Robed Bohemian 003

My sister-in-law came to visit, since the end of May, all the way from China. She gave me a "hong bao" (red envelope) which was a gift, so i spent my money at Target buying nutrition stuffs like products made of Moroccn argan oil... otherwise my hair would look incredibly dull & dingy...
So, I'm happy with these...

Bohemian Portraits (in Nature) 002

Just a favorite motif of mine... I like natures, and tress, and all that... since I was in middle school, my nickname was "Pocahontas". Some folks still actually call me that! ^,^

At least some of these look a lil' bit better...
































I still think it's not my best work tho'...

I admit, it's probably not my best work... but, at least it's something...

Depending upon whatever your definition of "kimono" means I guess you COULD say: Yeah, that's a Kimono.

From my limited understanding of whatever "kimono" was supposed to mean,is that it means "clothes" or "clothing" in Japanese... but, despite my having watched hundreds of hours of Japanese films, movies, TV shows, I don't actually speak the language...

So..... I just call these my robes, because i have 2 of them. they are both vintage 2000/2001 robes made by sexy designer "Frederick's of Hollywood" which usually makes lingerie & sleepwear, among other things. And, I believe this was among the VERY first thing I'd EVER purchased with a bank card online, when online shopping was often considered risky, since the 1990s.

I used a secured service called "Yahoo Wallet" which encrypted your online translations. believe it or not, my first robe I purchased was the magenta/hot-pink robe, even tho' I hate pink... but, I felt the colors went well together, on the graphic printing. I also wrote my VERY first online customer review with them, and the vender was very professional, friendly, and polite, and even wrote me a personal thank you note/e-mail. So, i went back and purchased the 2nd, robe, which is the cyan/electric blue one.

Both robes were"Made In USA". Can u believe that? I still wear them all the time, and the quality is STILL excellent! Never fell apart, never wore out!

They don't make 'em like they used to....

Anyways, I'd been wanting to do something with my robes... but, I just can;t get down to play artsy-fartsy photography stuff with my friends in PA, yet... So many set-backs in my plans. Much to my frustration!

So, I desided to try a Bohemian flavor here... I'm on a bohemian theme kick still...

Prep

I still enjoy, and would like to do more, pirate cosplay stuff... But, recently I've been on a Bohemian theme kick for a while...

It's been rather cold as well... And I still am experiencing delays in my plans, for quite a number of things. (If you only knew.)

Here are some of the test frames from when I started my photoshoot last week.

Yes, my hair is very thin, and my nails are very soft, brittle, and often bleed...

So, if you want to be judgmental of me, keep that in mind... I'm also not 20-something anymore.





I'm aware that these are not so great... I had already made several attempts all month in May, and constantly being screwed when big clouds rolled in the moment i put my eye to the view finder. VERY frustrating!
But, by the time I finally had a good enough day to shoot, it was VERY COLD, and i just wasn;t feeling it....
