This is the fashion editorial image I've chosen. I remember seen this in 2008 and I instantly fell in love. I was on the bus on the way to Camden Town and I saw this in the Metro newspaper. I really am a fan of how lace looks on really pale skin because it creates an amazing contrast and really interesting negative space. I'm a huge Liv Tyler fan and I think she looks beautiful. It was quite a shock to see her with a lot of make up because she tends to be shot with minimal make up or something that looks natural. I love the pose. There's a real sense of vulnerability.

This is Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana. I love photographs like this, when they make a modern celebrity look like someone classed as a timeless classic. In this instance that timeless classic is Marilyn Monroe. I think the image has been tastefully done, they've used her natural beauty to look like Marilyn, but they are still managing to advertise their product. I like the design behind this, as it makes me think 'iconic product used by an icon' The lighting is also really soft and this makes her skin look completely flawless.

| 'Ophelia' Sir John Everett Millais |
As someone who isn't a fan of Tate Britain, it's home to one of my favourite paintings. 'Opehila' was one of the only painting I truly enjoy looking at. There is just something so peaceful about her being in the water surrounded by flowers. There is said to be a skull in the flowers, I think I can see it. It's in reference to Hamlet. I read about the painting process and it's fascinating :
The figure of Ophelia was added afterwards. The model, Elizabeth Siddal, a favourite of the Pre-Raphaelites who later married Rossetti, was required to pose over a four month period in a bath full of water kept warm by lamps underneath. The lamps went out on one occasion, causing her to catch a severe cold. Her father threatened the artist with legal action until he agreed to pay the doctor's bills.

It's one of those things you always see on YouTube: 'Tutorial for Peacock eyeshadow' and it's rarely done well. I was so excited when I saw this. I love the use of colours; and the use of the look on one eye only. It makes me want to buy all of the colours used and go out in my glad rags and wear it with pride. I like how the model was casted, it's clear she was chosen for her bone structure and chiseled jaw. The 3/4 showcases the face and I think if they had used a different one it wouldn't have done the look justice.

This is my unposed image. It was taken at one of the LARP events I attend. It was mid battle and I decided this would be a perfect time to reapply my lipstick. What makes me smile about this image is my character is fearless warrior and mid battle I decide to put on some lipstick when no one was watching. How wrong was I. I hate having my photo taken but this is probably one of my favourite photos. I always chuckle. It looks really natural too, if I had been asked to pose like this it would have looked really cheesy
This will be one of my all time images of Harley Quinn. She's stood there fearless giving Batman a telling off. What I find interesting is I find this image empowering to women. I just think it's because she's standing up to a man that many other's bow down to. I'm a massive fan of the greyscale theme with the pop of red that's in her outfit.
