Seen on my recent photo shoot in Empire Mine State Park, hanging out on this flower in the middle of the fountain:
It looked, for all the world, like this Praying Mantis owned the place!
While I'm a it, here's a few highlights, dress-wise, from my shoot:
Blue velvet 60s princess dress
80s hand-dyed (by me!) bubblegum pink Marie Antoinette Gunne Sax dress
Isadora Duncan meets Grecian goddess meets 1920s flapper meets 1970s disco glam!
Peacock blue lace dancing dress
Elaborately embroidered 1970s cotton bohemian dress, made in Pakistan
1970s maroon and ivory praire babe dress
Ah, the bohemian masterstroke- a black label 1960s Gunne Sax by Jessica, featuring a hand-stamped ethnic print (Thai? Balinese?), and fabulous mutton sleeves!
Hope you all have a great weekend.... I will see you on the other side of the Adventure!
What a cool surprise. I love the photo of her looking at the camera - what a ham!
What a beautiful and elegant collection!!
Hugs,
Ev

I love that Gunne! The whole photo looks like you should be in a pre-raphealite painting! Fabulous.
