Artist Impression: Resurrecting Cleopatra

At long last! This is my impression of Cleopatra. I’d love some honest feedback but please do be nice.

I had wanted to use a model for Cleopatra but no one I knew was available for the shoot. I had hoped for better hair, a taller and more slender nose, larger eyes and a sharper, more angular face. You just have to make do with me.

I have always imagined her to be in her lavish robe of gold and face framed immaculately by her jet black hair, otherwise wearing little else. She was Macedonian but we all hail her as the Egyptian Queen. By her, a way to a man’s heart is to present oneself naked in chains, all rolled up within a carpet with keys to her freedom in her own puckered up mouth. Ooh I like!!!

If she was brought back today, this would be the look I would give her. Though a little excessive, it would still be a wearable, fashionably intense do for a bold woman of her stature. This time, Cleopatra should shake her hair up a bit for a change.

Her eyes will gleam of bronze liner and turquoise lids, with a crease accentuated by olive and a touch of slate for added depth, topped off with gold highlights.

Her cheekbones are lightly blushed by a bronzer. While her eyes serve to bewitch Caesar, her red lips ought to be bold enough to seduce him into a kiss.

I wonder what I should come up with next? Anything you’d like to see? With Twilight coming back and all the supernatural gorgeous beings about, vampires seem to be in now. Would you like that?
