  3. The last picture brings back fond memories of my grandfather who gave me a copy in the 60's, when I was a teenager. He said it reminded him of me when I teased my hair! Beautiful photos.

  5. LA,

    You have chosen your template wisely as it so brilliantly showcases the imagery. I long for the spaces of white.

    As always, kudos to your brilliance in juxtapositioning.

  7. It is funny...no matter the culture, the social status...women will always go to amazing lengths to adorn themselves. We are funny creatures.
