Gold To Me

I am a Ben Harper fan. Seriously. He’s a prolific musician who performs a variety of genres defying classification so is the perfect fan-obsession for a peripatetic music lover like me.  One of his songs that I really love is Gold To Me and this dress from Donna Flora made me think of it immediately. The rich gold color is laced with black and luxurious black netting at the neckline and the hem give it this a glam look that is perfect for evening.

You look like gold to me, and I’m not too blind to see.
Oh, you look like gold.
Said, you look like gold.

And you make me want to sing with all the joy you bring.
Oh, you look like gold.
Oh, you look like gold.

Like the rays down from the sun when a new day has just begun.
You look like gold.
You look like gold.

I love Thalia Jie’s sense of style – ever since the first time I met her at last year’s Something Fair/Expo and she said “I love your hair,” and when I looked at her, she was wearing the same hair. The other day I saw her style an dress by Patrizia Blessed on MAD Image that had me scrambling to check out the store. Not only did I find an array of arresting dresses, but that’s also where I found the baby doll in the last post. The store is full of fabulous and original dresses and gowns. I love this gold and black number.

Chance Greatrex of DARE makes some amazing poses. He doesn’t have a vast inventory, but instead has created some very specialized poses such as those recreating the art of Richard Longo or these editorial poses from high fashion photographers.  They are particularly difficult poses to make and still successfully avoid strange torsions and ugly twisting of the mesh, but he manages to make it work.

When I saw this baby doll nightie at Ardigraf Design Group, I decided that it would be a fun outfit to use for a shoot using his editorial poses since it is too sheer and skimpy to hide pose failures.  Besides, I have no idea how many times someone has asked if I knew where to find a nightie…and now at long last, I do.

It happens that posemaker Chance Greatrex posed for my Double Take project as well.
