Selection of Different Pics...

Here are the first in selection of pictures taken by Graeme Findlay. He's a photographer Scarlett worked with previously, when she was only doing make-up and body art. He asked her loads of times to model for him, and she kept refusing (hey, anyone heard this before???) But eventually relented. He can be found at http://www.bytor.co.uk/ .

As for the outfits...these are some of my favourite shoes. Difficult to walk in, but gorgeous. 6" spike heel - and Scarlett has 4 different pairs. 3 black, one red.

Once again Scarlett tightlaced. Black on black is as ever, difficult to see - one day I promise there will be pictures on here so you can see how small a 20" waist looks!

I love that hat! Really, Scarlett has a bit of a thing for hats (yes, as well as the shoes, corsets, stockings and makeup that you already know about!) But those ones in particular are quite foxy.

And for now Scarlett doing a very good job of looking cute and innocent..

Busy Weekend...

Another busy weekend for Scarlett - Saturday was another blaze of photos and fun.

The morning wandering about in medievel finery and the afternoon painted as a Geisha... along with a few other fun things. The paint job was pretty stressful - difficult to move or smoke - but the results are more than worth the hassle. Good experience as well, if a little tickly... It was not created by a professioanl body painter, and so the results are not as good as you could expect if you hired a pro... but we were aiming for an overall look, an idea rather than perfection...

Once again these were all taken by Tony Burns - one very talented gentleman! He has done an amazing job of putting Scarlett at ease, and making the whole experience one that she actually enjoys.

So here are the newest ones... The ones in the bath are fabulous, and I absolutely adore the

ones peeping through the keyhole. They work really well with the retro look, even if the water was freezing!

The Geisha isn't perfect - and to be honest looks a little creepy to me. I think its the way it makes Scarlett look kind of severe. But it is a great picture. Again, these ones show another totally different side of Scarlett, and I think that is the appeal.

And the rest of the best...

Actually several shoots are beginning to all blur together now, so some of these are all out of sequence. Its not important, but these are from some of the days I have not mentioned yet. They are from another almost all day shoot - a large chunk of which was creating the corset lacing -which would not have been possible without my dedicated hair/makeup/costume person. Who, as ever, did an amazing job. It actually looks quite realistic, and I would happily have it done again, even for a night out...

The best of the rest....

This was another all day shoot - creating almost 500 pictures in one day, and leaving me spoilt for choice about which ones I like best!

Here are the highlights of the first half of the day...

And here are the highlights of the second half of the day... With the first of the dramatic changes to Scarlett's appearance. Gone is the vibrant magenta, replaced with a black barrel curl wig. These really surprised everyone, just with quite how different they make Scarlett appear. It seems to affect her personality as much as her looks! But they also resulted in some of my favourite images so far. A day very well spent!

Some of Day Two...

I love this little slip...very very cute. And again, some pictures that Scarlett is pretty happy with. Already she is looking so much more relaxed in front of the camera...

The rest of Day One...

So, as you have probably guessed, Day One was pretty busy... sucessful, but busy. And I think somewhere along the line Scarlett had some fun. Actually, I know she had fun, but then spent the next few days feeling pretty scared about actually seeing the results.

That was pretty strange... and at times quite hard. But equally in quite a few of the pictures Scarlett really does not look like herelf. And I think everyone was pretty amazed that I really liked some of them... Its hard to look at a picture of yourself, and say "thats good" or "I like that", but with some of them I really do.

But of course, we did not stop there. Next up are the selected highlights of the next shoot or two... Already Scarlett is beginning to get happier and much more comfortable in front of the camera.
