Flippin' Your Fins You Don't Get Too Far

With Halloween just around the corner I'm starting to think about what I'm going to be this year. Yes that's right I'M NOT TOO OLD TO DRESS UP. Halloween is my favorite holiday solely for that purpose. Who doesn't want to pretend to be someone else for a night?

Here's some costume ideas that I quickly sketched....

The Queen of Hearts

from Alice In Wonderland

A Mermaid

Aphrodite the Goddess of Love

(Yes Aphrodite is naked in the painting if you're familiar with the Birth of Venus by Alessandro Botticelli, but if Aphrodite wore clothes this is what she would wear in my mind)

Unfortunately Halloween is only one night a year-

So which of the three should I be??

Painting the Roses Pink

Our inspiration or theme for this photo shoot was Alice in Wonderland. We targeted a fairy tail and whimsical look by taking pictures in the evening to give them a golden glow. We ventured into the forest hoping to discover a rabbit whole to fall into but came up short. Oh well.

Okay so I know the movie talks about "Painting the Roses Red", but I like pink better.

It was 103 degrees out so we were sweating like no other. It was gross.

Haha

..... Mad Hatter?

I actually removed alllll of the sequins on the dress because I think it took away from the classy-ness of it. It took over two hours to remove all of them by hand but the dress looks a bizzilion times classier without them.

Dress: Buffalo Exchange
