What if Annabelle Cane was interested in period accurate fashion, specifically 1800s-1900s ? What if Annabelle Cane had lots of spider jewellery. What then. This is a way I get to incorporate three of my biggest interests at the moment (Spiders, historical fashion, and TMA) and also still meet my project brief.

Hey there! As promised (and threatened...) I've came right back to torment you with my dubious art!

With sweet Margo up there ^, flavor: day-to-day attire. I kind of like how it turned out, although the hair doesn't convince me much.

I would have tried to color it, but I've already learnt in the past, to my own expense, that it isn't really my forte. The colors I would associate with Margo though are the most blinding white only to be stained with sweetest shades of blood red.

Her dress, especially the frills on it were inspired from the ballerinas of the time - more specifically Vera Fokina, in 'Le Carneval', Stockholm 1914:

I've always loved ballet, and the opera as well- the grace, the wispiness and the elegance.  Traits connecting to cats and the Sphynx species in partcular, given the daintiness of its features, so sleek and svelte - hence my association of it all with Margo herself.

I think she would enjoy the likes of Turandot, 1924 - or Madame Butterfly, 1904, both from Puccini. Love, tragedy, intrigues, Oriental lore: there's for all tastes to enjoy, really.

But now I'm running on a tangent again, am I not?

These were Margo and some trivia I hope entinced your curiosity about her character, this was GentleLass on speaker, and you'll be hearing of us - me, Margo, and Mordecai Heller - again much to your dismay!

Stay tuned. Over, and out!

Hear me out these images of Vera Fokina in ‘Le Carnaval’ are literally my entire inspiration for Laughing Jill right now and it just makes sense.
