I've just come across some lovely long hair in pictures over the last couple days, and thought I'd share them all in one place. Because of the forum rules, they'll just be links, but I enjoyed them!
So this photo (http://img41.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-1712/loc235/57493_tanya_v453_122_235lo.jpg) by Mario Sorrenti was on the cover this month of one of my photography magazines. For whatever reason, this is the only one of it I can find on the internet, so it's not a great scanning. I thought it was funny, I was so distracted by the lovely hair in such a dynamic pose, that it was only on my second look of the picture did I realize she was wearing a sink! (You know you're a long hair when.. :laugh: ) [ETA: Took a picture of my magazine cover, as there may be issues with the first link? [here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/young_artist/P9041999sm_zps62b24d78.jpg)]]
While I was looking for that, I found another one (http://anthonysimonetti425.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/8.jpg) by him in a similar pose, that was also pretty cool.
And in quite another realm, several months back physicschick recommended to me The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. I finally read it, and the first result when I was looking for the sequel, The Princess and Curdie, was illustrated by James Allen, and he draws one of the characters with such lovely long hair. (I found these online here (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36612/36612-h/36612-h.htm).)
You can see this a bit in this picture (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36612/36612-h/images/gs01.jpg), and especially this one (http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36612/36612-h/images/gs03.jpg). [ETA2: And the more I look at that second image, the more I like it, so I found a bigger version (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/The_Princess_and_Curdie_%E2%80%94_plate_page_30.pn g), too.]
[ETA3: And just thought I'd add in the written description for the character, which I thought was quite a lovely mental image. "[She] was dressed in the loveliest pale-blue velvet, over which her hair, no longer white, but of a rich gold color, streamed like a cataract, here falling in dull gathered heaps, there rushing away in smooth shining falls. And even as she looked, the hair seemed pouring down from her head, and vanishing in a golden mist ere it reached the floor. It flowed from under the edge of a circle of shining silver, set with alternated pearls and opals."]
Anyway, just thought I'd share! :flower:
