In a twist from the "Noir" style, here I asked Nikola to stand in front of our softbox while we were out on the streets during this shoot.

#TIL there is a profession called #Desnuda. It originated at parties held by the Latin American community in #NewYork and parallel developments such as the #OutdoorCoEdToplessPulpFictionAppreciationSociety. Desnudas allow tourists to take photos of them in #TimesSquare in exchange for tips. They often come from #Venezuela or #Colombia and prefer this work to the #lowWageSector. There have been arrests for fraud and panhandling, as well as aggressive disputes between competing (groups of?) Desnudas. Desnudas are dressed in #highHeels, #thongs, #fascinator and very simple #bodyPainting in the colours of the US flag: red, white and blue.

#Grokipedia has a long, detailed article. #Wikipedia has a very short article in English and #Bengali, but not in German, Spanish, Portuguese or any other language.

There is only one photo of a desnuda in Wikipedia, and that was imported from #Flickr. Because there is only one photo, there is no Commons category for desnuda.

Every year, millions of tourists come to Times Square and take hundreds of millions of photos, including and especially of and with the desnuda. And yet no one has uploaded a single photo of one or more Desnudas to Wikipedia, and only one has been imported.

If you are at Times Square, or have been there, or are going there, why not take some photos and upload them to Wikipedia?

#zuverschenken #fedigive

#Fascinator, z.B. für #Steampunk oder einfach als festliches #Accessoire.
Maße: Höhe 36 cm, Breite (an der breitesten Stelle) 20 cm.
Auf der Rückseite sind Haarkämme befestigt, man kann den Fascinator also mit langem Haar tragen (am besten nicht, wenn es windig ist).
Wurde mir vor mehreren Jahren geschenkt, ich habe mittlerweile keine Verwendung mehr dafür.

Versand nur innerhalb von DE. Aus organisatorischen Gründen übernehme ich auch die Versandkosten.

Der Fascinator besteht aus einer Stoffbasis, auf der mehrfarbige paillettenbesetzte große Blumen und Blätter aufgenäht sind, darunter sind mehrere Pfauenfedern befestigt.

Auf der Rückseite sind zwei Haarkämme befestigt, damit man sich den Fascinator ins Haar stecken kann.

Nikola working her magic in front of the camera for our "portrait noir" shoot. So lovely and talented, well beyond her years.

A favorite from my portrait noir shoot with the stunning @nikola.neverovska . Everything really came together so well for this shoot, and Nikola absolutely crushed it!

First week back to #teaching haute #couture/#sewing this week involved using nylon #horsehair braid to support garment hems as well as in embellished head pieces.

Another favorite from my "portrait noir" shoot with the amazing Nikola. She's so lovely and expressive, and just perfect for this series.

Nikola's look here is so engaging and lovely, making this an easy favorite from our recent shoot. To me, color and black and white both have their strengths.

Nikola in black and white from our recent "Dive Noir" shoot. She did an amazing job bringing the perfect vibe to match the scene here.
