PROVIDENCE — The police are sitting on a warehouse-sized haul of nearly 20,000 alleged knockoff designer goods and pirated music CDs and movie DVDs after raiding two flea markets.

They also arrested 13 people, mostly on charges related to the possession of counterfeit goods.

Tipped off by the industries whose goods allegedly were copied and manufactured and labeled without permission, officers moved in Sunday morning at the Big Top flea market at 120 Manton Ave. in Olneyville and the Americana flea market at 50 Murray St. in Silver Lake.

At the Big Top, they said some vendors quickly moved away from the tables that they were tending when they realized the police had arrived, and disclaimed ownership of the items for sale.

I never thought of that as a possible source for the du-rag images... though it's pretty obvious, what do *I* do when I want a reference image of something, right? These shots seem so posed... but then, there are a million actors out there putting up headshots on the internet... like [edit] my handsome brother who didn't want me to link to his website yet. oh well, you will have to wait a little bit to see all the handsomeness... whoah… I never thought of that as a possible source for the du-rag images… though it’s pretty obvious, what do *I* do when I want a reference image of something, right?

I was reading this woman's blog a while ago (can't remember which). she was traveling in the carribean, and saw a package of hair extensions that used a photo of her on the insert. it was some sort of head shot or something. The extensions were manufactured in SE asia somewhere. she figures that someone found the picture online and just used it. regarding the origins of the du-rag pictures… I was reading this woman’s blog a while ago (can’t remember which). she was traveling in the carribean, and saw a package of hair extensions that used a photo of her on the insert. it was some sort of head shot or something.
