...been scored in a helter-skelter game of half-court hoops. A dozen high-school students from Yiyili Aboriginal Community School, two hours east of Fitzroy Crossing, are making a video about healthy eating. The taller chefs have roped in a mob of younger students as extras. Director Sabina Cox calls "Cut." The scene ends. And a supervised chaos, a pause in the normal school day, resumes. The black ball flies from hand to hand, and skinny legs and arms flail in an exuberant choreography. Soon the bell for lunch will summon a well-ordered procession to the community store...
...only country where that chasm is becoming a nexus. In Italy, Sabina Guzzanti is a self-described buffoon (it has a slightly loftier connotation in Italian) and TV personality. In 2003 she launched a weekly show of political satire called RaiOt - for the network that carried it, RAI Tre, and the English word Riot.

But as Sabina Wong, the charismatic owner of Hong Kong's newest and hippest swimwear boutique, says: "Once you find it, it's yours." Plenty of women have already made themselves at home in the store, which opened a few months ago on a narrow street just a short walk from the city's business district. They're drawn by Wong's plainspoken approach to selling swimming costumes: she'll take you by the hand and give you a frank...
...1930s walk-up building that houses Sabina Swims was formerly a hip art gallery, and it still shows: floorboards are stripped, ceilings are high, and jazz and cappuccino are on tap. Apart from Wong's signature line, you can expect to find fashionable international brands like Sexy Little Beach, Siddhartha and Kooshi. "Bikinis are a big deal," enthuses Wong. If Hong Kong women didn't know it before, they will...
