Martha and Chiggy

I absolutely love these photographs of Martha with her first cat, Chiggy, who was adopted from a shelter. I love the intimacy they convey, the vulnerability and the softness of the light. It's my guess that the photographer was likely Andy Stewart or her father, both of whom were wonderful amateur photographers. Martha looks to be in her late teens.

I know that Martha has become something of an iconic blonde, but I like her with dark hair very much. I've seen some stunning photos of her as a brunette during her modeling days.

I vaguely recall Martha stating that the photographer was her father. If I'm right, the pictures date back to her Nutley days (late 40's or 50's). Nevertheless, they are lovely photographs.

Martha's hair is naturally a shade of light auburn. She colours it blonde. Alexis's hair is naturally dark also.
