Mirabilis

[kambriel]

Yesterday, Summer and Dru did a photoshoot for their upcoming Mirabilis CD "Sub Rosa", while wearing the flowing gowns I designed for them especially for the occasion. This series of photos came out so romantically that it looks as if they both stepped beyond the canvas of a pre-Raphaelite painting.

They even got to play a bit of my favourite game, "Stalk the Peacock"!

Oh, beautiful! (though I misread "Stalk The Peacock" as "Slap the Peacock" which I guess is the Pre-Raphaelite version of the Whack-a-Mole game:))

I love the way the sleeves and the panels on the gowns go together! Very lovely. The peacock looks like he's jealous :-)

Thank you ~ I'm really happy with the way they came out. And you are 100% right about that peacock ~ he's giving them the eye!

The gowns and ladies are lovely and the peacock is adorable! Congratulations on a job well done!

Great set and great outfits. Fracture and myself stalked a peacock for well over an hour, and only got one semi useable shot. Crafty little fellas :-) but i did see some tourist feeding them something that the peacock liked and ate out of their hands. We didnt have the right treats and was ignored.

The dresses and the photos are lovely! My first thought was, "ooh, I hope those are new additions to the catalog!"

Aw! I love peacocks. They always make me think of Oscar Wilde.

beautiful! i love how they got different effects with the different belts.

there's a park near here with peacocks, including a couple albinos. it's always a treat to see them strutting around showing off their tails. :)

(and hooray for a new mirabilis cd!)

White peacocks always make me think of King Herod's speech in Oscar Wilde's "Salome" :) "...I have ~white~ peacocks!..."

That's one thing I really wish I had attended C11 for ~ to visit Balboa park ~ the photos I've seen of it look exquisite.

i found a hardcopy collection of oscar wilde's works in an antique shop many years ago (lovelovelove the smell of old pages!). i've yet to read it, for shame!

the organ pavilion is positively gorgeous, as it has the architecture set against green. considering doing a low-key victorian picnic lunch there for my birthday (since last year's attempt was foiled by a back injury), and then stroll about the park with friends and a parasol, perhaps visit one of the museums or the japanese friendship garden.

I just couldn't be happier with how the gowns worked out for the photos.

I hope you don't mind the way we accessorized them with belts. We each helped each other pick something to add to the gown. Actually, my kitty picked my belt. It goes with a different blouse I have and as I was rummaging through my closet, he began to bat at the belt hanging from a hanger. I don't normally like a line right under my bust, but the way the dress fit me, it really worked out!

Dru had brought a lot of different accessories with her and I loved the way the chain set off the gown. The colors were perfect for the scenery we chose. The fabrics are so amazing and lush. Thank you again, so much. We had such a wonderful time draping them around for different effects!

The belts are perfect! I actually meant to suggest that as a finishing touch so I'm very glad you had fun accessorizing them in this way :)

Your kitty has ~exceptionally~ good taste (give him my compliments!) ~ I noticed right away how good that belt looked and the placement if very flattering. I remembered you mentioning in the past not liking the empire cut, but in this case, the proportions looks just right and you appear so very regal and statuesque.
