When three crazy girls get together for some dressing up fashion creative fun!!!
Behind the scenes of my latest photoshoot for Paradise Gypsies - 'Paradise Carnival' Collection soon to be hitting my Etsy store and Paradise Gypsies website. The fabulous make up is by Clari Thomas, creator of Stellar Dust.

Last year, the Fraenkel Gallery housed an exhibition 'Radical Beauty' of photographs by Irving Penn.
On view was work spanning six decades of the artist’s influential career. "His subjects—from the
highlands of Papua New Guinea to the high-society of the fashion world—are presented as distinct
and particular." This particular image is of Chanel Feather Headdress, New York 1994. I have found
this headdress to be quite fantastic!!

This morning I came across the wonderful photography on Flickr from Jay - JET_BKK's photostream
Indeed a true traveller, his photographs have totally had me entranced looking through all 78 pages worth, stirring up my wanderlust. My favourite being the Tribal collection of amazing images across Asia. Please follow and support Jay's travels & photography capturing the fascinating World we live in. Thank you Jay.
I am so thrilled to see these feather headdress from Banaue, Philippines. Absolutely stunning.
