Believing that the world was in danger of becoming "a homogenous mass," marathon runner Mary K. Gadams set up an adventure company in 1996. The outfit, RacingThePlanet, was designed to "take people to some of the last remaining remote areas" of the earth. But since 2002, Gadams has been asking her clients to do it the hard way - encouraging them to compete in seven-day, 155-mile (250 km) foot races through the arduous terrain, blistering heat and frigid cold of the world's four largest deserts. Known as the 4 Deserts Race, the event takes in the salt plains...
...dressed as Rorschach, complete with mask, asked the panel about the evolution of comic-book films for a more mature audience. "It's just cool you're saying 'a more mature audience' with that outfit on," said Snyder. The director said he fully embraced the book's nihilist themes.

Since she was freshly shorn for a fashion-modeling assignment...
...massive 20,320-ft. Denali, or Mount McKinley. Unfortunately, Denali is 200 miles away from the nearest cruiseship landing point. Customary transportation to Denali National Park in the Alaska range is by bus. Correctly figuring that most affluent U.S. tourists would rather take hookworm medicine than a bus, an outfit called Tour Alaska had the superior idea of buying several old domed railroad observation cars, built to take big spenders from Chicago to the West Coast in the '50s. These splendid arks, nicely refurbished and staffed with chefs and strolling musicians, now shuttle between Anchorage and Fairbanks every...
What has been your favorite outfit designed by a contestant on Project Runway? -Rachel Thompson, DallasMay I give two answers? For me-and it's very emotional-it was the winning look from the very first episode of the very first season, when we took the designers to a Gristedes grocery store and Austin Scarlett made a dress out of corn husks. It was the closest to couture as a corn husk in America could possibly get. On the fashion front, it was the collaboration of Christian Soriano and Chris March on Season 4, the avant-garde challenge. That dress...
