Dress

puggirl365

When I lived in New Orleans, I sometimes would dress up in colored wigs and outlandish outifits when my friends and I would go out places. The Friday after 9/11, I wore this blue wig with a similar red shirt and white jeans to the movies and dinner just to show my patriotism.

Since moving to Maine, though it's giving me a chance to remake myself and rediscover myself in many ways, I've lost this dress-up-and-make-believe part of myself. Everyone I know here seems to have lost that part of themselves when they grew up, I guess. The grown ups don't even seem to do costumes at Halloween.

And so my wigs and costumes and some silly, make-believe part of me sits in one of those big air-tight plastic containers in the basement. Yesterday it started calling to me. It occurred to me that Project 365 seems like a good way to let that side of me come out to pay every now and then.

(I also uploaded these two photos from this afternoon's photo shoot: silhouette and blue life)

[post-production note: I changed this photo to sepia and altered it with a soft focus on the face.]

Constructive criticism and comments welcome.
