...repeatedly....and that she escaped and formed her own gang, and, by and by, returned to the upper-caste village and took her revenge. It is said she presided over a massacre there of 22 men. They made a movie about her wild, romantic youth - Devi seen with rifle slung across her back, galloping hell for leather across the Gangetic plain...
...stylists and marketers. That's a necessity in a business where there are no seasons, only tsunami-size fashion trends that breeze through in weeks, months or, like, whenever. And when it comes to knowing exactly which shade of beige Tokyo's trendsetters want to wear and how low-slung they want their jeans, those teen-targeted labels recruit heavily from among the karisuma tenin (charismatic salesgirls) of the Shibuya 109 building.

But it's hard to get much more than a hint of how much really good furniture was being made...
...Susanna and the Elders,” one of this year’s newcomers to the museum, a very fleshy Susanna lounges between a pair of men who peer at her connivingly. In the interpretation by Marie Ellison of the Falmouth Garden Club, a low-slung arc of coral lilies seamlessly follows the line of Susanna’s body, while a flurry of cream chrysanthemums echoes her scanty drapery. On the right and left, dramatic waves of budding larkspur and lavender freesia descend upon the central flowers like the leering old men. These literal interpretations seem to offer...
