Deranged Beauty

1 By Moonlight-1

When I saw this dress by =Zenith= available at this round of Uber, I had to have it. It is feminine and soft and has luxuriously silky textures; just the kind of dress I love. I had visions of a romantic photo, showing her longing for her love in the moonlight.

I have spent three days working on various versions of the image, and to me, she still looks like a deranged woman in an asylum, begging to be let out.

Oh well, even a lunatic deserves to look beautiful.

New Year’s Day

1 New Year's Day

While I’m not a party-er or even a drinker, New Year’s Day was a lazy one for me. No hangover; just a day relaxing as I prepare myself to return to work on Monday after a luxurious 11 days off. I have enjoyed my vacation time and the extra time has allowed me to blog more frequently. I have no doubt my post count will drop off again once I return to the daily grind, but I am trying to bank a few photos so I can start off the year with a few more posts than I had been doing.

Whatever your New Year’s Eve was like, I hope you celebrated as you wished and your New Year’s Day is as lazy or productive as you want.

Remnants of a Circus

1 Remnants of the Circus-1

I honestly thought I was “circused-out” after doing a full month of circus-inspired photos for Cirque de Seraphim in November. So when The Challenge introduced its theme of “Fairground/Circus” for this month, I admit I sighed. Not being a role-player or heavily into themed decor, I was a bit reticent about blogging even more Big Top stuff.

But then, I took a look at what the designers have come up with, and I was quietly delighted. I fell in love with the organ from 22769 ~ [bauwerk] with it’s muted hues and loving detail. When you play one of the included three songs, the crank on the left side even turns! I also adore the circus dresser and mirror from *Essay*, a new-to-me store. There are three poses included in the dresser and this will fit into even a non-circus setting.

I can’t imagine that anyone would leave these behind, but it seems they have been dumped by the wayside. Perhaps the Ringmaster was a bit shady and made a hasty retreat from town. Better for the villagers that these were the remnants of the circus, and not the lions or tigers or bears…

Oh my.
