Another Naked-Lady-Winning Performance

Scrolling back through the SNAP archives recently, I came upon these photos from my Oscars-inspired story earlier this year. I had another good giggle and decided to share the outtakes and extras with the world.

Give me a long gown, a naked lady statuette to grasp, and a post-production mike, I could (and did) ham it up for hours making tearful speeches and waving my arms about histrionically.

The gown in question – in true Oscar-style – has had only one outing to my cousin Naughty Amelia-Jane’s evening wedding a few years ago. I love its completely backless elegant 30s style. The heavy black satin falls beautifully, and the draped boat neckline folds over the shoulders prettily, giving a little glimpse of plum-coloured lining.

The rhinestone earrings and bracelet are vintage, and came from a long-gone Sydney boutique called, appropriately, The Jazz Garter. A vintage Russian squirrel fur completes the picture.

And that’s a wrap.
