Yup, that's her: the lead singer of The Noisettes. I'm not sure if it's her hair, her voice, her clothes, her amazing skin, her energy on stage or just her attitude, but she just oozes coolness. The perfect combination of rock'n'roll, punk, 80's and soul...retro meets futuristic. Or "Afro-centric with an edge of couture" as she describes her style. Whatever it is, I like it.

While I was flickering through my book of Contemporary Illustrators, I came across this ridiculously talented illustrator from Helsinki - Laura Laine. I particularly love the texture of the hair, the exaggerated poses and their doodle-like quality. These is what princesses look like in my dreams.
