I love this model!!!! She is wonderfully sculpted, and just beautiful!!!! She stands nicely, and is just perfect!!! She is all black, with grey hooves. One eye is covered with hair, which cascades down her neck nicely!! Her mane and tail are very big and fluffy- along with her feathers!! She, by far, is one of my favorite models!! This is definitely a highly recommended, five star product!!!!! <3

Paris dweller, Madame Martine, likes routine, and has her days planned out down to what food she eats which day of the week. A stray dog upends her life and brings joy. Luminous watercolor illustrations highlight a beautiful city while retaining focus on the human and canine characters.

the model in the pic must be somewhat tiny, as they are large on her but quite tight and small on me

Awesome set of animals. I still wish I could afford the Schleich animals, but these are a good, affordable alternative. They aren't quite as realistic as the Schleich figures though. Still, they are a good alternative. They are defintely a great size.

Mitzi Martin is the model and muse on who this book is based. She is a perfect canvas upon which talented make-up artist Francesca Tolot and husband photographer Alberto Tolot capture her many faces.  This coffee table book begins with a retrospective dialogue with Francesca and Mitzi about their work and collaboration. The rest of this tome contains many wonderful pictures of either just the face or face and body of Mitzi Martin.

As I was perusing this volume of work, I was amazed at how one woman could be transformed so dramatically.  In two pictures, she appears to be made up to look like a man.

This is certainly a coffee table book to be displayed in the home of anyone with an artistic or eclectic nature.  I can even see this as part of the coffee table collection in high end salons. "One Woman 100 Faces" is not for everyone but for those with an artistic side, it is one more coffee book for their collection.

These fit really well and give a lot of support without the guilt of wearing another animals' skin. Do it!

This book accompanies the exhibition 'The imaginary animal in the photograph, from 1850 to the present day', presented at the Palais Lumire in Evian from October 2010 to January 2011.

This exhibition brought together over one hundred photographs of real or imaginary animals taken by photographers of the nineteenth century major and international contemporary artists.

The animal is a very present figure in literature and popular culture, but also in artistic creation. An enigma, it fascinates and inspires the artists by becoming a model in its own right from the beginning of the invention of photography. The collected works are an invitation to dream and reflect on our complex relationship with the animal species, both so close and yet so far.

It is a visually stunning collection of images, as well as a thought-provoking chronicle of how animals have evolved in the artist's eye and our culture over the years.  A great coffee table book, and a must-have for serious connoisseurs of photography.

The girls are in great shape and look great. The women are fit, yet have varying body shapes and sizes which adds variety. The scenes are beautiful. The prints are full size and take up most of the page while still leaving enough room on the calendar to make it useful.

Recommendations:
-SI uses a watermark on the calendar to display alternate pictures of the girl of the month. This is a nice way to spruce up the calendar portion without leaving too much boring white space.
-I would have liked to see more girls in lingerie. Bikinis are great, but every model calendar these days are bikinis. I like that this one switches up the outfits a bit.
-A bit more color in the photos would go a long way. The quality is great and the variety is great, but some scenes would standout more with another hint of color or so.

Final thoughts:
Love this calendar. I will look for it again in 2015.

Lovely model  some good poses and nice size of photos to work from for artist needing sword wielding ladies and a sorceress or two. Some poses are a bit hokey but over all well done. Some nice nude and clothed photo references as well.

Love the diversity of these designs. The geometric draw you in and the animal designs are wonderfully energetic.  I'm looking forward to hours of fun!

Nicely detailed blanket with realistic straps and buckles. It fits most of my larger Traditional Breyers with the exception of the ponies and the Irish Draft model.

J&eacute;rme Gautier (a Paris based journalist and fashion historian), has created a sumptuous ode to Chanel via the greatest fashion photographers who ever lived.

Similar in format to Daniele Bott's Chanel: Collections and Creations, Gautier takes eleven key Chanel style elements and juxtaposes the original forms of the trademarks with current day innovations, letting Chanel's enduring style speak for itself.

Each chapter contains a brief history of the key style element and gorgeous archived and contemporary fashion photographs of models and celebrities:

Chapter 1: The Body Liberated - Chanel's fashions liberate women from corsets

Chapter 2: Little Black Dresses - The LBD and its place in fashion history

Chapter 3: Black into Night - Dresses go to ankle length for day, brushing the floor at night - black is no longer just for mourning

Chapter 4:  Baroque Inspirations -Chanel is introduced to Venice by Misia - "queen of modern Baroque"

Chapter 5: 31, Rue Cambon - Chanel buys the building and adds surrounding properties to create Maison Chanel

Chapter 6: Youth and Evolution - Chanel's life - fact and fiction

Chapter 7: Simple Chic - The enduring appeal of Chanel hats

Chapter 8: Androgyne - Chanel creates clothes based on the comfort men enjoy

Chapter 9: From Tweed to Tweeds - Chanel's enduring corded tweed suit

Chapter 10: The Total Look - Accessorizing with Chanel

Chapter 11: Rebel - Chanel Fashion as defiant as the woman herself

At the end of the book is a legend to each fashion photograph. The photographer, model or celebrity, Chanel collection the item came from, magazine or book where it first appeared are all documented.

This book comes in a beautiful pink hardcover slipcase, measures 9  by 12 5/8, contains 211 gorgeous color and black & white illustrations and weighs in at six pounds.

I also recommend:

Chanel: Collections and Creations by Dani&egrave;le Bott - The book explores five central themes--the suit, the camellia, jewelry, makeup and perfume, the little black dress--and follows the threads from past to present to show how these key items have been rediscovered and reinvented by new designers.

Jacques Helleu & Chanel by Jacques Helleu - Jacques Helleu is the eye behind the House of Chanel's enduring image, having explored the meanings of this legendary brand in daring commercials and fabulous print ads for the past 40 years. He has given tangible, glamorous shape to the essential mystique of Chanel's perfumes. This beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated volume tells the story of Helleu's vision.

In line with expectations, models pretty enough.

I do fashion illustration so it was fun to see the differences used to create the looks and expressions of these images and contrast that with fashion illustration. I found the book very helpful.

Fun and functional. My Rhodesian Ridgeback loves to run. It's very dark in our local park. I can spot her perfectly. She always wears coats and scarves and this adds to her title as most fashionable dog in the neighborhood

My mini-Schnauzer is just too cute in her little faux fur jacket.  She loves looking stylish when out on the town. Fit is perfect.
