I love veils and masks

I don't have much time to blog today so here's some pictures I've been collecting.  I love masks and veils and sometimes think I could do with having a permanent one in my handbag after a night out!

Madisyn as Madonna by Ellen von Unwerth

American model Madisyn Ritland looks fabulous as Madonna in this shoot by the wonderful Ellen von Unwerth.  Called Like A Virgin, it was shot in 2008 for Art + Commerce.  Images courtesy of Fashion Gone Rogue.

Early Madonna was my favourite.  I grew up with tunes like Lucky Star, Borderline, Holiday and Into the Groove.  I loved Desperately Seeking Susan and when Vogue came out  I played it on

My favourite photographers - Ellen von Unwerth

'She Disappeared After This'from Ellen von Unwerth's book Fraulein
I alway's loved Ellen von Unwerth's work.  Her pictures explore the themes of beauty, fashion, fantasy and fetishism.  She has photographed some of the world's most beautiful women (and men).  If you're not familiar with her work, here are some of her pictures.  I have had to post the safer ones due to Blogger's adult content
