...fact schizophrenic economist John Nash? Is that played out?Meanwhile, ABC News has been vehemently derided for its recent debate, which was labeled ‘irrelevant’ by many and whose host, Charlie Gibson, was pilloried as a gossipmonger. One exemplary moment featured Nash McCabe, a Pennsylvania everywoman in a bizarre tunic who asked Sen. Obama if he “believes in the American flag.” If so, why won’t he wear a tiny tin replica of it on his lapel? But the attention this debate received should point the way going...
...exactly is Marimekko? The name translates literally as "Mary's dress" and figuratively as a dress for Everywoman (and, indeed, Everyman?the unisex Jokapoika shirts have been hot sellers since 1956). It is perhaps one of the first ever lifestyle brands (the Courier-type logo, which was inspired by a magazine headline, dates from 1954 and has been stamped on clothing and home wares ever since).

Like a sorority girl cooking for a charity event, she calls her dishes "yum-o" and says things like "Good thinkin', Lincoln." On her first few shows, she plays up the fact that--oh, ditsy Rachael--she has a limp at the moment because she fell down the stairs in her house. At a segment at Sterling Vineyards in Napa Valley, Calif., in which she and Puck choose wine for the Oscars' Governors Ball...
...think Annabelle is kind of Everywoman. Annabelle's smart. She really wants to make her way in the world, but things keep happening, getting in her way. She's also the youngest child in a family of over-achievers. She's got one brother who's a surgeon; her father is a surgeon; her mother was a bank vice-president; another brother is the head of an accounting firm. So she sees herself as the family failure. I think a lot of people can identify with that, with their position in the family, and with the competitiveness of trying...
