Frills and Fright

Wonder Woman is a film that tells the origin story of how the amazing super heroine came to be. The movie starts with Diana as a child/adolescent at her home on the isolated island utopia Themyscira, inhabited by all-female amazons, and her mother the queen.

I hope you all are having an amazing summer so far, and are enjoying my blog! :)
