Description

Last in a series of three: I realized that I have a set of prismacolor markers that are just drying out because I've always been a little afraid of them. I also have a tendency to use muted, toned-down tones, and I wanted to force myself to use bright, pure colors.

I pull my clothing and costume design from a bajillion sources that are just sort of a jumble in my head; so I tried to keep note of inspirations behind each outfit, in case anyone finds that sort of thing interesting:

:bulletyellow:Josephine Baker (who is one of the most unappreciated women/people of the 20th century - check out her Wiki - she was a WWII spy and life-long civil rights activist and the world only remembers her for dancing naked in a skirt of bananas.)
:bulletyellow:Victorian feathered yolks/collars, or rather modern goth reinterpretations of said collars (#1,#2,#3)
:bulletyellow: Gauntlet gloves (these are from the mid 1600’s but the style was revived in the first half of the 20th century )
:bulletyellow: Feathered headband hats – intended to run length of head instead of across it (I own two of these in different colors, and i LOVE them)
:bulletyellow: Dior’s New Look
:bulletyellow: big bird ...(haha, not really, but I couldn't help myself!)
