Nikita

Anne Parillaud, a french actress, is the original (and my favorite) Nikita. The script for the original movie La Femme Nikita was written specifically for her. The movie was a hit in France in 1991 and made it's way to the US in 1992. The American movie remake was alright, but doesn't really have the style, flair, or visual impact.

Heraldry

Zanzibar came and stuck some of these on our bookmarks at home.

Glossary of Heraldic Terms - lots of text
Pimbley's Dictionary of Heraldry
Heraldic Primer: Table of Contents - This is the good one with easy to understand explanations and fast loading figures depicting the concepts.
Iulstan (Stephen Gold) pointed me at the Heraldry in Gilling Castle page. It's got a number of actual shields emblazoned in low bit gif format for fast loading.

Clothing

Yosa very nice fantasy, medieval, etc dresses. Not a huge selection, but has nice photos of some of the styles in a variety of colors and fabrics. Time period goes up to around 18th century. Made to order.
Lindsay Fleming More very nice medieval style dresses. Modeled by a lovely redhead. The site layout is a bit confusing due to small font. I recommend browsing as quickly as possible to the "Celtic 2001" area. There's some more modern stuff too but I like the medieval ones best. The dress titled Janel one of my favorites. Made to order.
Galileo Gowns Custom made medival style gowns, all with about the same styling: high waist, flat bodice, straight skirt. A variety of fabrics.
Gypsy Moon Renaissance and gothic type clothing. They are wise the the ways of photo editing. Though they do tend to repeat themselves between their subpages.
