The Wait - Part 2

We left Mercedes as she waited for her war hero to come home.  This much anticipated moment comes with an arrival but not the arrival she had been waiting for.  Join the story here by clicking the video link ---->  http://animoto.com/play/ShU5JvV9pusuhAUbe0c6kw

For this look we put her in a more glamour look, one that a woman of the 50's might carefully put together for such a special event.  She's wearing a red brocade pencil skirt with a giant bow tucked right under her tush with a slit up the middle.  She has a black strapless top and a leopard print stole that is wrapped over her shoulders with a matching hat.  The hat is made from the same leopard fury fabric and birdcage netting with ostrich feathers.

Accessories?  Shoes are 6" black zippered pumps by Chinese Laundry, she's wearing her beloved pearl necklace and a simple pair of clip on gold and diamond earrings.  In case you are wondering she's also wearing Bvlgari's signature perfume, Bvlgari.

The story ends maybe not as you expected but with her distraught laying on a park bench looking out at the sea. Her war hero is not dead but sends home a long letter and metal sharing stories of the war he's been fighting.  Her deep sadness is knowing her wait is not over.

The Wait with Mercy Clark

For this shoot with model, Mercy Clark, we were still inspired with retro looks and decided to put together two looks for the 50's.  I had a lot of fun making these pieces, including the hat used for Look 2.

This is a little swing jacket and a super-tight-butt-hugging pencil skirt with a cute Parisian theme.  We added a pink chiffon scarf and ankle strapped heels that zippered up the back.

Accessories you ask?  Pearls, pearls and pearls.  Do you realize that during many decades  (in comes and goes out of trend but always comes back) pearls were worn with almost everything.  Any excuse to wear their pearls besides the more you wear them the more lusterous they become.  Hmmm, is that really true or do I just remember always hearing that?  Anyways, the earrings are gold bows with large tear drop pearls and a long strand of pearls around her neck.  Those sunglasses are to die for, no?   I had to order them online, I'm surprised they aren't going through a full blown trend right now.  I love them.


The hair and makeup?  Our very talented HMUA, Donna Devlin gave Mercy a 50's cat eye with a little eyeshadow, gorgeous red lips in the perfect shade and a killer beehive secured snuggly with a swarosky barrette.  So, so cute.

The Wait. In our little story Mercedes is scheduled to meet with her fiance who is a war hero returning from Korea.  She spends an afternoon beside herself anticipating his return. The first video and this blog post are all Part 1.  The Wait.

Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2, find out what happens when something arrives, not what she expected.
