...ethereal lightness of Vera Wang's dance-inspired collection lifted day six of fashion week up, up and away. Wang has been working diligently on developing her ready-to-wear signature for the past several seasons and her message is now loud - or, I should say, soft - and clear. Wang's vision features an artistic type swathed in the most sophisticated layers of cashmere, tulle and chiffon. After the show, someone wondered how all these willowy frocks would look on a hanger in a store, but that's not the point of such a triumphant collection. The purpose...
...1970s, when Texas politicians still drank, smoked and sparred in dark smoky bars, The Quorum Club was Austin's premier political watering hole. There at the big corner table, you'd find a cast of political characters drawn in bold Texas strokes-men with firm handshakes and loud laughs, men who had been nurtured by LBJ and knew politics, by and large, for that matter, mostly men.

...creatures you don't encounter in the backyard or at the shops. Irwin didn't surround himself with common marsupials. Rather, he was a danger man who celebrated the bad boys of the animal kingdom-ugly spiders and crocs, snakes and sharks. Kids imbibed the childlike exuberance of the loud man in shorts and his taste for adventure; he was more like them than their parents-buttoned-down folk who worked in offices or crafted rules to keep them in their box. Of course, Irwin offered an escape. And the messages he passed on, regardless of the means he used...
