Description
Kassandra Leigh Purcell -Model & Photographer.[EDIT]-I have two more in the sequential series of this one on my myspace [link] If enough people actually Comment on it ill Post it over Here 2 ^____^
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So i got this wig the other day for I-CON ( iconsf.org) this coming weekend and thought id need to try it out after i sewed all these pearls and crud into it. Anddd since its the season for Bunny shaped Chocolates
I did it around the idea of Speckled Easter Eggs--The prettiest in my opinion!^_^
The dye on my hands is actualy craft pigment(same stuff as i use for eyeshadow) mixed with watered down lotion.

Doesn't matter how many times I see this photo or read the description, it's all so pretty.
And your hands look beautiful, the fact that they are stained really does it.

Oh my, you look so perfect! The colours are gorgeous, the pink keeps attracting me (literally, my head keeps getting nearer the screen!! ) You have a great expression, just like a doll, there's a lot of emotion in what seems to be emotionless

New to DA, but was looking for some art to fill my empty walls. I had tagged an earlier photo of yours to purchase at a later date, solely because of the simplistic beauty it possessed. I came back a few weeks later to purchase that portrait, and found this one as well.
You have a rare gift, and I'm happy to see you're using it so successfully! Keep up the great work!

I think it's really cool how you can do such simple things in your photos, that evoke tons of different reactions. Like I can see sultry, classy, sexy, innocent, and haunting being some of the many words that could be applied to this piece.
You definitely have versatility on your side.

I thought it was a painting or something, in the thumbnail o.O' Even full viewed, it kinda has an spectral tone in it. You look a great character, so soft yet with that dark sound in your hands and eyes...
The word "sacrifice" came to my mind.

You're so pretty! You look like a doll too.
At first when I saw this I thought it was a painting until I saw the Photography label underneath it.

That's gorgeous! I love the title too, it's so very true. Where did you get the wig by the way??
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is gorgeous, but I really think you should post the other two on your myspace on DA as well. I say so because they seem to make the title fit with the pieces so much better. All in all, they're lovely photos and a great concept, but I really think all the shots need to be shown to complete it. Keep up the beautiful work!

Then again, if I may, Kayleigh, it seems both sexes go through that. Sacrificing a lot for superficial beauty.
Though for Men I think it's called "The Adonis Complex".

Ive always loved that sweet face of yours, it makes me wanna hug my PC cause i cant hug you

This is one of your rare photographs where your beauty comes across as approaching inhuman; from the cupid bow lips to your vacant stare, you look utterly lifeless, as if simply awaiting a creator to activate you, with no life or energy of your own, yet flawlessly made, awaiting activation.
Nicely done.
