MEMORY LANE - THE BIKINI BLONDE

A couple of years after I first discovered Sasha dolls in 1972 I created a series of black and white photographs of the dolls for a small gallery show.
This Sasha, dressed in a bikini outfit created by one of the "dollsandreams" home designers, was a favorite model of mine. In the black and white photo I was inspired by the 1930s Hollywood glamour photos by George Hurrell who became famous for his single point of light, deep shadowed images of Garbo and Crawford.

With all this snow around I thought it might be fun to think about our friends "down under" who are enjoying warmer, sunny weather.
