Winter Clothing Fetish?

Am I crazy or do people in general look better not just with the addition of piercing, but with the addition of winter clothing? (Vaguely related, but not by season: Wow, Those Eyes). Maybe I just really, really appreciate the art of accessorizing.

    Nope, it’s not just you. There’s something startlingly sexy about driving gloves and a scarf.

    Scarves= instant hotness, imo, especially wrapped around the face.

    I love winter hats, but I don’t have one I like. That one is really cute. And she has very lovely eyes.

    I live for winter.
    I cant wait till it gets cold enough to pull out my big winter coat (although, in southern California I probably wont get to use it much).

    Something about this girl reminds me of Liza Minelli …

    There is level correction in this photo of course, but no photoshopping in terms of actually changing anything.

    the colours are brilliant and her eyes are *amazing*!! Stunning really.

  27. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    BTW — I post the originals to BME always, without any Photoshopping. I think the original to this one is in the update I’m posting later tonight; you’ll see she’s quite beautiful with or without color correction!

  30. Allahkat Avatar

    She has awesome makeup too. I’m jealous. and are those what they call “bedroom eyes”? Like, that kinda sleepy/sexy thing? Is that what it’s called? Whatever it is, it looks snow-meltingly hot.

    She’s beautiful.
    I don’t think it looks THAT badly photoshopped, but, even if it is, she’s still gorgeous.

    Her eyes look like they are reflecting the background and a person. Probably whoever took her pic. No night flash redeye. Great and/or lucky photographer. With enough bleach, false eyelashes, makeup & outer clothes we can all be seXy. Wonder if anyone knows what she really looks like…

    I have taken pictures of her before – She is more beautiful than anything – Always dressed in super style, cozy style.

    Beautiful Eyes:

    She is even more beautiful than that in person: No photoshop needed.

    Actually those are my eyeballs, eyelashes, nose, face, and skin!
    Photoshop, It wasn’t ME, but I feel your pain, of dark sorrowz within.
    I dislike societies IDEAS of photo manipulation in fashion magazines however, photoshop to me is a great place to be, full of life…. life called… imaginary.
