I wish I could say that this is an original idea but, I cannot. Hanging high above the cash registers in a Club Monaco clothing store in NYC is a portrait of a model with a big polka dotted bow tie blowing a bubble. I was very excited when this challenge was announced as I have always wanted to emulate that image.

A few nit pickings by me:

I tied the bow tie myself but wish I had found a much bigger bow tie to enhance the polka dots. This one is a red with blue polka dots but thank god for B&W.

The bubble was way too small for my liking. I also tried to clone out the white bubble spot to the left of the bubble in between my lips as well as you can see through the bubble.

I was debating whether or not to shave for the shot..

Glasses should be higher on my nose.
Should have cleaned the jacket as well.

Seeing how I pretty much set up and shot my this myself, this was the best I could come up with and I damn well love it.
