It’s going to be great to see how you will use your new skills in make-up to transform yourself even more in future!

pixelscan, the name of photographer is Paula. She is professional actress, so she is not only modeling for Billy (see http://mannequeen.com) but also making me up and even takes photos.
I chose the forest because I liked the idea of absurd situation when a window mannequin dressed to be exhibited in a boutique, by unknown reason gets leaned against a lonely tree, either lost or abandoned.

teslaboy, it’s a self-control technique based on ShaoLing knowledge that permits to keep a pose and relax in the same time. Very convenient!

I think that VanMan’s comments are interesting because he could not recognize you behind the makeup and wig. I think that too often, women hide their beauty behind a mask of cosmetics, and I admire the satirical way you’ve portrayed that here. Your pose and the lack of expression on your face depict the uncomfortable, constricting situations in which many of us find ourselves during daily life.

And while the white suit is a beautiful design, the pants and shoes look like they don’t quite fit, as if they were stretched over a mannequin form; and the bright white color gives you the added burden of keeping the suit clean and unwrinkled. I can’t determine if you’re wearing black tights or a catsuit underneath, but everything in the image works well to convey the tightness, constraint, and overall discomfort of a living mannequin’s life. Brilliant work!

Can you tell us the name of the photographer kneeling in the image? Also, can you tell us why you chose the forest for this adventure?

Once again you do not disappoint, Aurora!

What great images. You look great in this make-up….very different! Maybe you can experiment some more with make-up to give yourself even more different looks in future shoots….

The white leather(?) suit and the lycra(?) black sweater and tights provide a sumptuous contrast in the outfit…..the only improvement I could suggest would have been black satin or lycra gloves to complete the ensemble….

But thank you for once again displaying your inventiveness and versatility!

VanMan, everybody says it’s me, but once I looked in the mirror after being made up, I’m not sure anymore.
As you may know, Billy has developed an unique technique that allows a person to stand motionless for any needed amount of time. In this shoot I kept my pose for only one hour.

Is that you, Aurora, or one of Billy’s other models? Also, how long did you/she have to stand still like that for this shoot?
