In his latest London outing, he sank his catwalk under a few inches of water. The models maneuvered well, but when he took his bow, the maestro looked like a cat on a hot tinny puddle...
Ackerman is known for his searing wit, plump figure and distinctive residence (he lives on a houseboat on the Potomac named Unsinkable II--after Unsinkable I, which sank). He sits on the International Relations Committee, and pays a great deal of attention to foreign policy.
