Celebrating all things radiant in RED – a photographic homage to Louboutin
It was only yesterday that I was extolling the virtues of all things red. That vibrant, rich colour, instantly attractive to the human eye, seducer of souls, seller of sex, and now the renowned glossy seller of stilettos in the form of Louboutin’s red-soled masterpieces. And it is in homage to that said innovative shoe-maker-to-the-chic that I have taken inspiration from the rosiest, most ravishing reds I could find, scanning through my photos and picking out some of my favourite photos which all have that rich, vibrant colour in common. Welcome to my world of Red…

Great pictures..
Thanks!!
my favorite color…..I am lacking in creativity so I am totally amazed at how you can take a simple concept such as a color and turn it into a beautiful blog!
So nice of you thank you!!
What a lovely place you have here! The red theme is delicious–hope you’ll do other colors.
Strangely enough, not five minutes ago I tossed off my first post in quite a while, and your featured thumbnail caught my eye, so I came over. How startling I found your observations on the alien quality of flowers, since I’d just made a related comment about insects. Love when that happens.
