About Me:
I'm a bit shy at first then when I get to know people a little more I tend to chat more.
I spend a great deal of time working on crafts or costumes. I also enjoy photographing gardens. This is where my love for fairies began. I love to travel and go crazy for old buildings. I would very much like to photograph Italy some day. My favorite time of year is Spring and Fall. The smell of moss reminds me of fairies. I try to use it as often as possible when I'm making a costume. To see more of my work please visit me at www.ALexandriaLaNier.net My favorite artist is Thomas Barbey. visit him at www.ThomasBarbey.com
Music:
Depends on my mood.
I like everything. But if I had to choose a song right now it would be something that would make me want to get up and dance from Shakira.
Movies:
I'm a huge fan of classic movies.
Gone With the Wind, Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's. I like movies with ladies in gowns and if they can't be in a gown they should at least look amazing in a suit. Comedy: Bob Hope, Abbott & Costello, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jack Black, Drew Barrymore, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and so many more. I grew up in the 80's so pretty much anything from that generation is AMAZING!!! My favorite character actor is Johnny Depp, I first fell in love with him in Benny & Joon. Leonardo DiCaprio is my all time favorite actor. I love his movies, I just hate when he dies in them. I can't tell you how many times he's broken my heart. Of course my all time favorite movies are big budget movies that go all out on set design and COSTUME. Star Wars is number one. Marie Antoinette makes me want to put on a ball gown and sit around eating chocolates and petite petifores for absolutely no reason at all. I'm a girl through and through but still love movies like Gladiator or 300. Who doesn't like hot muscular men all sweaty with huge gorgeous muscles in tiny costumes? I especially love movies during the holidays like Harry Potter and Hocus Pocus at Halloween. My favorite Disney Movie is a toss between Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. I can't leave out Romance or anything with a Asian theme. (Like Water for Chocolate and Geisha)I also love movies that take me to different parts of the world, as I'm completely fascinated by world culture.
TV:
I really don't watch t.v. that often.
No News unless I have to watch it, then I prefer Comedy Central news. I like my bad news given to me delicately or with humor. When I do watch t.v. I enjoy the Discovery Channel, The Travel Channel, Ninja Warrior on G4 with my son and the rest I just skip through until something looks good.
Books:
Fantasy, Romance and Mystery
Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter Anything from Candlewick Press I'm always looking for something good to read and not always fiction. My Favorite magazine is Vogue of course second would be ELLE because they do a lot of shoots outdoors and in gardens.
Likes:
Creative people, the sound of children laughing,fishing,swimming,blue skies,
sunshine, rainbows, butterflies, hills full of green grass, lavender, roses, irises,owls, my favorite tree is the Weeping Willow, the sound of waves crashing on the shore, palm trees, sand dunes and the country.
Dislikes:
People that are mean to children or animals.
Anything depressing or too sad. I just can't stomach it. People that can't be trusted and people that hurt other people. So basically war is OUT. Liars, Jealousy and Pollution
Hobbies:
Crafting, photography, dress making, people watching and shopping for that perfect outfit.
Vices:
Ice cream and Cake
Virtues:
Confidence
Quick thinker friendly multi tasked When I say I'm going to do something I do it. If I can't, then I will tell you why I chose not to. I always trust my instincts.
Heroes:
Superman, James Bond and my husband.
Batman is pretty cute too.

Alice in Wonderland ~ My Latest Project

I apologize for being absent. I've been working very hard on my latest project, Alice In Wonderland. I chose this project because it's perfect for sharpening my Photoshop skills. I'm still working with fairies. I have a new Green Fairy named Eden. I will be shooting her this November and December. Please know that even when I am busy, I always think of you and look forward to checking in on your projects as well. May wings of flight guide your dreams. Alexandria Lanier Tags:

I've been up to all kinds of mischief these days and had to share my latest little creation. Fairy Child is a piece inspired by Amy Brown. It's a funny thing, when I looked at the original image it just screamed "Amy Brown"! The rest just fell into place. Fairy Magic! I'm still hanging out on flickr most of the time, so feel free to visit me there if you get a chance. Hugs!!! Alexandria LaNier

Hi Lovely Lady! |

Hi Alexandria...always good to hear from you! |

Alex, I have a question. Have you let your 8 year old see the very last film made of Star Wars? When Anikin actually becomes Darth Vadar? Now I don't have a problem with violence. My boys have seen Jurasic Park movies,Peal Harbor, Titanic, Transformers, although maybe I should have seen Iron Man before I let them see it to explain the terrorist sences better. We had never allowed them to view any of the documentaries of 9/11 until now, but only my 9 ear old and only after thoughtful explainations. My problem with The last movie is Anikin truning to the dark side and killing all the jedi, the children, the ending fight with his loving master and all that. Its such a dark and depressing movie, the same with Spiderman 3 and the New Batman which they haven't seen either. What do you think? |

Thank you so much for your kind words! And I love the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events as well! Isabella |

I took me some time to go through all her pictures and tutorials....Wow, she is really good. Her work is beautiful. She has an interesting style and way of working. Her finished pieces have even more of a "painterly" look to them than mine! It's hard to tell whats photo and what's not sometimes. |

Oh yes, I would definitely love to see what some other artists have done with costumes in PS. Send me their names when you get a chance. Susan Schroder |

Thanks for the comment on The Ghost and the Fairy. I have really begun to enjoy creating (or altering) costumes right in PS, which is what I did in that picture. I can use materials that I would not be able to in "real life"!! Susan Schroder |

Sorry... I'm spending more time absorbing the delish background. Light and aerie, from the leaves & butterflies to the Atlas moth. From the lightly woven frame gracing their presence, to an echoing assemblage of faery dust shaping the pattern of freshly-breathed wings.
TommyI just love the direction your creativity is taking you with the addition of your newer skills!
Love it Xan-Xan!
(Oh and yes... she's bellissima too!)
