Accordion pink


Between painting, new illustrations, the staggering excitement of my art on display in New York City, and searching for Renaissance nightgowns and vintage dresses, I've also been heavily focusing my attention on photography. It's always been a playful hobby, but I've decided to take it more seriously these days... so here's a little behind-the-scenes peek at a shoot I did yesterday.

As for the vintage dress I'm wearing, the beautiful combination of romanticism and petal pink gives new meaning to unexpected antique store discoveries.

Found some great alternative styles here, here, and here.

Face Time with Red Wine

Through the looking glass of a little green Beetle... Unaffected, I paid little attention to the insufferable ambiance that lent a mere 22 degrees or to an audience of six casual observers who felt it mandatory to applaud the larking about of my camera love child. So we clambered into the cold steel of one such orphaned shopping cart and went on our happy way. Special thanks to the lovely Vicen for featuring me in LOOK 10 ... thanks a million sweetie!

The Carousel Ride

A little storytelling... A modicum of silence swallowed the room as dusty shards of sunlight patterned the multicolored carpet. Decorated with an army of garish jewelry, everything jingles, almost intentionally, as the woman perched behind the large candy counter brushes invisible lint from her blouse. Her silvery hair is the color of cotton candy. She offers a genuine smile before shifting her gaze downcast towards her slender hands. Briefly, she examines their delicate surface that is creviced by time and wiser than yesterday. At four quarters per ride, it was a small price for six minutes of uncontaminated childhood reminiscence to sweep the memory warehouse. And while we kept the company of an epoch 1920’s carousel, 60 handcrafted horses, and funky reindeer, we went round and round, faster and faster… letting it take us to those secret places we almost forgot existed. --Bella H. p.s.

Forty winks with Chloe, Dolce, & Lover...

Chasing Chloe around the house has become an exhaustible adventure, certainly worthy of America's Funniest Home Videos. At just 4 months old, she's a princess with a pistol... destructively dragging her food dishes up and down the stairs, prancing and carpet-rolling to her own self-entertainment, screaming the second you aren't allocating boundless amounts of attention, and pawing/scratching/chewing/eating every pillow in sight. Thus far, she's homicidally massacred a newly drafted manuscript, 2 pair of shoes, 1 fringe embellished scarf, and even my favorite glitter-studded tights are now a shredded pile of nylon tossed morbidly in the tights cemetery. Hope everyone's having a great weekend... ;) (Lover dress, Dolce & Gabbana wedges, H&M tights)
