The cave girl

Fresh from painting an elegant peacock dress, this was a move to the opposite end of the spectrum - both in fashion and era! Minimalist fashion?

Props? Easy-peasy this time - just a spear.
But - where to find a suitable shaft for it? In the front garden - one of my wife's prized shrubs. (I asked first though!)

And where to shoot it? Needed a jungle? Well - right outside our window - there was a near jungle of ferns, so that was a likely start point. (Keeping the gas heater out of the shot was Bill's problem - not mine.)

.. and down the back - more jungle.
Our Tango studio (Sidewalk Tango, Swan Street, Richmond), had a Hawaiian Night for New Year's Eve - complete with flaming torches as props. Very handy things to borrow when there are cave-girls to be painted! (Thanks, David.)

Then it was back into the studio to add a little of what is IN in the way of cave-girl makeup.

Just to prove that cave-girls actually have a sense of humour - and don't look fierce ALL the time, here is Jasmine laughing at the rest of this dedicated team.
