The 'Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places' editorial for W Magazine features some uncomfortable romantic shots and androgynous fashion. Model Kristen McMenamy stars in this unusual editorial, which was shot at night, mostly on the street.

The title of this series is extremely fitting. McMenamy sports androgynous fashion, and slicked back white hair. She roams around the city streets at night, and has some bizarre romantic encounters with half naked men and women. In some shots she finds herself pressed up against a fence, while in others she's splayed out on top of a car.

In this editorial, McMenamy wears light and dark colored suits, as she actively looks for love in what can definitely be described as the wrong places. Some of the romantic interests featured in the series include a heavy set woman, an extremely fit blond male, and a slender brunette woman.
