I had a long awaited appointment today with a plastic surgeon to consult on a non urgent procedure that does not involve facial implants, toxin injections, fillers, age reversing or the tightening of anything. The waiting room is filled with clients and patients looking unapologetically around at one another trying to figure out who was there for what gravity defying maintenance. I wonder to myself what exactly the taut women think I'm having done.
I felt some pressure leaving the appointment because it was close to the end of the day and although I had the fat cat camera with me I had done little to find the perfect Tuesday look. (Thank you to Jen who was a well turned out and a great sport but was eliminated upon the discovery of the electric baseboard heater that snuck into the image). We detoured to Queen St. as a sure fire route to find some inspired fashionista and it was there that we screeched our brakes when I saw the beautiful Sora. She was enjoying an elegant cigarette break in the sunshine taking in the afternoon from under the cover of eyelash drowning fringe. She works at the super hip furniture and home accessories and lighting store Quasi Modo on Queen St. and was so gracious and comfortable when I asked her if I could snap her photo. Her great look is from right across the street at the sweet boutique pho pa. Thank you Sora for stealing a moment in the late afternoon warmth and for making my first few frames with a stranger so lovely.

Love this post Lisa.
With every word and every image popping out of your little black box of goodness and light, you are peeling back the layers and revealing a beauty that has barely seen the light of day.
Keep it up love, you are raising some eyebrows.
