My new job takes me to interesting places - like the Department of Social Developement buildings outside of Newcastle. I saw this lady in her lovley dress at the beginning of the morning session and she was still waiting to be seen later in the afternoon when we took a break. I asked her if I could photograph her dress and when she said yes I rushed back to the meetig venue to get my camera. Gladys was quite shy ( and waiting in a governemtn building, so a bit bewildered) so we could not get too much conversation going.
She did ask if I wanted the little elf on her lap in the picture or not, and I was very happy to have her along.
When I have my thoughts together about the fake shwe shwe materials that are currently all over - especialy in little dusty towns I will post a long monologue on that.
But for now her is a very pretty lady, still composed and pretty after waiting all day for services in a pretty shwe shwe dress.
I think my favourite part of the outfit is the headwrap (?) that matches her dress.
