What Is A Cemefairy?


I, with a photog friend and her 4yr old, were scouting a cemetery a few years ago.

Possessing the playful imagination that most young girls are ingrained with (along with their love of pink and all things fluffy) I had a pre-school pixie to help us. As The Helper Ballerina goes, she was head to toe in the latest dance fashions.

Pink.
Fluffy.
Ballerina-ey.

Despite the slightly morbid nature of the outing, she skipped about, her presence juxtapose against the occasional weathered or garish headstone. Her tutu netting was brightly back lit, filtering the afternoon sun. The scene brought to mind a tiny cemetery fairy flitting about the headstones and suddenly my moniker was born:

"The Cemefairy".
