Posture!
Manolo says, It is cheating if you strap the book to your head.

I must try that for my mid-term.

I already tried that. Sadly, osmosis is not a reliable method of trasmitting information into the human brain, as evidenced by my poor grades that term.
Silly model!

Looks like a rip-off of a fabulous Julie Taymor puppet. I think it was for Juan Darién: A Carnival Mass. It was a puppet of a bespectacled school teacher whose parted-in-the-middle hair do was represented by and open book with the pages flopping as he lectured. It was truely fabulous, unlike this uninspired rip-off.

I like the dress, though.

I do feel sorry for the poor book that was sacrificed only to be transformed into a ridiculous hat!

Only the streetwalkers in Farmington have that kind of posture.

Or the townies.

My, what a novel idea… (my apologies to the Manolo, I simply could not resist) How much simpler things have become for the young peoples these days. Back in the stone age we were forced to balance the book in the flat and upright manner. Poor dear, it indeed shows in her posture.

I want that hat. Some day I’ll be drunk enough to wear it!
March 22nd, 2006 at 1:57 pm
I wonder what book it is.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:10 pm
Yikes. I’m surprised she could keep her neck from snapping long enough to take that shot.
PS. Osmosis is only for water crossing through a barrier. What this model is attempting is called diffusion. She is trying to spread the knowledge from the book to her brain by touching it to her head.

Perhaps the designer needs to take a page from the book of the Manolo’s fashion horrors instead of simply flinging the book at the model.
March 22nd, 2006 at 4:51 pm
khm…looks like someone is getting short on ideas (the designer I think).
March 22nd, 2006 at 6:00 pm
Her whole life was an open book.
March 22nd, 2006 at 6:52 pm
That book’s so good she can’t put it down!
March 22nd, 2006 at 8:21 pm
Would it be osmosis if the book was wet? :D
March 22nd, 2006 at 9:02 pm
It appears the thing holding it onto her head is a lampshade support from some poor lamp.
How clever!
March 22nd, 2006 at 10:44 pm
That was my hypothesis. ;)
March 25th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
I don’t know! If the water is the vessel for the knowledge–perhaps!…and if not, her head is gonna get sorta wet.
March 26th, 2006 at 12:32 am
Feh. A more forward thinking stylist would have put a Notebook powered by the Intel on her head.
And if it would be showing the .jpg of an actual hat, then it would be the saucy wink at Magritte.

Wow, danilo. I could really see that….crazy! How come I never think of things like that!
