Now that's my type of rutabaga pic! I'll bet the girl in blue is
envious of the 'baga's costume.

Oh my, Joske, that rear view is priceless! (and - seriously - I think it's
very well done!).

But on the other hand, I think it's doubtful a rutabaga has what it
takes to bellydance :-)
Joe, offtopic: I just discovered that Edmonton houses a Sikh
population.
http://www.abheritage.ca/albertans/people/sikh.html
And this is their temple in your place:
http://www.phys.ualberta.ca/~gortel...00-RW_3054.html
I came by this through bhangra music, punjabi culture, and a movie
clip of their martial arts called gatka. In a different version of
this clip, it was told how three boy sikhs died in a traffic
accident on their way from Surrey BC to Edmonton where they were to
give a demonstration. So their culture must be rather active in
Edmonton, I presume.
Just thought I'd tell you. Maybe their places (the temple is
hospitable, it seems) or events would make an interesting photo
subject matter some time.

Did you see Barbara write the word 'cheeks' too? And then Spandex
says it's me who's cheeky?
The pants were originally taken from a flag Spandex posted to
demonstrate deformation - I just copied, downsized and duplicated
it. It explains the in places illogical lightfall and how hard it
was to find matching photos with that kind of light. I also made no
attempt to make the pants fall over the legs in a logical way (fold
inward/outward).
The rear is really mostly a matter of Lighten/Darken. I first used a
mild Warp Brush to expand both sides, and not very well either, as
you can see by the blurrier parts. But that was because all this was
done within half an hour (you know how we can tweak details
forever). I also gave the bottom backside of the vegetable some
Lighten on both sides, which makes it seem more 'love-handly' :-) A
bit of shadow above that furthers the suggestion.

Actually, Edmonton is home to quite a large diversity of
cultures, most of which will be represented at the 31st Annual
Edmonton Heritage Festival, a 3 day event running the August 5-7
long weekend. There will be 58 pavilions, each pavilion
representing one cultural/ethnic group. Last years festival had
close to 400,000 visitors. For all I know it could be the most
diverse festival of its kind in the world (we already host the
second largest Fringe Festival - in September - after Scotland).
I go every year to the Heritage Festival. For more info, you can
always check out this link:
http://www.heritage-festival.com/
I'll likely post some pics this year.

'Love-handly,' hehe! Yep, I imagine that Spandex would have some fine love
handles - sorta goes with the name, IMO ;-) At any rate, you did such nice
work on the cheeks, it makes me think that you must spend rather a lot of
time ogling 'baga behinds.
*now my turn to duck and run*

Laughing really hard here :-)
As a matter of fact, I'm not into that kind of ogling at all... I'm
the oldfashioned 'eyes' type. There's many women here just watching
ice skating to see the firm musculature :-) Me, though 99,99%
hetero, am of the opinion that our own figures are more attractive
(to paint, dress, etc). But of late I am mesmerized by male bhangra
dancing, which is a very interesting mix of maleness (the firm, wide
movements, the beards) and female looks (soft smiling faces,
dress-like costumes). But then, they were for equal rights centuries
ago :-)

Of course she isn't :-) She is round, and I bet one of the very few
rutabagas having these curvatures at all. And it's not like the
rare potato you'll find in the shape of a doggy or a face with a
nose either: Miss Spandex has brains as well :-)

I did, and am impressed by the size and diversity of the festival -
three days seems too short. You will surely have an interesting time
there food and photo wise.
Although I didn't see specific Sikh or punjabi representation, there
will be an India(n) pavillion. The colors should be great.
There is even a Dutch pavillion, can you imagine that looked funny
to me :-) If you decide to eat there at all, keep it to the
kroketten (wrongly spelled 'krokets' on the site), poffertjes, or
haring.

Yes, three days isn't a lot of time if you want to see every
display and particularly the performance put on by each group. As
you noticed, they each do a 30 minute performance every alternate
half hour showcasing their culture (dancing, song, instrumentals,
skit or whatever, and with 58 pavilions that would be a total of
29 hours of viewing. I usually spend most of two days, and of
course have to pick and choose which performances to watch and
often only watch a portion of many of them.
I'll have to check into what those Dutch food items are. Rather
than eat a full meal anywhere, the trick is to just purchase a
small sample offerings from each ethnic group and snack
throughout the day as you walk about or watch activities. A
Serbian shish-kabob, an oriental roll, a bit of goat stew from an
Arab pavilion, fruit offerings from some of the Carribean
pavilions, etc., and you can get pretty stuffed even just
snacking! Excellent satays are had at several pavillions and are
hard to resist.
