...tuna Mornay of fashion: comfortable yet tasteless. But with the flippy new styles sported at Wimbledon last week by the physically gifted (Anna Kournikova, center), the athletically gifted (Serena Williams, left) and virtual unknowns (Asa Svensson) alike, the skirt-shorts combo may be back. "I think it's cute," says Simon Doonan, creative director of Barneys and a noted style sultan. "I could see Carrie Bradshaw wearing one in Sex and the City with a pair of Blahniks." Kournikova's Adidas skort is already in stores ($45). Be warned, though: the new styles are low-slung with a very short...
Some people hate Adrian Tomine's work. All they see are cute girls and angsty-guys in short, enigmatic portraits of the West Coast's slowly-aging Generation X. But they don't get it. Eleven years ago Tomine (pronounced TOE-mean-ay) began self-publishing his comic, "Optic Nerve" when he was just sixteen, stunning the comixcenti with his mature style. It was soon picked up by the classy Canadian publisher Drawn and Quarterly, and the company has just collected the last four issues into a gorgeous hardcover, "Summer Blonde" (132 pp.; $24.95). The dust jacket, with...
...Cute. But is this bucket of bolts smart enough to get me a beer? To Masato Hirose, senior chief engineer at the Honda lab, this is not a facetious question. Since 1986, Honda researchers have been trying to build a robot that could balance and walk naturally like a human. With ASIMO (short for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility), mission accomplished. Now they are moving on to the next epochal challenge: creating a generation of humanoid machines that boast the kind of butlering skills of classic science fiction robots. "Imagine a machine that's as versatile as a human...
...song's setting is a gazebo in a London park, to which Ginger has repaired because of threatening weather. Fred is there too; they've met before, in strained circumstances, and she feels uneasy in his presence. He wears a business suit, she's in riding gear with a cute fedora. A thunderclap sends her rushing into his arms for shelter. Chagrined at her momentary dependence on him, she retreats. Nonchalantly, he explains that a storm is Nature's way of showing how two people come together. A boy cloud and a girl cloud spark, and that's lightning. "They...
...Ginger strolls away from Fred. He follows her, and as they move upstage she throws in a cute little step that the music doesn't allow him to duplicate - a cheap little triumph that he acknowledges by wheeling on one foot and raising his hand to his mouth. For 12 bars they do some snazzy vaudeville tap figures in synch and turn in toward each other. This is the moment when dancers would normally embrace and spin off together, but these two stop just short of touching. This tactic continues through most of the number: every time the music...
