WHO'S THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL?

                       

 VERTIGO COMICS' 'FABLES' IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS TO READ. 'FABLES' TELLS THE STORIES OF FAMOUS CHARACTERS FROM LITERATURE EXILED TO OUR MODERN WORLD. EACH ISSUE HAS MORE ODD TWISTS AND TURNS THEN THE FAIRY TALES THEY WERE ORIGINALLY BASED ON.  THE CHARACTER WITH THE MOST COMPLEX STORY IS DE-FACTO LEADER OF THE CREW, SNOW WHITE. 

I WAS INSPIRED TO DO A PAPER DOLL SET OF SOME OF SNOW'S IMPORTANT LOOKS FROM THE COMIC. WE HAVE SNOW'S CLASSIC PRINCESS LOOK. Miss WHITE IN HER BUSINESS SUIT, SNOW AS SHE APPEARED IN THE '1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL' STORY,  HER SAFARI SUIT AND FINALLY MOMMY SNOW WITH HER SIX WOLF CUB KIDS. THE MAIN DOLL SHOWS SNOW AT HER PIN-UP BEST. 

NOW, PRINT, CUT OUT THE DOLLS (INCLUDING THEIR FACE HOLES!) HAVE FUN WHILE YOU WAIT FOR PRINCE CHARMING TO SHOW UP.

BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK

FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE FILLED WITH SO MANY CHOICES, FASHION CAN BE VERY LIMITING. IF THEY TELL YOU FLORAL PRINTS AND FLOPPY HATS ARE WHAT'S IN THIS SEASON, THEN THAT'S WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO BUY, AND WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE? 

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BASIC BLACK IS THE GO-TO TREND FOR FASHIONISTA'S. SO I PRESENT THE BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK FASHION COLORING PAGE! JUST DON'T GET TOO OVERWHELMED TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT COLORS TO USE. BUST OUT YOUR BLACK SHARPIE'S AND GET CREATIVE, KIND'A . . . SORT'A . . . JUST TRY TO THINK TOO FAR OUTTA THE BOX.
