Best Showgirl Headdress Ever

Yellow Headdress by Ralph Roberts
and Jay Templeton 2008
I came across this cropped cut out image of an early cooperative effort between Jay and I.  The show was Rocky Horror and this was what Frankfurter sported for the floor show near the end.  It is hard to see in the image but along with the scale, color, and over all to-much-i-ness still if you could see the base clearly it would show may contribution which was an intricate network of dangling, strung and fixed beads, stones, and anything I could find that dripped or sparkled, encrusted with yellow gold glitz according to an organic yet intentional and geometric design.  Sort of a Faberge egg for the head if it where to then burst apart sprouting feathers.
