Here's the link: http://www.lucylawlessfanclub.com/shop/catsuit.html And here's my gobsmacked reaction. I love some of these photos of Lucy communing with that egg chair. (I had to go googling all over the damn place to find what that chair was called. I recognized it as a piece of modern art/furniture that I remember created a flurry when it first appeared. I checked out "swoop chair", "sling chair", "barrel chair", "ball chair" and finally found a picture of it, with the designation, "Egg chair" on a page with a ball chair. The internet is indeed a wondrous place.) What I really like about these shots of Sharon's is how Lucy plays with the form of the chair and incorporates it as part of the gestalt of her pose. I just love how she places her body in the chair-that chair gives her the freedom to position her body in a way that just wouldn't be possible on say a straight back chair or a sofa. I really like all of the photos where Lucy makes her body into an incline. She creates diagonals with her arms and her endlessly long legs-like in photo six (double intersecting diagonals!). I love the look on Lucy's face in that one. The pose is echoed in picture three in a simpler form, where she creates a single diagonal line from her shoulder to her toe that bisects the picture. (And in this one she's perched on a metal scoop chair as a prop.) Diagonals are just classic components of visual compositions because they appeal to us, even if only subliminally. People respond appreciatively to them in paintings and in films even when they don't articulate that they've noticed them. I like pictures 7 and 9 a lot too. There's such an engaged look on Lucy's face in 7-like she's in the middle of an absolutely intriguing and absorbing conversation. In 8, it looks like she might be thinking about the conversation after it's over. 9 has a very "artsy" look to it. It's like an old-fashioned sculpture of some abstract honorable concept. Like, "(Greek or Roman name here) reaching for the Stars". Or for "Knowledge". Or God. But 10 may be my favorite. She's like a chrysalis just after breaking out of her shell. Wet and shiny and in a state of satisfied peaceful exhaustion. Suspended between two worlds after the huge effort of transition. Relaxing for a bit before stepping into her new life. Anyway, IF I bought pictures which I don't, I'd have a hard time choosing among these. I might have to "Buy 'em all!" So good thing I don't.
