Photos: Mad hatter in Batavia Cemetery

By Howard B. Owens

While at the Batavia Cemetery today, I met three young women doing a photo shoot.  

The group leader was Jessica Wheeler (second picture, white shirt), whose degree in journalism hasn't led to a job -- not uncommon these days -- so she's going to beauty school. She's entering a national contest in hairstyling and the rules stipulate a character from a movie be used, so she decided on a female Madhatter from "Alice in Wonderland."

Wheeler is attending Salon Professional Academy in Buffalo.

The Madhatter is played by Lacey Christner, a recent grad of GCC who will be attending UB as a photography major.

The photographer is Danielle Schaffer, a Batavia resident.

Johnny Depp creates his characters' look after reading the script and those talented folks in Hollywood bring his ideas to life. He's great!

I think the three of these ladies have some real talent. Since I an an expert (lol) I would suggest fixing that little split in the long gloves, ditch the Hat, go ALL black and white. How they say "Goth" ? Next time around do an Edward Scissor hands type theme. Great job and Good Luck ;)
