Estelle Reiner looks like a typical 91-year-old grandmother--just over 5 ft. tall, dressed in a simple pantsuit and comfortable shoes. But once a month she gets up on the bandstand of the Gardenia restaurant in Hollywood and sings a very ungrandmotherly set of songs. The effect is equal parts surprise, delight and blushes. At a recent gig, she segued from Just a Little Lovin' to Ain't Misbehavin'. Then, before launching into I Want a Two-Fisted, Double-Jointed, Rough and Ready Man, she confided to the audience, "The man being sought here is only needed...
...exert an influence. Holding up a shirt: "[sizes] 2-10, flat-to-boob, everyone has looked great in it. Hobbs [Ashley R. Hobbs ’06] was wearing it with jeans earlier." Of a rack of suits: "Alexa [L.M. Von Tobel ’06] got a pantsuit and a skirt suit for recruiting." Each mention of one of their friends piques the girls’ excitement, and they grab more from the racks.

His successor has replaced the strutting vamp with an ingénue who saunters diffidently down the runway in a shrunken black pantsuit or a flirty 1940s floral print dress. Yet the ingénue carries one accessory still redolent of the Ford era: the handbags. There were top-handled purses in crocodile with bamboo toggles, a leitmotiv of the house, and tiny clutches with gold logos. And even a fashion ingénue - whether...
...hosted by Christian-music star Amy Grant, just in case you forgot that George W. Bush won the election. The big reality announcement, though, was for the Martha Stewart edition of The Apprentice -no clips, but Martha showed up to give a stilted speech, in a beige pantsuit that showed no hint of an ankle bracelet. The show, we said, will "provide a candid look at my business practices," which I thought was what the trial...
