...website for "The Mercury Theatre on the Air" has not the live performance but the dress rehearsal of the September 11, 1938 show, "Caesar," a shortened version of the company?s Broadway hit, now with radio commentator H.V. Kaltenborn barking out Suetonius? chronicle of the death of a dictator. CBS had renewed the Mercury?s contract for 13 more weeks; it would now be opposite Charlie McCarthy on Sundays at 8. Welles had an over-lapping commitment: "The Shadow" was on from 5:30 to 6:00. So he had less than two hours to get to the CBS studio...
...Somehow - after the desperate agitation of the dress rehearsal - the live show was always good, always right. Now it was 8 p.m. Bulova Watch time, and, says Houseman, "At that instant, quite regularly week after week, with not one second to spare, the buffoonery stopped. Suddenly out of chaos, the show emerged - delicately poised, meticulously executed, precise as clockwork, smooth as satin."

When I pointed out my confusion over Cavalli's $1,300 see-through pink miniskirt, Tiffany had me examine its beading and detailing. I told her that most guys wouldn't pick up on the beading and detailing when they're staring at something else. "Women dress for women," Tiffany explained. Actually, women dress sexy for men, but they usually have to do this in a place where there are other women around, so they spend $1,700 on a Cavalli white leather skirt so the other women don't think they're cheap.
