...poles of Wong's screen appeal were that she was nonchalantly sexual (in many films the slim-chested actress wears no bra, thus allowing viewers to ogle at what Sanney Leung on the invaluable Hong Kong Entertainment News in Review website refers to as "two points") and vaguely forbidding. Hollywood couldn't ignore her allure, and had taken notice of her stardom in Europe. Finally, in 1931, at 26, she got top billing in her first American talkie, director Lloyd Corrigan's Daughter of the Dragon - which, in its unabashed melodramatic excess, its rampaging ethnic stereotypes and the opportunity...
...Paar had been hot, mercurial, no surer of what he would do next than his audience. If he'd tangled with NBC earlier that day, or if his daughter Randy got her first training bra, he blurted it out on the air. The show's intimate, neurotic tone made watching Paar an energizing, enervating experience -Event Television.. Carson established order, control (one of his favorite words), an elastic predictability. After the Paar boil, Carson, with his sang froid and what Tynan calls "his cobra-swift one-liners," brought a cooler temperature to Tonight. He seemed to verify Marshall McLuhan...
Women have come to depend on seamless support panty hose to help coax their stomachs and thighs into a perfect silhouette. A new seamless bra from Sassybax aims to accomplish the same for the upper body by doing away with underwires and the unsightly bulges they cause.

Sassybax's appealing styles--which, best of all, sit comfortably against the skin--come in various lengths and skin-tone colors and are sold at Neiman...
...Coulter has made her name by speaking her mind--loudly, brashly and always from the right. Not everyone always appreciates what she says. Her column on the Democratic Convention--which she described as attended by "corn-fed, no makeup, natural fiber, no-bra-needing, sandal- wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call 'women'"--caused USA Today to drop her from its pages. But it's precisely that kind of tart talk that has turned Coulter's books, including her most recent, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), into best sellers and made...
...haven’t always been a Feminist. Truthfully, until I took “Introduction to Women’s Studies” spring semester, the word “feminist” made me think of the bra-burning protests of the 1960s—not an image I was going for. Over the course of the semester, however, I learned that feminism, like any political ideology, runs the gamut from moderate (only legal equality) to extremist (men’s castration), and I realized that my views fit in the middle of the spectrum...
