Pealescant Rose

Since I was a kid I’ve had this odd obsession with industrial areas, my parents being academics (both in medicine… ew) the closest I ever came to a mechanic was drive through a back street while lost, I think I’ve always admired the grungy griminess of these places – all the bright colours with splashes of dirt all over them. These places always seemed very taboo during my childhood of privet schools, piano lesions and horse riding.

So, while scouting for interesting places I jumped at the idea of an industrial area, ~Valentich really wanted something with crates while I really wanted something with dumpsters – sorry mum and dad. A few weeks earlier we made a friend at Anglicare's clothing donations, she was able to find a (very horrible) cream formal dress – it was sleeveless, puffy, with cream and brown stripes, and of course we just had to use it, although it did smell horrible and we ended up dumping it as soon as the shoot was over.

~Valentich actually made the purple corset, he’s amazingly talented in many respects, although it was his first try and the boning was really bad quality (really bad quality) the outfit (as bizarre as it was) came out really well.

I stole the title from a poem my boyfriend (~beroul) wrote me a few weeks into dating. I thought the title went well with the whole industrial/crates/formal wear of the picture, although the poem itself (of the same title) has absolutely nothing to do with the aspects of this picture... Maybe I took a little too much artistic license!
