symmetria purpurea - Before & After

Thought I'd upload a before and after of the pic since I just sent it school to be used on advertising posters for the photoshop classes I'm giving.

So, here ya go! "before" was cropped to show the pic as it was cropped to start with.

I'm well chuffed about Monica Bellucci though in real life I'm far more often said to look like Nelly Furtado.. which is also fine by me cos I find her quite pretty!

It's cold here without you - Outtakes!

I decided to put up some of the outtakes I liked from the shoot since it'd bug me too much to not have them up and I don't want to put em on flickr cos they're too similar to the other pic :P

I got:
A Thousand Splendid Suns (as you can see) from my book list.
2 bits of underwear which are so so cute and feminine!
beaded bracelet set which is absolutely AMAZING!
a purse.. which was exciting enough.. that turned out to also have a long chain to wear it on your shoulder!!!!
lip balm.. or so I thought :P the little tin is solid perfume and it smells great ;)
I got chocolate which my sis in law stole as predicted
and a gorgeous print by none other than Kezzaroo

here's the wee purse bag and bracelet up close





Thanks so so much Kez!!
