Clad in a floor-length white bridal gown and sweeping tulle veil and posed in front of Au Bon Pain, Amanda Palmer is one of the most visible performers. She stands frozen, one hand outstretched for donations, which she exchanges for paper flowers...

...floor-length cowboy coat ($184) is back with a reissued catalog and even grander designs on the future--although this time he won't be in a mad rush. Peterman, 59, hopes to make his new, slimmed-down sales book the core of a licensing empire that will put the J. Peterman brand on all things "wondrous, authentic and excellent," from African safaris to limited-edition autos. "By staying focused and carefully building up the brand," he says, "we can become a multihundred-million-dollar-a-year company in a relatively short period of time: five years...

Rachel Martin's present for her ninth birthday came wrapped in silver spandex. The 5-ft.7-in. gift walked in on a red carpet, stripped off her floor-length black coat to reveal silver hip huggers and a matching tube top and sang, "I think I did it again/I made you believe..."

And let's not forget that well-deserved standing ovation...

...onscreen, undulating in second-skin, cleavage-proud knitwear or the sheerest orange chiffon, all heads turn, salivate and explode. Who but Marilyn could so effortlessly justify such luscious insanity? She is the absolute triumph of political incorrectness. When she swivels aboard a cruise ship in clinging jersey and a floor-length leopard-skin scarf and matching muff, she handily offends feminists, animal-rights activists and good Christians everywhere, and she wins, because shimmering, jewel-encrusted, heedless movie stardom defeats all common morality. Her wit completes her cosmic victory, particularly in her facial expression of painful, soul-wrenching yearning when gazing...
