...pregnant woman," says Tiefer, "is discovering she is still beautiful and sexually appealing." To that end, Madonna's star design for fall is a long, black jersey dress ($50). Just over the area where the stomach protrudes, there is a circular cutout into which any one of three discs-two patterned and one plain black mesh-can be snapped. The black disc, recommended for evening wear, includes a strategically positioned rhinestone guaranteed to be the center of attraction...

...felt that femininity itself was a trap. In one collage that he made for Agnete Lind, the child of Louise Lind, one of his early unrequited loves, a snake shares the page with one of Andersen's own book covers, a sketch of an audience and a blue cutout doily. It is the serpent in Eden. "This," Andersen scribbled under it, "is the snake of knowledge, representing both good and evil." The dilemma of coming to grips with any work of art became the subject of another image, "Art and the Critic"-a fop peers through a lorgnette...
