Sedira Ignis: Nemean the Royal

"THE LEON NEMEIOS (or Nemean lion) was a large lion, whose hide was impervious to weapons, which plagued the district of Nemea in the Argolis. King Eurystheus commanded Herakles to destroy the beast as the first of his twelve Labours. The hero cornered the lion in its cave and seizing it by the neck wrestled it to death. He then skinned its hide to make a lion-skin cape, one of his most distinctive attributes. Hera afterwards placed the lion amongst the stars as the constellation Leo."

The second series of my Zodiac theme outfits/costumes. By far my favorite piece in the collection. After looking at Betsey Johnson's Fall line and now the company of the late Alexander Mc Queen the furry hood just poped into my head. The rest of the piece I have been dying to make for over a year now.

Garment: Faux Mongolian fur hood/scarf pair with a deep-v jersey shirt and goldenrod balloon shorts.
