'I'm Peeling; I'm Fading Away'

Those are the words that might have been uttered by this mannequin,

whose false eyelash is permanently stuck in the becoming unglued

position -- just as her 'style' is glamorous, but at the same

time 'outmoded' -- meaning 'no longer stylish' or 'in fashion'. She's

permanently beautiful but out of vogue. Your ratings and critiques are

This is very stright forward ! Both the proximity to the subject as well as the crop really give the power to this photo for me.

Glad to see you have been lurking somewhere out there Laurent-Paul R.

 

Yes, when I saw this, it was striking and at the same time enigmatic as well as allegorical.

 

I saw it in a costume shop. The owner let me in to photograph, through the back where he was, but if I'd come in the front the clerk would have stopped me,and tried when I wandered up front.

 

Strange place, strange photos.

 

Interesting.

 

Nothing mystical; just strange,and I thought I'd share.

 

Glad to see you hereabouts; missed your occasional forays here.

 

They're always rewarding -- don't be a stranger.
