I had an opera moment last night, and indulged in some Maria Callas she was singing Carmen. I love that this massive voice comes out of such a small person, it reminds us all that appearance can be deceptive. Carmen was for it's time highly controversial especially given the main characters death on stage. She joined the other archetypal femme fatales - Salome, who danced the seven veils, Cleopatra who seduced Caesar and of course the ultimate femme fatale the black widow.
Hmmm widowed bellydancer ...........LOL Fortunately the closest I get is when I dress up as it were, so it is all in the costume not the personality. So given that I have the black widow and Salome covered I thought I might as well add Carmen to the mix, which amuses me.
Carmen is a beautiful dress by Stop Staring! People say red heads shouldn't wear red but it depends on the shade. This is a really nice deep rich red. I adore the neckline, the rouching on the sleeves and around the bust. The little pull at the cleavage gives it a bow effect which I like. The rouching down the sides of your hips give a little bit of extra stretch and looks really pretty. The black contrast kick pleats with button accents and the belt just make this a lovely dress, feminine dress.
Dress: Carmen by Stop Staring!
Shoes: Kurt Geiger
