Description
The light of love, the purity of grace,
The mind, the music breathing from her face,
The heart whose softness harmonized the whole ...
~ Lord Byron [fr.The Bride of Abydos]
* ----------------------- *
Angora hair comes from a very fluffy rabbit called an angora rabbit. Angora use became popular during the Second World War. It replaced cashmere. Being soft and fuzzy, they were called Fluffies.
It was during the late 1930's that Lana Turner made the sweater a popular fashion item, and the war made the angora sweater a fashion statement.
Petals soft as angora ... captured in a natural light , uncropped, unedited : This rose is making a fashion statement ... nature in all its Natural splendour .. :))
