...lite through their rarefied world. Among these aircraft, watched by a group of pilots, is the airport's newest addition: a jet so tiny that sitting behind a medium-sized business jet it looks like a duckling trailing its mother. Yet as he waits to see the elfin aircraft take off, one pilot declares, "You're looking at the future...
...Ricci is not asked to do much but coast on her dark, elfin star quality, which she manages nicely. In other adult roles, like the ones in Prozac Nation and Monster, she's worked hard to shrug off the ethereal girlishness of her Mermaids and Addams Family days. As for Johansson, the suspicion lingers that there was always a voluptuous woman waiting to burst out of her pre-teen roles. The few extra pounds she carries, in an era when curves are denounced as baby fat, give her the anachronistic, grown-up glamour of a Rita Hayworth. She photographs...
...Chingy. Tabloid pictures of Chingy clubbing with friends and waxing his car, for example, come alive as he joins BFFs Bobby Valentino and Ludacris in stepping out of the pages. This unfortunately recalls the viewer to recall the latter’s Lilliputian role as elfin DJ Donnie in 2007’s “Fred Claus.” As members of his crew extol the virtues of cruisin’ down the block with jewels on they watch, the lyrics of such poeticisms are streamingly “printed” on the pages which now serve...

This time around, though, our first view of the ideal Santa-land...
...easy to upstage fuyuko matsui. With her elfin ears and deep violet eyes, the 33-year-old artist has the looks to carry magazine covers-which she has done for Japanese glossies, wearing the sort of tight dresses you probably wouldn't have found in Frida Kahlo's wardrobe. Yet sitting in the Gallery Naruyama in central Tokyo, one's eye nevertheless strays from Matsui to her 2004 painting Keeping Up the Pureness, in which a ghostly pale woman, black hair pooling beneath her head, lies in a misty field of lilies, poppies and moss. Painstakingly drawn on gold silk...
