Wanda02_08_05b.jpg

For our friends in New Orleans. Here is Wanda all dressed for Mardi Gras with nowhere to go. Sometimes living in Utah does have its down side.

Here is an out take. It seems this always happens when we head into the studio http://www.pbase.com/image/39550838

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/100s f/11.0 at 100.0mm iso200 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Posing in a costume was always kind of fun, and tricky at times! The problem we had during this shoot was getting those pesky beads to stay in place! I had 5 pounds of beads around My neck and you'd think that would be enough to keep things covered, but NOoooooooooo! Those naughty beads just kept on migrating such that we had to stop, reposition and try again! I think we finally ended up using double-sided tape to keep them in place so that My nipples weren't playing "peek-a-boob". (laffin)

Great photo Bill, you will just have to come to New Orleans next year and visit. One other pbaser came in to meet the New Orleans group:http://www.pbase.com/choochooboss/image/39510068

That is so cool....the colors just jump out at you. And I love the mask, Wanda. Have a really fun Mardi Gras party! You could wear that outfit in Vegas, too! And you would "wow" them.

Wow! Very colorful, with a tribal feel about it. Good job Bill (and Wanda, of course :)).

The mask was a gift from one of Wanda's fans.

Great shot Bill..
Mardis Gras...bound...

Beautiful Mask...Wanda did you make this one..???

Many many beads....Nice Pearl Wrap aroung the throat...

I really like the composition and how her headdress fills the upper third of the frame then leads down carrying your eyes into the entire image...
