STARS & OTHERS

The excitement created by the little red jacket and the anticipation of the fun to be had from the photographic travelog produced some extraordinary behaviour. Erica busied herself with assembling items of clothing that would suit including some spectacular lingerie, shoes and other stuff. And I created storyboards to pre-conceived ideas for photo sessions for capturing the exhilarating garment.

It wasn't easy. Not as easy as I first thought. Well, nothing worth doing well is, is it? After some exploratory sessions to test image results and general concept the realisation that the project was going to be a lot more work than we first had considered soon became evident. Not down-hearted we progressed.

All supportive props were really providing excellent support yet initial sessions were ending with just glamour images. You know the sort of thing 'reader's wives' essentially not the kind of result we were looking for. A brain-storming morning provided some strong and convincing solutions. These ideas and discussions soon conceived the criteria we were seeking, and creative and unique photographic images soon developed.

What we have in STAR & OTHERS is a range of photographs that embody the style of images we want to provide throughout the entire site.

Scroll and enjoy the photographic exploits of the Little Red Jacket.


The Star


ERICA'S LINGERIE AND PROPS
(An ever-growing collection)

In the spotlight.

If you don't like a piece of art, you can look at it in a nano-second and move on...







 

    







Still to be neat, still to be drest,
As you were going to a feast;
Still to be powder'd, still perfum'd,
Lady, it is to be presumed,
Though art's hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.

Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free:
Such sweet neglect more taketh me,
Than all the adulteries of art;
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

Ben Jonson  1573 - 1637

COMIC STRIP

The first conic strip was 'The Yellow Kid' by Richard Felton Outcault, which appeared in the Sunday newspaper New York World 1896; it was immediately successful and others soon followed. Current comic strip include 'Peanuts' by Charles M Schulz which began in 1950 and was read daily by 60 million people by the end of the 1960's.
Our offering is interesting but clearly not in the same league as the masters of this dynamic format. We bow to the extreme brilliance of these masters.
Enjoy the 'Beeno' our tribute to this formidable artform and successful mass media communicator.

The sun had long since in the lap
Of Thetis, taken out his nap,
And like a lobster boil'd, the morn
From red to black began to turn.

Samuel Butler  1612 - 1680



LEATHER TO LATEX
A moment of change from luxurious scarlet hide to lustrous ebony latex its polished, stretched surface unlike any other material.
 

When Beauty and Beauty meet
All naked, fair to fair,
The earth is crying-sweet,
And scattering-bright the air,
Eddying, dizzying, closing round,
With soft and drunken laughter;
Veiling all that may befall
After - after -

Rupert Brooke 1887-1915
