NAOMI: Headshot
This is the last scan of the day and is being taken just of Naomi's head to capture as much detail as possible.

NAOMI: Lighting test
Nick has completed the first test, see picture. Naomi will now come back out and try a range of different poses. The scanner is currently capturing her full body and head but later there will be a specific head scan to capture her features in more detail.

NAOMI: new position
The live stream will be down for a few minutes while we reposition the camera. The 3D scanners need a white background so the studio is being adapted.

NAOMI: Naomi arrives
Naomi has just arrived and is busy with hair and makeup while downstairs,
in the studio, Simon is helping the 3D scanning team calibrate the
scanner. Naomi should hopefully be making her entrance in just under one
hour.

Give a horse a home for Christmas!
SHOWstudio viewers may remember -if you cast your memories back- this golden horse that resided in the studio!? Well, Shona Heath's golden horse that also featured in the Pantomime Christmas edition of Vogue in 2004 is now on ebay! We received this from her studio this morning...

TRANSMISSIONS: Btw
Our trusted contributor Stephen Jones contacted us yesterday to point out that any commerical spectacle on the part of Dita Von Teese in Miami was actually part of quite an interesting history of AIDS support from the company MAC, who has in fact embraced an alternative set of sexual politics...

Boudicca's Platform 13
Perusing fashion websites can prove a pleasantly repetitive pursuit for any December afternoon. Today’s discovery of Boudicca’s vast online reliquary of art and fashion inspirations, however, demanded more than just a quick thumbnailing.
Boudicca, as you all know, was the original British Amazon – an ancient warrior queen who led the... [more]

TRANSMISSIONS: Teasing with Von Teese
It has been noted within the hallowed house of SHOWstudio that the rather tantalising post from Miami last week of an almost invisible stage cloaked in darkness announcing the impending performance of the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, followed by.... nothing, was in itself a bit of a tease. So... [more]

TWELVE DAYS: Jonathan Kaye
Jonathan must be cursing himself for designing such an elaborate concept: he's been in here since 11 and three hours in, he's still not finished!

TWELVE DAYS: Nearly over!
The penultimate day of filming in the studio has just come to an end with SHOWstudio's very own Paul Bruty in the hotseat. Gareth Pugh's outcome (surreptitiously pictured here) -very reminiscent of a past season's collection- also added to our burgeoning collection of videos. Jonathan Kaye will be here tomorrow... [more]

Swarovski Rocks with Four Tet!
Though he's not in town to participate in Twelve Days himself, friend of the Swarovski figurine Jason Evans sent us a CD of the recent Four Tet remixes -whose inside booklet and cover he adorned with the said crystals- by way of remote participation.
TRANSMISSIONS: Helix
Ceal Floyer's series of objects placed in the circular apertures of a Helix measuring device caught my eye on 303 Gallery's stand in Miami. The objects have a suggestion of autobiography, but presented with unsentimental rigour.

TRANSMISSIONS: Money: A Cautionary Tale
Lali Chetwynd, performing as Spartacus Chetwynd just performed with her troupe of collaborators a moral story to art basel's financially savvy audience, perhaps hoping to alert them to the follies materialism can engender. Full performance revealed in time, meanwhile here is Chetwynd's symbolic pot of gold.

TRANSMISSIONS: Art Basel: Miami Beach - Silver trail
Looking for an iconic image to sum up the opening of Art Basel Miami Beach I settled on a visiting Londoner's style adjustment for this de rigeur art world destination. Gary Webb choses to glitz up with metallic finish sportswear and novelty socks. Such clashes abound in this environment -... [more]

Let's have a heated debate!
Unfortunately no photo, as it doesn't do to be too conspicuous about these things, but this afternoon, I was invited down to Vogue's 'Size Zero Models' debate. Can't disclose much, of course, as it's going to form the basis of a forthcoming feature. But it's always an interesting moment when... [more]
Many hands maketh the SHOWstudio Christmas Card
