...Sequins, satin, but too little soul-that was the way some London critics saw former Supreme Diana Ross last week. Ross, who is now appearing on the screen as the star of Mahogany, appeared on the stage of the New Victoria Theater with a 30-piece orchestra, three dancers and a back-up singing group. "She looked lovely, moved beautifully, but sang with only a two-dimensional plastic perfection," carped the Guardian. Said the critic from the Daily Mirror: "The lady has no depth." Maybe not, but audiences bought up every ticket for the singer's three-day London...
...woman of leisure. It's a mother, a daughter, Ms. America at large. It is someone tall and skinny and someone not so tall and not so thin. When I sit and do the collection, I think of everybody." Not for every body, obviously, is his black satin "Savage" swimsuit (see cover), a spectacular $60 loincloth that at least four other designers claim to have brought out before Halston. In 1973, the Norton Simon conglomerate bought the Halston label for about $12 million; Halston Enterprises, which includes more than a dozen franchising businesses, did $90 million retail last year...
Wholesome as milk and doughnuts, the waiter scoots by, gathering used ashtrays and empty glasses on the way.

He weaves between tables and chairs like a pro headed for that...
...playmates, a brawny quartet of swans who differ vastly in shape and size, galumph through the imaginary forest. Disdainfully, the Black Rhinestone of Russian Ballet-as Karpova is called in the program notes-sinks into a deep arabesque penché, her broad washboard chest straining under her satin bodice...
Starched Tutus. Dance's new girl, it seems, is a guy-Antony Bassae. Along with the nine other "ballerinos" of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, Bassae performs in satin toe shoes and starched tutus. The Trock less than two years ago started in Manhattan Soho lofts and neighborhood shoebox theaters. This week it makes a leap into respectability with a four-night stand at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In addition to aiming choreographic broadsides at such sacred swans as George Balanchine ("Go for Barocco") and Martha Graham ("Phaedra/Monotonous"), the Trock delivers a few pointed comments on Tchaikovsky...
