Dress Up and Play

British Vogue shoot in Mumbai

Below is a shoot from September British Vogue shot in India. The best part is the Art Direction and the 'extras' in the background.

Most of the turbans I've seen in real life are flat wraped against the head, but these ones below have a twist in them, which makes me wonder how many different techniques there are to wrap a turban and if they have names. Anybody know? How great is the guy's facial hair on the left?

I'm in love with this pink cart with the flowers on it...:

....and these purple doors...:

...and this guy's flower turban...:

and a whole lotta pompoms.:

More Armor... sort of

Not much newsworthy stuff going on and I'm in the middle of a busy swirl... so no film studies just yet. But I did find these great pictures of the bear from The Golden Compass. This was from some sort of exhibit on film, possibly also comics, I'm not sure. But the armor is fantastic! I really can't figure out the material and if it's actually hard. I would think it would have to be malleable in order to do any sort of animation or movement with the bear (not this bear of course, but whatever sort of bear they made it for.) It's a mystery. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for the movie

And here is a candid shot of one of Nicole Kidman's coat in the same film:
