Femme Noir

Noir
A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. But a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely  lethal combination.

The way she listened was more eloquent than speech.

The femme fatale ‘neath the guise of a damsel in distress… Lucky me… she had my number…

How could I have known that murder could sometimes smell like honeysuckle?

Pour yourself a drink. Put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.

I had an itch to do a vintage-esque portrait shoot so I paired up with the ever-polite and gracious Brownlee Currey to try some black & white fun. It was a truly lovely evening as his wife helped with my hair (I’m an absolute dunce when it comes to doing anything with my tresses outside of a ponytail. I’m serious. I spend entirely too much time wistfully sighing over friends’ vintage dos and seemingly perfectly coifed hair.) and Brownlee made the most delectable snacks for us to eat. I can’t even pronounce the cheese and smoked meat he put in front of my wide eyes, but I truly felt spoiled.

I also got to meet a new makeup artist friend, Courtney, who I promptly began to geek out with (that’s now my new deciding factor of “oo, you’re a crazy human like me. Come be part of my equally crazy social circles!“) After makeup and hair were finagled into place and lights were set up, off we went! (Though about halfway through we had to do some more finagling of the dress as, alas, it’s wee bit big for me. Thank goodness for clothespins! I imagine I’ll donate the dress back to Goodwill so it can be put back on the racks as a treasure for someone else to find. 🙂 )

    What an amazing photo-shoot! Your captured the vibe so well. Your hair looks lovely too. (Also the dress! *Swoon* hahah if it needs a home. 😉 Clothespins are so handy for quick photo shoot adjustments. Wonderful work as always. You are truly talented.

      I love that dress too! Well…except for the fact that it doesn’t fit my weird proportions. It’s very tight in the shoulders and chest and then loose in the waist area. It’s too small for me now, overall. I can no longer fit in it!
