Looked at the other “alternative” limbs. They are astonishing! Works of art!

Viktoria Modesta is the girl from the Olympics with the Ice Queen leg/outfit. I didn’t read the article, so maybe it said in there.
Anyway, she is a fabulous woman, and there are people who love her because she is an amputee-and is also a fetish model. But she is a singer and designer as well.

Imagine having to decide on what design to put on a prosthetic limb. It takes me half an hour to select the right coloured $2 umbrella when its raining.
That woman looks gorgeous.

What a great post, not just in terms of hearing about your original and then changed perspective, but in the link you provided. Reading the profiles of the women photographed it rang out really strongly that having something made for them, and that was special and expressive, helped give them a feeling of worth and specialness that the amputation had taken from them. I hadn’t heard about this woman or her wonderful bespoke service, despite every other aspect of the Olympic Ceremony (did you see the ‘Ice Queen’ leg?) being banged on about endlessly here. x

Andra – I’m sure he could get a saxophone leg. That would be awesome.

Lynn – That was the home page for the whole project but I’ve changed it to the floral leg. You can click around to look at other designs, too.

That’s a beautiful image. I followed the link, but it took me to a survey for amputees, not the public face of the project.

Thank you, as always, for sharing beauty, pain, loss, and sass.

My Chinaman gets his new foot today and we are looking forward to it quite gleefully.
I’m not sure this lady’s leg would suit him but perhaps one shaped a bit like a saxophone would do.
I’ll keep you informed.
