Documentary thriller examines human psyche
Some of the most entertaining documentaries are those in which the truth really is stranger than fiction. But the fascinatingly bizarre "The Imposter" pulls in viewers with more than its mind-boggling story. It actually plays out like a sleek, pulse-pounding thriller, making it highly exciting and especially accessible to those who don't typically watch documentaries.
In 1994, 13 year old Nicholas Barclay disappeared from San Antonio, Texas. It seemed like a miracle when he was found alive more than three years later in Spain. The family rejoiced at his return and accepted him back into their lives but failed to realize something very important about the boy. He wasn't actually Nicholas.
As this mysterious, unnamed man explains (in present day) how he tricked the authorities, the family and everyone else, dramatized reenactments show the situation unfolding, while the Barclays also
Driving the tension here is the question: How can this guy who knows nothing about Nicholas, doesn't look at all like him and even speaks with a foreign accent pull this off? And how could the family ever accept this stranger to be their beloved Nicholas?

describe their side of it.
It's a peculiar yet engrossing look into the human psyche, both of a cunning, captivating fraud and of a vulnerable family who miss their boy so much that they'll believe in anything to have him back. And it only gets weirder after the imposter has ingratiated himself into his
Considering director Bart Layton's background as the creator of the NatGeo documentary show "Locked Up Abroad," which features many intense dramatic re-enactments, their use here is even more effective. The actors in them look exactly like the real people, giving a further surreal feel to the whole thing. They're dark, moody and voiced over with the interviews adds to the suspense.
new life, when the real astonishing secrets come out of the closet.
He raises some unsettling questions (do the Barclays have an anterior motive for accepting this man into their family?) and slowly brings to light shocking truths, culminating in an electrifying finale. All of these factors make "The Imposter" the must-see documentary of the year.

Victoria's Secret issues apology for headdress
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a Native American-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The company responded to the complaints over the weekend by saying it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the show's television broadcast next month, or in any marketing materials.
"We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," the company said.
Headdresses historically are a symbol of respect, worn by Native American war chiefs and warriors. For many Plains tribes, for example, each feather placed on a headdress has significance and had to be earned through an act of compassion or bravery. Some modern-day Native American leaders have been gifted war bonnets in ceremonies accompanied by prayers and songs.
"When you see a Lakota chief wearing a full headdress, you know that he was a very honorable man. He was a leader. He did a lot of honorable things for his people," said Michelle Spotted
Elk, a Santa Cruz, Calif., woman of mixed heritage whose husband is Lakota. "It also has religious significance. With them, there's not a division between spirituality and their leadership."
Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss walked onto the runway last week wearing the floor-length feathered headdress, leopard-print underwear and high heels. She also was adorned with fringe and turquoise jewelry during a segment meant to represent the 12 months of the year — fireworks in July, rain gear for April and a headaddress for November.
Kloss hersePosted on Twitter that she was "deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone."
Thousands of people have commented about the outfit on the company's Facebook page. Some praised Kloss' attire as artistic and urged those offended by it to "get over it." Some expressed appreciation to Victoria's Secret for halting its marketing approach for the clothing, and others reached back in history to explain their feelings.
"We have gone through the atrocities to survive and ensure our way of life continues." Navajo Nation spokesman Erny Zah said in an interview Monday. "Any mockery, whether it's Hallowen,

Victoria's Secret — they are spitting on us. They are spitting on our culture, and it's unsetting."
The Victoria's Secret stir follows a string of similar incidents. Recently, Paul Frank Industries Inc. and the band No Doubt each ran into criticism for their use of headaddress in clothing and parties, and in a cowboys-and-Indians-themed video, respectively. They offered apologies as well.
