This is hilarious! Love that she is smoking that cigar. What a smartie she is for charging to have her photo taken lol. You should have taken photos of her trying to attack you - THAT would have been fun to see as well.

Beautiful colored portrait. I like the cigar.

Wonderful. Photographing people of eccentric appearance is irresistible, but so many photographers, even quite famous ones, seem to seize the opportunity to make exploitative or patronizing images. There's no hint of the 'subject-as-a-curiosity' here. No freak show. Instead it seems to be a moment when this fabulous lady and this photographer met for an instant on equal terms. Not as performer and witness. Not as freak and robber. Just equals. And that's where the immense charm of this portrait comes from; from the rare lack of guile on the part of either party. There's no 'loser' in this moment of engagement; just two winners. 10. And, I'm afraid, the curse of the dreaded Order of the Thumb:

What a character!!! A great individualist portrait. She sort of blends into the background because of her hair color..

That lady looks like a very interesting character...that cigar is almost bigger than her! :)

She looks like quite a character.

For such a colorful and unusual subject, she seems to get lost in the background.
