Leigh Anne has made herself an interior decorator of the, shall we say, gaudier persuasion; her home, which is bigger than Tara, boasts bedroom pillows that are a riot of checks, stripes and leopard-skin patterns. Her personality is no less colorful. She struts through life with a scary assurance; she's a blond tornado, looking for people to put down, causes to champion. Finding Michael gives her a mission that unites home, school and her driving ambition. It's as if Erin Brockovich...

"And then you see how fundamental the colors are. He was greatly influenced by Matisse." Known for his precision in his atelier, at home Saint Laurent would constantly make tiny adjustments to where certain paintings hung or where a footstool...
...Pakistanis have great respect for the army, says Mehdi, "because they are supposed to protect us. But today the military only came to rescue their own, they took them to the hospital, but they didn't help the civilians at all, they didn't even offer help." The fake leopard-skin seat covers of his battered Suzuki compact were littered with the broken glass of all four windows and his windshields. "I am unhappy," he says.
