Veiled

Ahhh, another week just flew by.  Where does our
time go?  

The image that I've chosen for this week 
also has inspired the fashion designer Rachel Roy in her
Pre-Fall 2011 Collection.

Gloria Swanson

Gloria Swanson shot by Edward Steichen. The 1920′s film star has her gaze locked on the viewer through a veil of lace, which gives it a sultry and feminine vibe, that is simultaneously eerie and exotic.
 My daughter lives in the Silverlake District of LA.   Susan loves 
living in LA.  Her and her husband Will really take advantage of
so many wonderful things the city has to offer.  This year they
attended several of the Last Remaining Seats classic movie screenings.
The movies are shown in landmark movie theaters in the historic
movie district downtown LA.
One that they saw was Sunset Boulevard with
Gloria Swanson and William Holden.
I hope you enjoy this week's inspiration photo.  You may use
the photo in your creation of just let it inspire you.
