Can we PLEASE talk honestly about this one? It's an Eman, but hey, everyone's entitled to a heinous mistake. I can't believe no one's said anything, even though it was in Dahlal's newsletter and everything.

I just edited what I originally wrote here, because after reading more of the thread I felt like a jerk. To me, it's not a successful costume in photos in the black and yellow because the contrast is just too strong and the feathers look a little artsy craftsy to me, but I am quite willing to believe that it would look different in person. I do think the embroidery on the skirt is gorgeous.

and from my original, unedited post:

I really, really like her other bird costumes though, the more pharaonic ones. I could never wear the color, but I love the design of the green Pharaonic Eagle on the front page.
