...speed and grace of the 1943 cartoon that directly inspired it: Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood. Catch it some night on cable's Cartoon Network. The Wolf enters a club called the Sunset Strip ("30 Gorgeous Girls -- No Cover"), and starts palpating when Red, in a scarlet bustier, sings Daddy. Wolfie goes bats: chairs fly, factory whistles blow, mechanical hands clap. And Red is worth every libidinal leer. With her Bette Davis voice, Betty Grable legs and Betty Boop bosom, she is any wolf's bedtime fantasy -- way too hot for the '40s, and plenty sulfurous even today...
Linda Gray plays Hillary Michaels, owner of the eponymous Models Inc. (She also plays the mother of Heather Locklear's character on Melrose, but that's another story line.)

Clothes in every color of the neon rainbow, clothes with words on them, clothes with Haringesque graffiti on them, gang clothes, dance...
...Malaysian who is Seventh Avenue's latest find, is looking for a little shock value too. "I had to do something completely different," he says. "I went with bright red and shocking-pink denim, with metallic gold stitching." One of his best sellers is a sexy little bustier dress in bold colors. His next line includes a two-layered frolic: a chiffon pleated skirt over a pink denim sheath...
