...have no plans to rush out and buy the latest $10,000 magazine-dress with matching velvet smoking glove hat. No, you're looking at these photos because you want to know what those madcap geniuses were up to at the haute-couture fashion shows in Paris last week. In a naked plea for publicity, Seredin and Vasilev unveiled a dress made from Vogue covers (left), as well as a knockoff of the classic Chanel suit done entirely in not-quite-body-covering pearls. Christian Lacroix appeared to take inspiration from the fluttery fashions of ice skaters (lower right), clashing...
...feminine, hourglass figure. Using design categories targeted to satisfy the needs of today's multifaceted woman, James' silk evening wear line has "fancy dress" appeal for formal wear, brides, bridesmaids and flower girls. Her wool jersey knits make a classy transition from the office to after work; and stretch velvets work for every day as well as parties and nightclubbing. An elegant emerald green glitter tank dress ($109) and its matching self-tie jacket with lettuce edging along the sleeves and hem ($79) can be coordinated with an emerald green velvet ensemble in girls' sizes from infant ($25/dress and $25/jacket...

...doesn't sound ready to make Bush pay for the delays. But this is the United States Supreme Court. They can do a lot to buy time, especially with the nation expecting - and arguably deserving - a high-minded solution from its highest court. They can agree to lift the velvet rope of the December 12 deadline, put the bouncers in the Florida legislature on hold until the 17th or so, and get nearly any hand count that suits them begun and finished with days to spare. A little conservative activism might be just what the founding fathers would have wanted...
