Yes, I understood the spirit part. I guess my comment was directed more about the literal part.

Tek Lok, well, I was kidding a bit in my post about authentic clothes. But did I conduct proper spirit of 19th century to you?..

Querthe, although I like historical dresses, they are not my primary fetish. And, of course, I don’t reveal all my plans at once.

If you were wearing authentic clothes of that kind you’d be sweating alot! As I understand they wore alot. Many many layers of gowns. Also there was those corsets they wore to look thinner. Maybe I’m thinking of the 18th century? No wait, 19 century means, 1800s.

Also, think about how in some countries where women tradtitionaly cover their faces with veils. Think if that was in our society, but with a twist. What if the majority of women wore stockings rather than veils.

Wonderful images. Effectively, as Pixelscan said, the contrast between your “skin” and your “dresses” creates a stunning impact on the photos.

Have you in prject to do something similar with other costumes (for example Victorian dresses, chinese or other?) It will be quite interesting see you in your kitty suit and dressed as a victorian woman.

pixelscan, I have never designed a complete outfit, however my ideas are always taken into consideration. Very often I propose various ideas for photo shoots. “Billy, I say, let’s play around this subject”, and Billy starts the outfit and charges the camera. Or vice versa – he proposes a costume, and I script the scene.

Hmm… Very insightful comment about versatility. I’m curious, Aurora, how much do you (and other models) contribute to the design process? Have you ever designed one of the costumes or outfits yourself? I think the finished costume is more fun to see when it is the result of everyone’s imagination.

pixelscan, I do admire Billy’s monochromatic ideas, but versatility is my strong point too. I love to be different!
Boys appeared to be shy to speak with us, but questioned Billy and the crew about what’s going on. Some even asked to let them take pics with us onto their own cameras and mobiles.
