Models in Space

I am so into this beautiful pencil sketch of the Princess Irulan character from Frank Herbert's Dune universe right now (thanks, wikipedia!). I love how eerie, exotic and regal (the book mentions her "hauteur"!) she looks. Also, I never though I'd say this, but somehow she manages to pull off this weird gravity-defying eighties hairstyle... and who wants imperial high colars to suddenly be in style in the 21st century?!









Does she remind anyone else of a certain adorable aussie model? Those bold straight brows, pouty chin, baby lips, and flat exotic nose...








Gemma Ward gone sci-fi!













More cosmic modeling:










Lost in (cyber)space?



I'm trying to find this one perfect image from Vogue (must be an issue the better part of a decade ago, though). I think the editorial was themed by the places the model wanted to visit. Shalom Harlow wanted to visit home, another model wanted to go skydiving around the Taj Mahal... and one wanted to visit the moon! I remember she was standing in the rocky moon terrain, pouring loose glitter out of a big plastic bottle. The picture was taken mid-stream, with the glitter plunging in a line toward the floor, but hadn't yet hit.



It's driving me crazy! Internet, why hasn't someone scanned in every editorial from every Vogue issue yet? Or are my Google skills failing me?
