The Black Canary Uncaged

 Lludmila as the Snow Queen/Blizzard Dancer

Lludmila slipped this chilly number on for a little ballet dancing at Grizzy's Friday night.  She put on a frozen skin and some silver sparkly flats as well.   What a refreshing change from the heat outdoors!  Wearing this reminded Lludmila of all the great freebies she had gotten from The Black Canary in the Old Days ... when there was a lucky chair upstairs and models slowly rotissering in the front windows below.  Lludmila used to stop and chat with one of the models while waiting for her letter to come up.   This could take hours.  One of the models was very friendly, so she got a tip.  Well, the lucky chair is no more, but you can still get a freebie now and then - or you can buy one of the beautifully designed outfits - they aren't that expensive.  

More past freebies from The Black Canary (the top/Pious at right being a current freebie):

Winter coat and dress/Frigid Belle, cute flats/Rozen Beauty, a little crown/Divine Right ...

The Black Canary's style saunters coyly from Lolita through androgynous and on to period.  The textures are lovely and Lludmila can wander the shop gazing at them for hours, even without a lucky chair to keep her there.

 And more past freebies: white babydolls/ Dreamer, parasol with animation, 
shoes/Harajuku Streetwalker, and scarf; 

long winter coat/Winter in London with scarf, fancy pants outfit/Frill Life.

Being short is a bit of a disadvantage here - you can't see the bloomers that go with the white outfit on the left.  Posing in midair over a modeling disk is all that shows the long coat.  Lludmila in this outfit on an upper floor would be showing about a foot of hem through the ceiling below.  But it's just so beautiful!  And no one knows where her feet are in the frilly pants on the right.  

By now you may have noticed that there's a hint of monochrome about these outfits (excepting the scarf and shoes at left, which were Christmas gifts, hence the red and green motif) - and I can picture them in an Edward Gorey illustration.
