Posting Alexis Ren is always a bit of work because there are so many pictures to choose from and when you have too much of a choice it can become difficult.  There is no excuse to select poorly and with someone like Alexis Ren.  By select poorly I mean I want to get pictures that embody what it is about her that is appealing, what it is that clicks and makes her so beloved to so many people on tumblr.  It would be easy to write that off as “hotness” but I am not sure that is really true because some models seem to connect with people better than others and the ones who are less popular it certainly isn’t because they are ugly.  As you get older you realize advertisers really only sell us a few things and sex isn’t one of them.  Sex is just what they use to distract you from what they are really selling.  I feel like those things are either lack of loneliness or nostalgia.  Every product out there they try to tell us will make you feel not so all alone or it will help you recapture that spark you lost years ago.  I feel like that is why Alexis Ren works as a model, because she embodies youth.  I don’t mean that in a creepy way but I mean a feeling of youth.  Not hers, yours.  Her best pictures embody this sort of happy, carefree teenagerdom that I think is appealing to even people in their early 20′s because we are all nostalgic for things that never even really happened.  Even for people who didn’t have the happiest childhood it is easy to remember the most exciting parts through rose tinted glasses and forget the responsibility and work and hard times that even teenagers have.  And that is the power of the best Alexis Ren pictures, the power to invoke an idyllic day on the beach with your friends that never actually happened but your brain will manage to twist enough that you can find a memory to fit it.  She will make you feel that again for a little bit and that will be nice.  Or I am projecting.  that is possible since I think the true power of models is often to be a blank slate for us to project onto, the best model can be everything for everyone just by existing. It probably doesn’t matter since most of you will reblog this without text.  Today I want to fuck Alexis Ren.
