You can see a set of about 50 photos from the regatta if you click here.

Brisbane Fashion: "I Have A Pretty Face"
The artwork on this T-Shirt is designed by Brisbane artist Natalie of defnatalie.com. On her blog, she says:
Basically, my illustration refers to (and reclaims) a “compliment” a lot of fat women have received… “oh but you have such a pretty face”. Well, damn straight I do – but don’t you go negating my body! Heidi is spreading the body love and intends on creating more tshirts to sell, including more of my own illustrations!
The T-Shirts are US $25 each, and go up to 5XL. Which is good – how many times do you hear people say “Oh, we even have XL”, as though that is big enough for people who are fat like me.
You can buy the T-Shirts here – scroll down to where it says “Heidi Campaign” (you’ll need either a credit card, Visa or Mastercard Debit Card, or a PayPal account).
Brisbane Photos: Ringlight reflection (Astrid)
Flickr user David De Groot comes up with another nice photo. This one uses a ringlight (click here for a photo of the gear) to create the effect in the pupil.
