Frida: Style Icon charts Frida's fashion evolution through 50
beautifully illustrated style moments including pieces from her
famous wardrobe, her most iconic looks and her own special kind of
styling. From embroidered blouses and traditional Tehuana dresses
to indigenous treasures and jewellery strung by Frida herself, this
book showcases how Frida used her style as a means of personal and
political expression. Her wardrobe includes examples of traditional
Mexican dress - rebozos (shawl), embroidered huipiles (square-cut
tops) and enaguas (skirts), as well as a series of hand-painted
medical corsets and supportive back-braces which also illuminate
the story of her near-fatal bus crash at the age of 18. Tastefully
and elegantly illustrated throughout, this volume is a must-have
for admirers of Frida Kahlo, fashion historians and fans of fashion
illustration.

The first five films in the comedy horror series. In 'Leprechaun'
(1993), J.D. Reding (John Sanderford) and her daughter Tory
(Jennifer Aniston) take a break at a summer house which is
unfortunately located on the site of an evil leprechaun's (Warwick
Davis) stolen gold, and he will stop at nothing to get it back.
J.D., Tory and local boys Nathan (Ken Olandt), Alex (Robert Hy
Gorman) and Ozzie (Mark Holton) team up to prevent the leprechaun's
trail of magic and murder as he tries to drive them away from his
treasure. In 'Leprechaun 2' (1994), the nasty little Irishman
returns on his 1000th birthday. He gets to choose a bride by making
her sneeze three times. Unfortunately the bride he chooses turns
out to be the daughter of his slave. In 'Leprechaun 3' (1995), when
college student Scott (John Gatins) gives a beautiful magician's
assistant a lift to Las Vegas, he can't resist stopping off at a
casino. Pretty soon he's lost all of his money and, in order to win
it back, decides to pawn his Rolex watch. While at the pawn shop,
he finds one of the leprechaun's (Davis) gold shillings and is
granted a wish. Thanks to the lucky coin, Scott goes on a winning
streak, but the leprechaun has realised his coin has gone missing
and is willing to kill to get it back. In 'Leprechaun 4' (1996), in
his quest to rule the universe, the leprechaun (Davis) takes to
outer space, where he kidnaps an alien princess and plans to marry
her. However, when a platoon of space marines are sent to rescue
the princess, the leprechaun discovers a sinister half-human,
half-computer doctor who wants to use the princess's DNA to restore
his body to its former self. Soon the scene is set for a showdown
between the leprechaun, the marines, and a gigantic blood-sucking
monster, while their spaceship's timer is counting down to
self-destruction. Finally, in 'Leprechaun 5' (2000), three young
rap artists are in need of money to go to Las Vegas and enter a
contest. But when they get caught up in stealing a medallion from a
statue, it transforms into the leprechaun (Davis), who goes on a
killing spree looking for his missing gold.
