This is Charlotte and she loves to dance. The tango is her favourite but she's also quite partial to the fox trot, the charleston and the flamenco. She has been known to inspire the odd choreographer too and several dances have been thought up with her specifically in mind. You may recall "The Charlotte" which was incredibly popular last summer.
However, it is her dream to one day star in a Busby Berkeley musical...

...and I can't blame her for that!
Happy Monday all - and yes, the weather has settled down from yesterday's scorching 41.5 degrees Celsius (= 107 Fahrenheit) to a very reasonable 20 degrees Celsius (ahhhhh....much better!).
charlotte is so beautiful!
reminds me of our latest moodboard for the '10 xmas collection - it's all about showgirls : )

Beauteeeeeful!
Ostrich feathers are so fun aren't they?!
My mom & I are huge fans of the great musical productions from the past era! Perhaps that is why I use too much 'darrrling....' sometimes!
hehe~
Fabulous new week Darrrrling~

Oh la la! Charlotte! ;)

Charlotte is a stunning lady!

Sweet Charlotte! Maybe Charlotte would be kind enough to give me some dancing lessons because I'm a hopeless dancer. Not that it stops me. It would just be great if I didn't look like such a goose when attempting to dance. Hey that's great news that the weather cooled off. From 41.5 to 20? That's quite a drop. Enjoy it while it lasts Sam! By the time you find this comment it may be back in the 40s. Hope not! That's insane!

Oh, love Busby Berkley--and the print. Golddiggers of 1933 might be my favorite. Those violins!

I just love your work and was going to profile you as my etsy store of the week next week when I noticed your blog at my friend Lenore's and had to come over and say hi.
Charlotte is gorgeous.

I love her red dress!
And that top pic from the Busby Berkeley movie; I find that he's not as much of a household name as his genius would deserve.
