Erik Sandberg's PowderPuff Girls

All this talk about Downton Abbey: The Exhibition and its accompanying dressing-table paraphrenalia took me back to the one item I coveted most on my mother's bureau: her powderpuff.

When I could gain acess to her bedroom, I'd remove it from its round container and puff away, feeling much more glamourous than I looked when I'd done.

These portraits by Erik Sandberg look like I felt.
