...Great Britain. So entertaining was the performance that Wintour was even seen to remove her signature sunglasses. Indeed, the band is now penciled in to play a Vogue-sponsored benefit at the Met later this year. And who could blame her for succumbing to the strummings of the stringed septet? Just to say the word ukulele forces a smile. The name is almost certainly Hawaiian - it allegedly comes from the islanders' word for "jumping flea," bestowed after a 19th century Loh and Behold Avant-garde murals and imaginative furnishings characterise a new Singapore hotel Identity Parade An iconic style magazine...

Their egotism and low-brow fixations are still catnip to French comedy fans even though their debut film hit the screens a full 28 years ago. Their second - and only other - sortie into cinema, Les Bronzés Go Skiing, released a year later...
...around to other work, including seven children's books about a place called Narnia. Ninety-five million Narnia books have been sold since then, and as Disney begins test screenings for its December release of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, based on the series' first volume, the septet is back near the top of the children's best-seller lists...
