Camellia tsukesage
My camellia tsukesage arrived in the mail yesterday morning *squee!* ^^ It was listed as 167cm long (I'm about 167.5cm), but it's actually shorter than Ryujiro mentioned (more like 163-164cm). It still fits fine, so I'm satisfied.
I don't really have any winter motif obi; the closest I could make do with was my ivory sumi-e nagoya obi. While I was rummaging through my kitsuke accessories, I found my white han juban that I bought a few years ago, along with my 2-piece hadajuban. Anywho, I wore my subdued red obiage with a matching obijime (it gradates to a soft green around the middle). No tabi, though, since I wasn't intending on taking full-body shots.
Here's the original Ryu-japan pic of the tsukesage

Another pose with my daito.
*Le sigh~*
Back view. Sorry the mususbi looks a bit wonky ^_^;
My fave pic out of the bunch ^^
I'm quite satisfied about the lighting in the pics. Along with the cheap, shoddy clamp lamps I used, I also used my ring light that fits over the slr lens, which disperses the light more evenly, causing the skin to glow. It also gives that neat ring of light over the irises if one were to look straight on at the lens.
