Kidding aside, Stone's character "Skeeter" Phelan is supposed to look somewhat homely in the flick, based on the best-selling book about Southern belles in the 1960s who mistreat their black "help."

Emma Stone Goes Frizzy for 'The Help': Who Has the Worst Movie Hair?
It's not easy to make Emma Stone look ugly. Which is perhaps why the makers of the new movie "The Help" came up with this monstrosity for her head:

FAMOUS ART QUOTES, MUSIC QUOTES, PAINTING QUOTES, FILM MAKING QUOTES, PHOTOGRAPHY QUOTES:
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
~ Twyla Tharp
Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.
~ Edward Steichen
The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
~ Henri Cartier Bresson
Never really went in for that kind of filmmaking about love. I think love...

Got Scarf?
Okay, I'm not a fashion expert. I'm the last person on earth who is qualified to be commenting on European fashion trends. Most of the sharply-dressed women I see walking around Sweden make me feel shamefully shabby, frumpy, and uncool. I've been more than happy to embrace the stylish and practical Swedish look of skirts with tights and tall leather boots for winter. But, what the hell is up with the GIANT scarves, ladies? As soon as the weather gets cold, the women here pile on scarves that look something like this:
From what I've seen, the thicker and raggedier the yarn and the longer and more cumbersome the scarf, the better. Are we going for some kind of head-slimming effect here? How can your neck possibly get so cold that you need a scarf that would effectively warm a family of five? Doesn't it get heavy after walking around in the rain and snow? Is there some kind of new neck-strengthening workout regime going on that I don't know about? Does it pose a safety risk to your head-turning abilities when you constrict yourself with a huge woolen neck brace? Am I really that clueless about fashion to think this is possibly the silliest look a grown woman could go for? Can anyone out there fill me in on why someone needs to wrap the equivalent of two entire sheep around their face?

The Importance of Shoes
If you're visiting Sweden for the first time and you have absolutely no idea what to do or say, the number one rule to remember is to take off your shoes at the door when you enter someone's home. This habit is so ingrained into Swedish culture that it's hard to explain. It's also hard for me to explain to Swedes that yes, in the US we take our shoes off at the door if it's muddy or raining outside, but it's really not a big deal to leave them on if they're not filthy. To a Swedish person, wearing your shoes inside the house is akin to something as barbaric and uncivilized as taking a dump on the lawn: you just don't do it.
Because of the no-shoes-in-the-house rule, everyone I know has a couple pairs of träskor (literally "wooden shoes") that are always ready at the door and slip easily on and off:
M, his father, and his brother wear these clumpy, high-heeled shoes for almost all outdoor activities around the house, including chopping firewood, chasing after dogs through the forest, hauling in fishing nets, and jumping on and off boats on the dock all day. Everyone seemed so comfortable running around in these things that I decided to pick up a pair for myself at the local hardware store. As you can imagine, for me they're just about as awkward and uncomfortable as it gets without resorting to stilettos. I guess it's one of those acquired cultural skills like eating rice with chopsticks or effortlessly carrying firewood on your head...if you didn't grow up doing it, you probably shouldn't start trying as a grownup. I should have at least held out for something a little more girly for myself, because are some reasonably cute wooden-shoe options out there:
As for shoes that are appropriate for anything other than household chores, I'm starting to realize that my tendency to throw on a pair of old running sneakers to head to the store is decidedly un-Swedish and screams "YANKEE" to everyone around me. Most people wear much more stylish shoes...these really pointy-toed type of leather soccer (sorry, fotboll) shoes are very popular with the men:
While most women wear normal dressy shoes or sandals in the summertime, almost every woman I saw when the weather was colder made me feel like a complete country bumpkin by strutting around in a pair of tall, crazy hot, shiny black knee-length leather boots:
All the ladies had these, from young girls to grandmothers...they made me feel SO boring. And clumsy. And short. Okay, so I have some work to do in the European-shoe-fashion area. But, I can promise that you will never, ever, ever, ever see me assimilating to the point of something like this:

Play the music, not the instrument.
~ Author Unknown
The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return, taught the real value of photography to every father and mother. To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.
~ Louis Fabian Bachrach
The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.

An artist's instinct is more refined than the typical mortal's.
