The adventures of Brandy part 1.

This started off not about Brandy, but with a photoshoot concept for my friends clothing line 'Oompf'. From there it has grown in to a long chronical, far greater than the original concept. I am writing this in heignsight as this has developed over a few months and i have only just started this blog. I feel it such a chronical it has to be recorded.
My friend designs exquisite hand block printed garments for the foriegn market, australia and america. Her label is called 'Oompf', I might as well plug it. She wants to re-launch it into the western world with a fun and funky feel and so enlisted my help knowing i have an artistic inclination. Now these garments are not the run of the mill block printed rubbish that you find in Jaipur, they have much better styling and tailoring.
The concept that immediately sprung to mind, seeing as my friend is quite a forthright individual, was something completely off the wall that reflected her personality and desgn flair. I was knocking around with different ideas and Brandy was one of them that seemed to stick. She wasnt Brandy then, but since then it was Brandy that i discovered, well you could say she found me. The idea was to have a pretty young girl wearing 'Oompf' clothing in various situations with a blow up sex doll, no no no tastefully done of course. This is something never really seen in India, so it would definately be fun. There were various concepts for example; picture old ware house, mound of earth with a spade next to it as if been dug up as a shallow grave, blow up doll on her knees, a beautiful girl standing over her with a gun about to execute the doll. The tag line could read soemthing like this; 'have you lost the Oompf in your se life?'. Basic but sweet.
The next task was to find a sex doll......
