Thumbs up Fashion for the Halfling! Hogue!

This project of mine really started about a month ago... My dear friend Megan Le Boogerbeans has always had this dream to be a hobbit. Well, this month for one day i took her on a sort of "becoming a hobbit" trip, just around Northwestern Washington (Where we live). Along the trip she wanted me to take pictures of her poseing in different select locations. In other words, I was her fashion designer/photographer for the whole day. As i was loading these pictures up onto my computer, i got an idea. We have Vogue, Why not make a Hobbit version? I really don't follow fashion at all, (I'm still in the 80's), But for this purpose, i decided to care alittle bit. I went out and did some research (Something i do best), and when i was done, Walla! I give you Hogue! So read and enjoy!





p.s. sorry if the quality is horrible, i had to resize both pictures dramatically...

Is it now fashionable for hobbit ladies to shave their foot hair?

And straightening irons have clearly reached that particular farthing or the shire - what a blessing they and "Frizz Ease" mus be for those fashion conscious but curly headed hobbit maids....

I wonder if in the next issue there will be a discussion of whether black could ever be the "new green and yellow" as staple wardrobe colours.....

Hmmm, foot hair is considered healthy and therefore attractive among hobbits, so for the fashion-conscious I'd suggest styling it like the hair on the head, maybe even dyeing it (with special herbal products, of course).

Oh and hobbits are all for bright colours, aren't they: red, yellow, bright green, that sort of thing...Anways, cool idea, The Ka! And the potographs look really good too.

Thumbs up A Thank You of Gigantic Porportions to all who replied!

Well, well, well! I'm surprised! I mean it! Usually, my post and or threads bore people to extreme measure but, this seems to be a turning point. Thank you to all who were intrigued to stumble upon my post and find the kindness to continue this thread. I really do apperciate little things like this, (no, I am not seeking simpathy, just thanking for kindness and honesty.) Anyway, as I stated before, thank you all.

Blessed Be,
THE Ka

P.S. : Megan also wishes to inform all who viewed these pictures and post a big thank you as well. She also said I should make another Hogue, but I will have to think abou this.

P.S.S. : If this happens, I would be more than happy to recieve donations of others living out their hobbit dreams...
