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!

I'm running around doing appointments today so here's a random collection of pictures I like.

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
