Blogger Babes Collection Part 2 of 3

In my previous blog entry I spoke of simplicity and a fresh aesthetic unadulterated by the excess of vice. Today, I’m heralding this very concept. Opulence, grandeur, excess, (‘80’s early ‘90’s excesses) I’m talking hair-band hair, gold encrusted Versace couture (pre-Donatella, although she has her moments) and a Gypsy’s penchant for wearing all her jewels and belongings at once. Therefore the aesthetic of my next feature blogger encompasses this all, and much much more.
 
Ms. Vintage Virgin, what. a. badass. Whether it be her take-it-or-leave-it attitude or her love of layering, I heart it all! When she does rock-and-roll she puts Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix to shame. To shame. In fact, she's the one who inspired me to do this collection. I noticed she had a few illustrations from admirers and thought, why not? Bring two of my passions together; fashion and illustration! And side point - she's just oh-so-pretty. Lame I know...

Any who, as with all illustrations, they never capture the true essence of a person and usually exaggerate something the subject won't like. Apologies. It's all good. Hope you like it...
