...expert seductress when it comes to style. She can conjure her last trip to Egypt or Israel by simply painting the walls the color of wet sand, burning tangy incense and laying out a rough plywood floor. By the time the frocks come galloping out on platform shoes with heels that are sculpted in such a way as to resemble the handles of kitchen utensils, the clothes seem irrelevant. You're in Donna's world and everything else falls away. In her world it's easy to imagine breezing down the red carpet in a patchwork chiffon caftan the color...

You'll even learn exciting new words, like "tribadism" (Google it!). Section discussion runs from "frank" to "raunchy...
...Richards, a keen student of the new media age, turned the state treasurer's slot into a statewide platform and built a loyal following among the agency's bureaucracy. She did such a good job at broadening the position's reach that it later became a path to power for other female Texas politcians including U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. In 1988, half way through Richards' second term, she took that confidence and her persona to the Democratic National Convention, wowing everyone with her silver hair and stiletto tongue. Her famous poke at then Vice President George H.W. Bush - "Poor...
