MUSE: Bo Barnes

Close friend and confidant Bo Barnes is quickly becoming LA's most in fashionable crystal healer. We've known him for years as the bubbly and hilarious over the top fashion boy, but his latest path has left us wanting to find out more.

Settled in Downtown LA, owner of the quirkily named company "Calm Down, Please," Bo gave me some insight into where it all began.

"I come from a lineage of intuitive or you could even say gifted people. I've had paranormal experiences my whole life. Some which would keep you up at night and some a bit more pleasant. I've been able to see energy fields, auras, etheric cords etc. since childhood. I never knew what it was or the significance until my adult years when I started searching for answers."

He went on to describe what brought him to become a healer himself.

"I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and there were several years that were pretty rough. I started working with reiki and crystal energy and it helped me in ways that western medicine alone could not. Just seeing my personal transformation from a scared anxious negative little boy into a loving compassionate grown man made me want to share this with others."

He went on to talk about his possible collaborations with big name designers and brands in the works and how crystals are incorporated into fashion. Something we've never thought about, but for photoshoots and merchandising crystals are a current staple in many companies' aesthetics. Not only used for decor, he can curates specific crystal grids to bring positive energy and enhance wealth to the brand.

A few mimosas in, we were ready to take on the shoot. Huddling by the windows of his loft while wrangling his Frenchie, we were able to catch his uber good looks and effortless style in every shot.
