Friday, May 4th, 20122012: Year of the Dragon Lady
Thursday, January 26th, 2012Yes, yes, I know “dragon lady” is a not-so-politically-correct term for an asian woman, mouthy woman or a rowdy woman… BUT, here at the store, we love a woman who spits fire (I mean, come on. This should be obvious right?)
So, in honor of the Chinese New Year (which started on Jan. 23rd, 2012), us Spitfire Girls want to say Happy Chinese New Year and give a nod to the Chinese zodiac, year of the dragon.
And with a Spitfire Girl twist, we invite you to celebrate…
2012: The Year of the Dragon Lady
Happy Chinese New Year All!
Here’s to spittin’ fire and taking names!

Forced Perspective Photography
Saturday, November 6th, 2010Forced perspective is one of many techniques of photography. It manipulates optical illusion to make an object appear closer, smaller, larger or farther away. Here at Spitfire Girl we think photography is a very enjoyable thing so here are some examples of forced perspective photography.
We hoped you enjoyed these photos!
