Description In the 15th century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers. Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not". This is a flower connected with romance and tragic fate. It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.

Gorgeous picture...man I can't believe the things you have to go through to get photos for us (and I'm sure lots of others). Blue is most definitely your colour

the outfit is great - just a question: did you have a blouse in your collection, with buttons down he back - victorian styled?

silvergrey In reply to CatDeLaLuna [2009-06-16 18:35:52 +0000 UTC]

No, I do not. I wouldn't be opposed to having a blouse with that design element, tho, I don't know of any designers who currently make such a thing

Beautiful as always! The eye makeup is flawless and absolutely captivating, and I love how well the colors of the dreads and the color of the dress compliment each other! And I just noticed, do you wear that necklace on a lot of your shoots? It looks familiar, haha^^

silvergrey In reply to dragonbabe101 [2009-06-15 19:27:43 +0000 UTC]

I wore it in the previous set, and one before that.
(It's one of my favourite jewelry pieces; I wear it most of the time IRL. Sadly, it broke this morning I need to find a way to fix it.)

Nonsense. You have a great facial structure. But it's nice to see you're not a vain ponce. *playful wink*

I nearly always get on DA first thing in the morning to check out my watched people and when I have one of your Images, it is ALWAYS a good day.

Thank you for that.

I'm curious! So, how do you do it? You dress up, take your stand and camera with you.. and travel to wherever you shoot? Or.. do you do it close to home? I just had a funny vision of you walking through town with a camera and stand-bag, all dressed up
