Another Visit to the Mulberry Monster Fashion Forest
Just a few more shots from the really fantastic Mulberry Fall 2012 ad campaign shared previously.
And a look at the more Wookiee inspired items (that I love) from the Runway Show.
Which brings to mind this great Lady Chewie Cosplay (which I also love) from SDCC 2012.

It's Wookiee Life Day! - A Celebration in Art and Song
Wookiee Life Day is the ersatz Thanksgiving/Christmas Celebration featured in the notorious Star Wars Holiday Special that aired once on November 17th,1978. The special was totally bizarre in a Sid & Marty Krofft meets Star Wars kind of way - complete with musical numbers, Chewie's full Wookiee family, and guest stars Bee Arthur & Art Carney, as well as the original cast - it never aired again. But the damage was done - millions of fans desperate for anything Star Wars had seen it and this epic oddity was forever burned into our memories. So on this day many celebrate peace and family...but mostly it's an excuse to post pictures of Chewbacca and all things Wookiee, as well as wince at Princess Leia's singing.
Urban Legend tells us that George Lucas tried to obtain and destroy all copies of "The Special". But it managed to survive in poor quality bootleg form, becoming a Sci-Fi Convention staple, until it eventually found it's forever home - the internet.
So... here are some lovely paintings given to characters participating in Life Day Festivities in the
Star Wars Galaxies MMORG (which is sadly closing down in December).
