I just love the styling of this shoot - lazing about and crafting in the adobe hacienda with your long hair free and flowing. Although they do look a bit like they are imprisoned and waiting for the magnificent seven to rescue them*. A poncho sweatshop?
Looking at the patterns I realise that the old poncho is a very decadent item of clothing. Some of them have 7 balls of wool - just in the fringing!!!
Was wool really that much cheaper in the past?
Oh and I love that the poncho can also be a skirt. Ah the seventies. All long hair, boots and swathes of wool fringing.
A poncho sweatshop? Hahaha. I like to think of it more as a cult with Mr. Brynner as the guru, everyone lined up for their special time with him. Heh.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Seven balls of wool for fringe? I thought ponchos came with fringe already attached, magic-like. You must be excited about your project.
Oh a Brynner Poncho cult! Brilliant! I'll be in it - it does have a creepy cult feel actually! All that HAIR!
DeleteRegarding the poncho dilemma, it will come as NO surprise that I urge you to go multi coloured!
ReplyDeleteponchos are divoon! I don't have one, however! I used to have a two toned green one, but I gave it away, as my copious bosom made it seem like a tent. Bloody love them though, and these pix are wonderful! You, you gorgeous little beast, need a billion caftans! You will look a dream, with your slender frame, and fit in with the chicks in the first pic perfectly! XXXXXX
