"when in doubt, overdress." -vivienne westwood
I am crazy about this month's 'self portrait tuesday' challenge. any excuse to experiment, to play, to think, to take on unfamiliar roles or gently expose facets of the personality that rarely see the light of day... I do believe this goes beyond wigs and sunglasses. and carnival/circus act headpieces, as pictured above, ha. though I'm not going to pretend that I am above playing dress up (oh yes, there's a reason ava has two giant old suitcases overflowing with feathery, glittery, colorful junk with even more in the attic and I can't stop). I'm not going to pretend that my initial attraction to the challenge was anything short of girlish glee (I have always always wanted an excuse to buy a bright pink wig). but in my attempts to overdress (loving this quote by brilliant designer ms. westwood), I'm also hoping to maybe find a little something. anything. or maybe nothing. I don't know. and the not knowing part is what I like best about this assignment. mainly, I'm just hoping for fun.
and a shockingly bright pink wig.
What a great pic.
ReplyDeleteI dyed my hair pink once.
What an awesome pic! love it

You are such an inspiration. Dressing up is (oddly enough)) one of my least favorite things. This is a fantastic photo and the expression on your face is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI'll email you about the postcard swap!
what a cool costume or identity :)...i have a pink wig...too bad u are not in sac and i would let u borrow my wigs for some creative pics...or heck..u should just buy one...it is so so so fun to dress up!!
ReplyDeletei have a powder-pink-but-a-tad-bit-brighter wig that i love to wear. when i was bartending through college, i used to work in this restaurant. we decided that tuesday was "wig night"...and i used to sport my pink wig.

lulu- unfortunately, I don't own this wonderful little headpiece... it was something I tried on at the lakewood fleamarket while I was shopping with my cousin. good memory, though.
