But the Notting Hill shop - one of three in London recently reopened as high-fashion boutiques - looks downright chic, with polished dark-wood flooring, arty light fixtures, and top-brand ladies' wear displayed on stylish wrought-iron racks. The shop also sells brand-new fair-trade clothes and accessories typically made by London College of Fashion students from organic fabrics, as well as one-of-a-kind items made from recycled clothes and other materials. One smart-looking jacket on offer for $130 has shoulders fashioned from baseball-cap bills...

On last week's episode of Murphy Brown (arguably the most politically correct show on TV, now that Designing Women is gone), a newscaster got into trouble for calling a female fighter pilot a ''girl.'' Audience members...

She saves her best anachronistic joke for last: the steamy Justify My Love is performed in stately cadence and Edwardian morning coats. It might be the Ascot Gavotte from My Fair Lady. Nostalgia, as wispy as the scent of marijuana that permeated the SkyDome, is itself decadent. By highlighting the past, Madonna is saying the present has little to offer. In doing so, she is also forging a bond with her loyal gay audience. It is an axiom of pop culture...
