...Chippendales in Manhattan as one G-string-clad male after another gyrated in her direction. "She was giggling," reported a guest to the New York Post. "Sometimes she looked scared. She was very natural, very receptive, very nice to them." And, despite the salacious surroundings, very ladylike. When one hunk hoisted Shields into his arms, she demurely reached down to hold her skirt in place. After the show, everyone repaired to a private room for more partying. There were no reported readings from her new teen advice book, On Your Own, in which she explained why she was still...

All of which have taken up residence in the language in both conversation and song, as in the distinguished lyric: "When my Sugar walks down the street/ All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet...
...divergent areas of the KodaColor World. Duncan specializes in dance photography, that magic art of dissimulation that turns aging Nuryevs into air-bound youths, or transforms a Natalia Markarova into a Natassia Kinski. These f-stop Michaelangelos glory in sweat, stretches, and lots of straining muscle, and a big hunk of Duncan's photos are devoted to lesser known celebs for the sake of their better built bodies...
