{the city...}

when i saw the above picture on the left (taken by scott schumann), for some reason it reminded me of the movie, the city of lost children. i suppose it's due to the stripes and the red, and the woman could pass for a grown up version of miette. have you seen this movie about a mad scientist who kidnaps children to steal their dreams? it's pretty dark, but worth watching. all costumes were designed by jean-paul gualtier.
