Happy @b-and-w-holiday-gift-exchange, @apparitionism! I agree with 100% with everything you said in your reply prompt, - what a headf*ck it is thumbing through B&W's Tumblr golden years and scrubbing through the show. I hope what I came up with here satisfies at least a fraction of that desire to go back in time!
Imagine these two living together in the 1940s (somehow, somewhere? And they were roommates....) - these are the kind of portraits they might have in their home. Myka's is in a contemporary 40s portrait style while HG prefers something a more nostalgic (fitting for her, I thought?). I just love how how happy they seem!
