another research idea ...

 classic renaissance oil painting of sirens and ulysses recently restored for manchester art gallery so exhibition is up now . The painting caused controversiy in the 18th century
...a disgusting combination of voluptuousness and loathsome putridity - glowing in colour and wonderful in execution, but conceived in the worst possible taste... spectator in 1837 . first image of sultry women hypnotizing men ....

siren images from german vogue .... sultry black and white

agent provactor siren campaign . crimped hair pale .

  2. yea I loved these images , you can see the inspiration from the painting in the images nudity and suductive poses, the story is the sirens led the sails to their death with there angelic singing . so dark , sexy . pale skin .obviously the one with lots of people would be difficult but it could be an interesting idea and sort of fits into the main idea of kate and will . her appearence is very conservative so would be interesting to experiment with her image .
