Black & White Sunday: Une Nana Très Sexy
Today, I give you the sexiest in my porcelain doll collection, a doll made after the prostitute character in Emile Zola’s novels, famous Nana.
If you have any black and white photos you wish me to check out and link to my Black & White Sunday, please leave me a link. You can also grab the widget:

Your B&W photos are always so good… not being a big fan of B&W I don’t often capture in it or convert to it… probably as with my nature photos the colour tends to be quite important… but I do love seeing photos of those that know how to take them and how to process them… you are damn good at it…

Yeah my first thought was that this was the evil lady in “The Three Musketeers” – Lady de Winter, who was cheating the fourth musketeer D’Artagnan… 🙂 🙂 🙂

Hearing the words “porcelain doll”, there is always a touch of fragility in my imagination, yet this one seems to be a tough cookie…
