...usually make well-cut, wearable clothes, like Donna Karan, get the fever. In her DKNY show, the city girl went western, featuring dubious slinky pants with a phony chaps look, crinoline-shaped frontier skirts and hats that were at least seven gallons. In Paris, Jean-Paul Gaultier, perennial idol of the fashion press, indulged in one of his toughest tart looks ever. Each of his models had one eye blackened, and sullen stares seemed to be a decree. Some of them wore cyberspace-punk bodysuits printed with computer graphics. Still, draped over them were practical coats and jackets-Gaultier...
...classroom time and nearly all of the movies, except for the one about drunk driving that I was promised would be very exciting. I did attend my actual "road time" assignments, led by Keith, a dead ringer for radio deejay Howard Stern who insisted on listening to his idol while we drove. Despite my attempts to master the art of driving, I always seemed to miss key elements of driving technique. So Keith would do them for me.

The movie's plot can be appreciated as a prologue, how Tank Girl got her tank, that sort of thing...

He movingly demonstrated his growing mastery of Coltrane's licks with chorus after chorus of blowing in a style hauntingly evocative of his idol. His exploratory forays entered into the area of choked cries, multiphonics, and ever-multiplying expansions of the harmonic structure laid down by pianist Willie Pickens and bassist Neal Caine. Unfortunately, trombonist Delfayo Marsalis (of Marsalis name and fame) let down the intensity level established by the saxophonist due to his overly...
