Just like Alice followed a white rabbit into Wonderland, photographer Justin Monroe takes us on a surreal and sinister journey in his photography book ‘Down the Rabbit Hole.’
Monroe enlisted the outrageous Janice Dickinson and Amanda Lepore for this out-of-this-world journey into a realm of sex-infused twisted fantasy.
"It is extremely important for me to take the viewer on a roller coaster ride," said Justin Monroe, who is a self-professed "chronic day dreamer and a bit of a pervert so any opportunity to lock a viewer in, strap ’em down and take ’em makes my ass twitch."
Other models who went down the hole include Erik Rhodes, Jessica Rabbit, Cody Fallon, and Stefan Pinto.
