COMUS

~Greek God of Festivity, Revels, and Nocturnal Dalliances~

Finally able to post what my idea for photo themes for the year is. I'm absolutely in love with Greek Mythology so I figured what better way to show that than to do a year of modern takes on Greek Gods and Goddesses. And to start the year off right I figured we'd start with Comus, son of Dionysus. I know it's technically a few days after New Year's Eve, but I figured a god of parties would be a good one to start us off.

Not a ton is known about him really. He's said to be the son of Dionysus/Baccus and possibly Circe. Other than that all that he's really known for is being a god of excess and cup-bearer for his father.

I hope you all are excited about what the new year/decade has in store. I hope it really brings everyone lots of joy and in the spirit of Comus lots of fun times too. I know my New Year's Eve had quite a bit of drinking and fun, and I'm hoping that is a good sign for things to come.

For the look, I figured nothing says excess quite like gold, and as soon as I saw this dress I was in love. I almost didn't buy it cause I was on a limited budget, but I just kept going back to it through the day. Finally, I knew it was just the one for me, and I'm so glad. He's often depicted with a wreath of flowers, and I figured sunflowers would be a nice fun one to choose since it matches both the colors and just the fun warmth of a new year. And I just couldn't be happier with how this turned out in the end.

I'm gonna try my hardest to stick with this. I love the idea and have been brainstorming all sorts of fun looks for everyone. I've even got all of them picked out and scheduled just so I can't use not being able to pick one as an excuse. I hope everyone likes this idea as much as I do. Even if nobody ever checks them out I know I'm gonna have a great time with these.
