ideas
in
order
put
our
own
stamp
on
this
wild
Tea
Party.”
Mandy
was
able
to
design
and
make
some
amazing
props,
from
large
playing
cards,
to
other
fun
props
such
as
“drink
me”
labels,
more
card
creaJons,
and
provided
the
ever
so
needed
tea
set,
Angela
said.
Aler
building
a
Lost
Wonderland
group
Facebook
page,
we
posted
the
first
concept
and
listed
characters
that
we
felt
would
be
needed
for
our
unique
Tea
Party
shoot,
she
said.
“Models
were
then
able
to
comment
on
who
they
would
be
most
interested
in
portraying,”
she
sadi,
adding
that
models
were
selected
on
a
first
come,
first
serve
basis,
and
also
weighted
on
whether
they
would
fit
the
idea
and
concept
of
the
character.
“We
wanted
perfecJon,
so

even
though
it
was
first
come,
first
serve,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
model
portraying
each
character
had
the
same
idea
or
vision
as
we
planned,”
she
added.
“As
you
know,
different
models
have
different
ideas
on
how
they
wanted
their
character
portrayed,
so
we
did
have
to
do
some
minor
type
casJng.
We
didn’t
want
someone
looking
for
a
more
cutesie/cliche
Alice
or
white
rabbit,
for
example,
looking
out
of
place
in
our
twisted
vision.”
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
each
model
would
be
able
to
portray
their
character
easily
and
even
channel
their
parJcular
character
to
make
the
concept
seem
more
real
and
interesJng,
she
said.
One
final
challenge
was
a
locaJon
change
just
prior
to
the
shoot’s
scheduled
date,
Angela
said.
“We
had
originally
planned
on
using
the
home
studio
of
the
photographer,
where
a
few
of
us
models
had
shot
various
things
at
before,
but
we
then
came
across
an
unique
gem
during
a
monthly
group
shoot
at
the
unique
vintage
clothing
store,
GRVintage
Thril,”
Angela
said.
“Owner
Perian
Olson
had
discussed
her
love
ad
fascinaJon
of
The
Madd
Haaer
and
how
she’d
be
interested
in
hosJng
an
Alice
on
Wonderland
themed
shoot.”
With
Peri’s
love
for
anJques,
and
her
unique
store
that
offered
vintage
doors,
frames,
a
huge
checkerboard,
and
whimsical
lights
intertwined
among
branches,
we
decided
to
change
the
locaJon,
Angela
said.
“ I
s a w
t h e
g o r g e o u s
hardwood
floors,
anJque
tables
and
lamps…the
place
was
just
what
I
had
always
imagined
that
the
Madd
Haaer
himself
would
host
his
signature
tea
party
in,”
Angela
said.
