...into home furnishings. To weave in the Midwestern, feminine perspective from which her brand is derived, they will sandwich a layer of pink film between two pieces of glass, instead of painting the walls. In Hong Kong, where they are building an 85,000-sq.-ft. store for Lane Crawford, they plan to ditch the traditional formula of clothing racks plus wall fixtures in favor of furniture and shelves that sit on the floor to resemble a mansion rather than a department store. --By Nadia Mustafa
...impeccably smooth, as were most of the Americans, who won most of the events. The BALCO scandal was supposed to have crippled the U.S. goal of 100 medals, which was met late Saturday night. The medals came in a torrent, and the young legs of Justin Gatlin and Shawn Crawford were almost as dominant as--although suspiciously a step slower than--those of their possibly drug-tainted predecessors. (It was their coach, Trevor Graham, who sent in a syringe of human growth hormone to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, saying he hoped to save the sport for clean athletes.) Even...
...raves, I found Whishaw?s melancholy teen annoying. He summoned not the shades of Olivier, O?Toole and other famous Hamlets but an adolescent, anorectic Michael Crawford. He has Crawford?s thin, whiny voice, too, ill suited to poetic verse. He begins his big monologue, I swear, by declaring, ?Tuh be or not tuh be.? (It?s ?to,? mate. Rhymes with screw and you.) The performance gets wetter: tears on his cheek, snot peeking out of his nostrils, spume on his lips whenever he pronounces a word beginning with ?p? - and there are lots of them in the soliloquy. Whishaw...
...Shawn Crawford is weird. Two years ago, the U.S. Olympic sprinter wore a Phantom of the Opera mask during a race in Italy; Crawford was disqualified after the disguise blocked his sight, causing him to stray from his lane. In early 2003 he appeared on Fox's Man Vs. Beast TV special, losing to a zebra. And last week, after coming within .04 seconds of a 100-metres gold medal, and .01 seconds of a bronze, the 26-year-old Crawford didn't prostrate himself across the track in dismay. He didn't bury his face in his hands...
...hasn't only been phenomenal. Like Crawford, it's been unusual. At the start of the 200-m final Thursday night, the Greek crowd ignored the public address announcer's pleas for quiet, whistling and booing in support of Kostas Kederis, the 2000 Olympic champ from Greece who pulled out of the Games in a doping controversy. The race was delayed six minutes. Although the sprinters admitted the delay irked them, after Crawford, Bernard Williams and Gatlin placed 1-2-3, the American's didn't seek revenge on the jingoistic fans. There was no chest thumping, no taunting. Says...
