Peeps: Mardi by Chris Teel


'I heard you wanted to see a Peep show...'


They say that Peeps are to Easter what Ugly Sweaters are to Christmas, but yet the holiday wouldn't be the same without them. I am certainly glad photographer Chris Teel used those wee little Peeps instead of covering Mardi's incredible body with a big ole sweater! Some long time FH viewers might recognize Mardi from my 2013 piece featuring his work with Chris. (Old School Christmas) The theme for that shoot was Christmas, but again Chris wisely didn't have any sweaters handy and Mardi was only donning a candy cane and some body glitter.


What's funny about Peeps is that although it's hard to find many people who actually like them, it wouldn't be Easter without them. The marshmallow candy come in a variety of different shapes and colors, but it's the original yellow Peeps, designed to look like an Easter chick, that are the most famous and popular. Mardi has the most beautiful skin and the glittery yellow Peeps looks are so temptingly displayed....  Even those who don't like the sugary treats would be tempted and find it impossible not to go in for a bite.
