Week 35 of 52 - 70's Hippy (Janis Joplin)

 "I'm one of those regular weird people" - Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin was a 70's hippy, musician who played at the famous Woodstock Festival in 1969 - she was a wild woman with a unique voice. I tried to do a 'redo' picture of her here - what do you think? I could totally be her daughter right?

 "Don't compromise yourself. You are all that you've got" - Janis Joplin

I didn't use a Janis Joplin song because I couln't find one that I really liked and thought that it would go with this post. So I used these amazing group of men! This song is just the best, its so feel-good and relaxing haha
This post was really fun to do - thanks Edey darling for the great help! And Lia-jie for her perfect glasses :)

 I have already joined myself in marriage to a husband, namely the kingdom of England.
-Queen Elizabeth 1

My Lords, do whatever you wish. As for me, I shall do no otherwise than pleases me.

-Queen Elizabeth 1

This was interesting to do haha ... it's a bit of a Queen Elizabeth with a twist- i had to do a lot of research for this one! All i know about her really is that she was a mean lady who didn't bath or brush her teeth aah please correct me i'm wrong...
I found a song, thanks to Tonya for suggesting the Sex Pistols - I know it's not about this ^ queen but i still think it fits in a weird way! And plus these guys have such a shweeet sense of style

Thanks so much Dani for the dress - and Dad an Edes for the great help!

Week 33 of 52 - Calm

She drew her breath, awaiting the water's comforting effect.
Gently her eye lids close, she crinkles up her cold nose.
Bent-over, her fingers rest upon the skirts of the pool,
her shivering reflection whispers 'get in you fool'.
Pressing her hands into the icy bricks, she lowers herself into the warm-kicks, of the water.
Carbon Dioxide escapes her lips heavily.
The soft warmth of steam kisses her face lovingly.
The calm water has such a magical air, it caresses her flowing hair.
Gently it absorbs into her skin, calming her deep within.
-R J King

Ahhh this was exhasting to do! Well really the editing i did it all in such a mad rush...It doesn't really have a theme...I rushed so hard to find a song and i chose this one, i dont really know why, its just 'calming' i guess and plus it's one of my favorites. If you guys know of another song that could have worked please tell me!
These pics where taken at Goudini Spa, so the water was so lovely and warm, and everything else was freaken freezing!

Hope you like it all xo
