The girls ranged from six to 16, and I had the familiar struggle of wondering if it would be ‘fair’ to take a picture. I decided to let them keep their moment, but I desperately hoped that the girls would appreciate having a parent who would understand why Alexander McQueen was so important, a parent who would teach them things like that.<br /><br />How lovely, how unexpected, to have the same exact desperate hope just a few days later.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13723151686937255367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207858370889035711.post-20514990936453341162010-02-13T06:58:47.210-08:002010-02-13T06:58:47.210-08:00Stunning.
