STEAMING LIVE SHOOTING UPCOMING TOP FASHION MODELS IN THE BARELY THERE LINGERIE FASHION EDITION CALLED OUT OF CONTEXT AT EMPIRE HOTEL ROOFTOP LOUNGE, NEW YORK CITY AT LINCOLN CENTER. MARCH 14,2014
I love to have dolls with a variety of hairstyles in my collection and given that I also have a sort of 'two dolls per sculpt' rule (which is more often broken than adhered to but it is a kind of 'guiding principle ;-)) Dominique Evening Blossom was my first choice to represent this sculpt in my collection and I still think she is one of the best!
I have been inspired in her styling by the fabulous Style Lab outfits from the Luxe Life Convention, in particular the Remix outfit. Dominique has been rebodied on a NuFace Latino skin tone body which I actually think is a much better skin tone match for her than her original Light Honey body (which she donated to Amelie ;-))
Dominique wears:
Annik Pop of Color shorts
Color Infusion Jacket from the Gloss ? Convention 2014
Mad Love Rayna stockings
Older Nu face or FR (?) shoes

Botanical Illustrations have always fascinated me--such attention to details! Finally, I have attempted a botanical illustration; something I have always wanted to try! I have a lot to learn about scientific art drawings!
The name Van Houtte fascinated me, as it is similar to mine! I read that he hired the best lithographers of the era to create color illustrations of the flowers in his gardens. He published a book from 1845 - 1883, as listed in my middle picture.

I have ambivalent thoughts and feelings about these stencils on the muscular fir beams in the lobby of Lake Quinault Lodge.
On the one hand, if one approaches them with academic detachment, they're interesting examples of how the dominant culture represents subalterns, which is as dangerous, exotic and not quite real.
Just as no real wolf ever looked anything like the red snarling beast on the left, the Native American on the other side is an exaggeration right out of the pages of Boys Own Paper. Cultural authenticity was not prioritized in selecting the Indian's attire or his activity.
On the other hand, the problem is that history is written (or stenciled) by the winners, and the result is neither kind nor accurate. Take, for example, the style employed in the artwork.
If the decorative scheme were being created today, the result might look nothing like this. Today, some 90 years after the lodge was built, the indigenous Northwest Coast style is seeing a renaissance. Instead of being an Arts-and-Crafts take on the denizens of the temperate rain forest, the stencils might be expressed in the twenty-first century's version of the vocabulary of local indigenous art, although that is a contested subject.*
For a number of reasons, I'm not suggesting that only Native American artists should be allowed to express Native American subjects. However, unless non-native artists demonstrate greater sensitivity in the handling of Native American imagery, essentialist claims to ownership of subject matter and artistic style (believe me, they're out there - see the story in the link below*) will gain greater appeal.

My first encounter with ''Spike'', the beautiful female Puna Ibis was back in 1997 when she was an eight year old in what was then called the Crystal Gardens (originally opened in 1925), located on Douglas street in downtown Victoria, styled on the Crystal Palace in London, and opening as botanical gardens in 1980, it was home to a range of exotic birds before it's closure in 2004.
Spike moved over to the Victoria Butterfly Gardens located in the Greater Victoria region of Brentwood Bay, British Columbia, Canada. Being just a stones throw away from the homes of some of my family in Sidney, BC, the gardens quickly won my heart over, as did ''Spike''.
She moved slowly and majestically around the butterfly gardens in the company of her two friends, a pair of Caribean Flamingo (Phoenicopterus Ruber) called Mango and Houdini. ''Spike'' played with visitors shoes, fed fish by stealing the Flamingo's food and holding it under water in her beak, and made a loud call if you upset her or she just plain didn't like you!
She sadly passed away of heart failure and old age in January 2014, at approximately 24 years of age (in the wild she would only have made 10 to 12 years). After her death, a plaque in her honour was placed at the Butterfly gardens and donations were taken and passed to '' Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) '', at 1020 Malloch Rd, Victoria, BC V9C 4G9.
A lovely bird who gave so many poeple a lot of pleasure, I hope ''Spike'' crossed over the Rainbow bridge and is still up there nipping at any shoes that mightg be laying around, and voicing her displeasure at anyone who displeases her.

Photograph of ''Spike'', a female Puna Ibis (Plegadis ridgwayi) aged roughly 8 years. From the family Threskiornithidae, these amazing birds are found in Bolivia, Argentina, Peru and Chile in swamplands, lakes and marshes. It's main range is within the Andean highlands and it has even been domesticated by the Uru people (indigenous people of Peru and Bolivia), for meat and eggs.
