SPECIAL HOLY LAND REPORT: Franciscans and the Holy Land
Interview With Vicar of Custody
JERUSALEM, MARCH 14, 2005 (Zenit) - The Custody of the Holy Land was the first to promote dialogue and peace in the Middle East, a mission the Franciscans continue today, says a religious.
The Custody is part of the Order of Friars Minor that maintains 26 holy sites that represent the fundamental stages of the life of Christ and the Holy Family.
Father Artemio Vitores, vicar of the Custody, has been in the Holy Land for 34 years. The Custody today is composed of 200 Franciscans from 35 nations.
In this interview, Father Vitores talks about the development and mission of the Custody over the centuries.
Q: What legacy did St. Francis leave in the Holy Land?
Father Vitores: The destruction of the Holy Sepulcher by Caliph Hakim in A.D. 970 opened the doors to the age of the Crusades, that is, to war and blood. St. Francis preferred to conquer the holy sites through the method of dialogue.
His first rule, "Non Volata," says: "Brothers who go to the Holy Land must not engage in litigation or disputes, must be at the service of all, and manifest with their life that they are Christians."
If moved by the Spirit, they preached. This attitude allowed them to be free to move in Mameluk territories.
Q: Was Francis, then, the first to use the weapon of dialogue?
Father Vitores: He was the first to use the weapon of dialogue and love at the time of the Crusades. The Franciscans desired to be at the service of all, Christians and Muslims, and showed that they had a modern universalistic spirit ahead of their time.
The protection of the holy sites was the fundamental reason for the Franciscan presence in the Holy Land, which they exercised through enormous difficulties and conflicts. The Franciscans initiated a social service of assistance and formation around the sites.
In the reception hall of our convent, there are five paintings that exemplify the Franciscans' mission in the Holy Land. Among these, there are two portraits of Robert of Anjou and Sancha of Majorca, sovereigns of Naples, who acquired the Cenacle from the Sultan of Egypt in 1333, and gave it to the Franciscans, who established their first monastery there.
In 1342, Pope Clement IV institutionalized the mission of the Franciscan Custody in the Holy Land.
When Pope John Paul II went to Nazareth in 2000, he said that God's providence willed that St. Francis, the saint of peace, dialogue and love, protect the holy sites.
Q: We return to the Franciscans' social mission. In what does it consist?
Father Vitores: The Franciscans sought to provide instruction, work and a home. Around the churches that were erected next to the holy sites, they opened schools, artisan workshops and built housing. In this mission, which still continues today, the Franciscans were the vanguard in a region of Muslim majority.
In 1520, they opened the first school, while the Turks, who dominated the Holy Land for four centuries until World War I, opened their first school in 1892. In 1808, the Franciscans decided that non-Catholic boys, namely Orthodox, not be obliged to become Catholics to study in their schools.
In 1841, they instituted the first girls' school in the Holy Land, while the first Jewish girls' school was instituted in 1864, and the first Muslim girls' school in 1892.
From 1925 to 1948, our Holy Land College welcomed Christians, Muslim and Jews anticipating modern ecumenism. In 1957, the Franciscans introduced in their schools the study of the Koran, that is, before the Second Vatican Council.
The Franciscans had an important role also in the promotion of languages. In our parochial schools Italian and French was taught, training translators and guides, while our press published in Arabic, contributing to its rescue from decadence in Palestine. The Franciscans opened mother-of-pearl and olive oil workshops and promoted other arts and trades. In addition, they constructed accommodations for needy Christians.
Q: Of what does the protection of the holy sites consist?
Father Vitores: Conservation and restoration, archaeological and biblical study of the veracity of the sites, reconstruction, appreciation of the spirituality of the sites and of their fruitfulness.
Q: The status quo regulates life at the Holy Sepulcher and the Basilica of the Nativity. Is there no other interreligious institution that regulates the religious sites, such as the mixed commission of Christians, Muslims and Jews proposed by Lord Balfour, the British foreign secretary, in 1922?
Father Vitores: This is a sore point and religions have not made the necessary efforts to overcome the division that still exists among them. Meetings are organized, but a ...

Fear is nothing compared to the feeling of never trying
Dating and job interviewing have so many similarities. Both require you to sell yourself by separating yourself from the masses. First you fill out a profile. Then once it has been read you get an email alert for an initial phone screening. The phone call determines how articulate and polite you come off. Next might be the live interview / date. I trust what you say is accurate. I appreciate men who are honest. If you falsely advertise yourself then that speaks to your character in which I have no tolerance and won't date you the second time around. After honesty I'm looking for someone who is fun, hardworking, motivated and passionate. I care about people, have good intentions and treat people how I like to be treated. I am a pharma rep and feel passionate about helping sick patients enhance their quality of life. I work hard each day to ensure myself a healthy lifestyle. I run, lift and eat clean. I see so many people everyday who have compromised their health and it makes me sad. They suffer from hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and overall fatigue. Please be physically fit or at least getting back into it. Smoking is a huge turnoff. I am fit, not a bodybuilder with huge biceps, but I am toned. As for looks I don't have a specific hair or eye color but I'm attracted to a face that has a genuine smile and radiates confidence. My father's doctor friends say a successful drug rep must be pretty and smart. They tell my dad I have both. Let me know if you agree?

(like the Asus TF-201 belonging to mdpi and getting a too-small icon. it's an xlarge screen). Personally, I believe it's affected by screen size, although common sense dictates dpi already contains screen size in it. What can one do to properly determine the icon size to show on any device home screen? (HowTos)

Calgary Flames center Olli Jokinen has undergone surgery on a torn abdominal muscle. The NHL club said in a statement that Jokinen played through the injury late in the season after first experiencing discomfort March 22 in a game against Minnesota. His operation was done Tuesday in Philadelphia. Rehabilitation is expected to last three to four weeks and a full recovery is expected. The 33-year-old Jokinen is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1. The Finn played all 82 games of the regular season and had 23 goals and 38 assists.

I knew before I even started her Realm that I'd hate it, I mean, it's set in a VOLCANO for Nayru's sake! When has a Volcano in a Zelda Game EVER been easy to climb?(don't count Dragon Roost Island, I'm talking the kind that spit fire at you like Death Mountain) And add a difficult hide-and-seek trial that's timed... well, It's not gonna be easy
Omg ikr! My dad thought I was hurt or something cause every time they got me, I could scream.

Milan's Kaka has been subject of a transfer to Chelsea. The news is that new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has his sights set on completing a record move of 100 million Euros for the Brazilian who made his national debut when Scolari was Brazil manager.
Kaka's agent fuelled the speculation by saying that Kaka would play at Chelsea, saying that the Blues are investing cash and want to win everything. And Kaka himself said that his future is still unclear.
Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani made it clear that Kaka is not for sale and that Chelsea's record-breaking bid has been rejected by the Rossoneri.
Kaka is seen as a hero at Milan; he is currently the best player in the Milan squad, and the fans would certainly want him to stay. Having already seen the Andriy Shevchenko move from Milan to Chelsea turn into an awful deal for both the London club and player, Kaka should think twice before moving from a team where he is seen as a hero to the three-time English Premier League winners.
Scolari seems to want everyone; and I can't blame him. With a 250 million Pound budget, he can buy pretty much every good footballer he wants. Chelsea already have many options in midfield; with Deco, Michael Ballack, Inter-target Frank Lampard, and Michael Essien, it is hard to imagine a team with those midfielders plus Kaka, all who play in the center.
Kaka might be set for a switch to Chelsea:
- Would it be a good move for Kaka? Can Ronaldinho fill his gap-if he leaves?
- Can Kaka take his magic to the tough Premier League?
- Isn't a 100 million offer too good to refuse even for arguably the best footballer in the world?
Have Your Say!
A series that starts debate among the Bleacher community!

Robert Wilkinson Furnas (May 5, 1824 – June 1, 1905) was the second Governor of Nebraska .
Furnas was born near Troy, Ohio, and attended public school. He worked as a farmer, printer, tinsmith, insurance salesman and postmaster. He married Mary Elizabeth McComas on October 29, 1845, who died in 1897; and his second was Susannah Emswiler Jameson. He had eight children.[1]
Furnas came to Nebraska in 1856 at the age of thirty-two. Two months later he published the Nebraska Advertiser, a publication advertising the agricultural opportunities found in Nebraska. He also published the Nebraska Farmer, the first agricultural publication out of Nebraska.
In 1856 and 1858, Furnas was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Nebraska Territory. He served as the public printer for the Nebraska Territory in 1857. In 1861, he was the chief clerk of the Territorial Council.
Civil War[edit]
During the Civil War, Furnas became a colonel in the territorial militia, which was loyal to the Union (American Civil War). In 1862 he commanded three Indian regiments aligned with the Union Army and captured the Cherokee Indian chief John Ross.
Postbellum Career[edit]
After the war, Furnas served as Indian agent for the Omaha, Winnebago, and Ponca tribes. He was a member of the University of Nebraska board of regents from 1869 to 1875,[2] first president of the Nebraska State Historical Society from 1878 to 1890, United States commissioner to the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, United States Commissioner to the New Orleans Cotton Centennial and United States commissioner to the Chicago Columbian Exposition.
Furnas served as President of the American Fair Association, President of the State Board of Agriculture, President of the State Horticultural Society, Fourth Grand Master of Masons of Nebraska AF&AM from 1865 to 1866, and First President of the Nebraska Teachers Association.
Furnas secured the Republican nomination, and was elected governor by popular vote. He served as Governor of Nebraska from 1873 to 1875.[3]
Furnas died in 1905 and is interred in Walnut Grove Cemetery in Brownville, Nebraska.[4]
Furnas helped to create Arbor Day when he was governor.
Furnas County, Nebraska, is named in his honor.[5][6]

Internet Real Estate, Art and Power: The cases of Artsy and .art
The forthcoming introduction of generic top-level domains (gTLDs)—which will replace the .com or .net suffix with specific words or terms, such as .food, .movies, or .microsoft—poses new speculative opportunities as dizzying as those of Zola's 19th-century Paris.

Harper Reed: Changing Politics and Technology
Harper Reed will participate in Rhizome's Seven On Seven Conference on Saturday, April 20th, paired with artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
On Reed's website (subheaded "Probably one of the coolest guys ever," by the way), alongside the bio, blog, flickr stream (don't be surprised there isn't an Instagram feed, the man's not mainstream), and blog, there is also a "books" section. Apparently, for the past ten years, Reed documents all the good books he read. And he reads a lot, "without rhyme or reason," according to him. No one would be amazed to discover that The Catcher in the Rye, Herman Hesse's Siddharta, or Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus made the list. Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke are even more obvious. But John Medina's "Brain Rules" series—Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School and Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from Zero to Five—may catch you a little off guard. And Ayn Rand's Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and The Virtue of Selfishness are even more of a surprise.

Tauba Auerbach, RGB Colorspace Atlas. (2011)
I once heard Leon Botstein, the President of Bard College, compare books to stairs. "They've invented the elevator," he said, "but sometimes you still walk up." There are countless discussions on the future of the book—they are picked up in magazine feature articles, in trade conferences, and in academic roundtables—and in all of these, the future of the printed word seems certain: in a generation or two, print will become obsolete. In this age of changing habits, if print is the stairs and screens the elevator, then what could the escalator be?
This moment in time, and the awareness of the possibilities electronic publishing grant, affect the manner in which we relate to texts in a way that is under constant scrutiny. But images prove to be a different problem. The separation between text and images has a long history. In fact, images have posed a challenge for publishers from the early days of print—be it the cost of printing them; the payments for illustrators, photographers, and designers; or simply contextualizing the images and their relation to the text—but they have become crucial to our understanding of texts. When the Illustrated London News, the world's first illustrated weekly newspaper, began publishing in 1842, the relationship between the text and the engraved images in the paper was such a novelty that it took the weekly about a decade to stake a hold in that era's news distribution channels. Once it did, it became one of the most widely circulated newspapers in Victorian Britain. The marriage of text and the engraved image marked a new level of fluency in communication via images, which does away with staples of early print day, even though the separation between image and text lasted for many decades later, and can still be traced today. (Think, for example, of the plate pages, where color images were glued onto the paper, so that the book or magazine would be printed in black and white, adding the color pages later in a way that saves money on printing, but also generates a wholly different relationship with images. These are often associated with encyclopedias, but a large number of artist's monographs retained this design even after color printing became widely accessible, creating the odd text-image relationship where an artwork is described to the most minute detail, with a comment in parenthesis directing the reader to "color plate 3," where the mentioned piece could be seen in glossy print.)
The generations to come of age in the days of digital publishing and reading on screens have a much more complicated relationship with images. The human eye-brain system is capable of reading a large number of high quality images in a matter of split seconds, and this, alongside the hand-eye coordination—think about the pleasure of a touch screen versus inky newspaper pages—is rapidly developing to mirror our changing habits of consuming information. So much so that the contemporary heightened sensitivity to the way we read images can lead to an ability to, at times, ignore the quality of the images when inserted into a text, the way our brain glides over a typo in the flow of reading. The way we read images online is only one thing these magazines deal with in the process of publishing, but it is surely an element that dictates a large portion of the reading experience of these publications.
Artist Profile: Juliette Bonneviot
Your works bring together many strands of visual culture. Your paintings, for example, interpose art history, design, the natural world, and gaming. What does your image research look like? In a recent piece for Rhizome, Karen Archey wrote that your sensitivity is emblematic of the internet age, where all images are created equal. Do you think your work is affected by this characteristic of the internet? Does it mirror it?
Yes, I think my work mirrors this characteristic of the internet age, which also is reflected in and conditions my research process.
This conditioning applies not only to images but to information in general, I treat the two as the same. This flattening of values allows me to make art historical and sociological connections that scholars wouldn't necessarily consider making. However, I don't view my research process as a new thing relevant only to the internet age.
I'm also interested in comparing the idea of wandering through images and informations on the web to Walter Benjamin's idea of the flâneur and his experience of modernity. The term describes the experience of leisurely walking through urban space while observing various aesthetic and sociological patterns in the XIXth century Paris.
Recently I came across an article by Evgeny Morozov called "The Death of the Cyberflâneur," adressing this same parallel with Benjamin's flâneur and explaining how the cyberflâneur would disappear for similar reasons as those of the XIXth century flâneur—the internet becoming more and more enclosed in the world of social media, shopping activities, or separated apps. Benjamin also explains how the flânerie got caught in being conditioned by the economy and the market when the recently born commercial strategies of that time started using the flâneur and his casual attitude as a marketing tool. Benjamin notices ...

Are Food Allergy-Friendly/Gluten Free Menus Lulling You Into a False Sense of Security?
As readers of the AllergyEats Blog and other members of our community are surely aware, food allergies have skyrocketed in recent years. At the same time, there has been a surge in demand for gluten free foods, due to both medical and lifestyle reasons. Therefore, many restaurants have been introducing allergy-friendly and gluten free menus to satisfy this new customer demand.
While seemingly beneficial on the surface, there are hidden pitfalls to this trend. Don't assume that restaurants offering gluten free menus and allergen lists must be safer and more educated about food allergies and intolerances than restaurants without similar menus and lists. The converse is also true. A restaurant without gluten free and/or allergy-friendly menus can be allergy-friendly and accommodating, so don't assume otherwise. In fact, four of ten restaurants recognized on our Annual List of the Most Allergy-Friendly Restaurants don't provide an allergy or gluten-free menu.
With the abundance of allergen lists and gluten free menus appearing in restaurants nationwide, please keep these tips in mind:
- Don't assume. Sometimes, food-allergic and food-intolerant diners get a false sense of security after seeing a specific menu for dairy free, nut free, or gluten free dishes, thinking the restaurant must really understand food allergies and intolerances. After all, restaurants wouldn't offer special menus if they didn't truly "get" food allergies, right? Wrong. Restaurants create what potential customers want, including allergen and gluten free menus and lists. It helps attract diners from the food allergy community and, therefore, is good for their business. However, in this case, what's good for a restaurant's business doesn't necessarily equate to what's good for the food allergy community. While some restaurants with allergy menus are very accommodating and educated about food allergies, others aren't. Never make assumptions, and don't let your guard down. Regardless of whether restaurants have special allergen menus, continue asking questions and communicating about your food allergies everywhere, every time.
- Engage in conversation. If you assume that a particular restaurant is knowledgeable about food allergies based solely on their allergy-friendly or gluten free menu, you may be more lax about talking to their staff about your dietary restrictions, relying solely on the menu instead. This is dangerous! Suppose you're allergic to dairy and you see a hamburger listed on the dairy free menu. You may feel comfortable ordering the hamburger, figuring that it's "safe" for you to eat because it's on the special allergen menu. But it's still critical to communicate your allergies with your server, the manager and/or the chef. If you don't specifically mention your dairy allergy, you leave yourself susceptible to substitutions (perhaps the restaurant is using different buns that day), cross contamination (the burger may be cooked where a cheeseburger was just made), and other unexpected issues (the bun may be buttered as standard protocol on that restaurant's "regular" menu). If you don't make the staff aware of your allergy – even if they're capable of accommodating it – you may inadvertently receive a meal that contains your allergen.

Mom, cops seek clues in unsolved 1992 slay
A Peabody mother wants justice and closure, as police and prosecutors seek the public's assistance in a 20-year-old murder case that turned cold.
Twenty years ago today, Susan Taraskiewicz, then 27, left her job at what was then Northwest Airlines at Logan airport to buy lunch for her co-workers at a nearby sandwich shop, and never returned.
"I want justice for her, and I want the closure and peace for my family and myself," Marlene Taraskiewicz, 70, said about the 1992 murder of her daughter.

The Future is at the mercy of this little girl.
|There is a new girl in school. She is beautiful, charming, and to some scary. Her name is Misa, a mysterious loner who seems to bring pain and death to those around her. When the school explodes with supernatural activity, many of colleagues are quick to point the finger. Is this powerful young witch the one who is wreaking havoc, or will she protect her mistrusting schoolmates in the face of this unknown danger?
Editor's NoteMisa Kuroi, a cute high school girl and good witch, never dreamed that when she transferred to a new school, she would become embroiled in a battle to the death with supernatural forces. When Misa and 12 other girls (one of whom has a lesbian affair with a teacher) stay after school to prepare for an exam, they become trapped by a mysterious supernatural demon. A robed figure murders the girls one by one in order to create a gateway for a demon to manifest itself. Initially, the other girls blame Misa for the horrific occurrences, and Misa must use all her magical skills to prevent the evil force from completing its mission. However, when her skills are tested as never before, will she survive?

Pizza Class & Itallian Cooking in Emeryville
Last Friday I went to the Neapolitan Pizza class at Ramekins by Rosetta. It was a good class and I learned a few things.
She made a nice thin crust pizza. One of my favorite pizzas was the caramelized onion and potato. The other was a pizza where you cook the dough with a pesto of garlic and parsley, then pull out the dough cooked, after that you top it like a salad with arugala,cherry tomatoes, and prosciutto. Very good and refreshing.
Pizza con Patate
(Sliced Roasted potatoes with rosemary, onions, fontina, gorgonzola)
Pizza al Crudo
(Cherry tomatoes, Prosciutto, Arugula, shaved parmigiano)
I also learned I still can not toss dough very well. I was in awe when I saw the video of the fellow on this list who worked in a pizza joint for 10 years (sorry forgot your name) toss that dough back and forth. I think he is from Texas? One of these days! Just takes practice I guess. If anyone could send me a link to that video I would like to see it again. I did a search and could not find it.
Here is a link to other classes she gives in Emeryville on the east side of the Bay Bridge. Just in case anyone was interested.
Welcome to Cooking with Rosetta
I would like to take the eggplant class but it is sold out... Next time.

Turns out a tummy may be more than just an obstacle to skinny jeans: abdominal fat speeds up cellular aging.
The cancer was detected during an abdominal scan in October 2003, as Fortune magazine reported in a 2008 cover story.
The HFCS-fed animals also had increases in abdominal fat and triglycerides.

Am I crazy? Sorry for the length and rant...I'm just overwhelmed by differing opinions and scared of ending up with both procedures.
Any advice? TIA! :)
Welcome to my world, I feel the same as you do. My OB told me that I would be an :ideal candidate: for a vaginal delivery, but I may end up with a c-section for either one or both of the twins. I'm freaking out. I was just told this last week at my appointment. I know that the risk of a double whammy is something like 3% but the unknown is driving me crazy! I'm also not happy that I have to have an epidural. I've never had one before and the though terrifies me. I'm looking forward to seeing the BTDT moms responses :)

I would have absolutely preferred vaginal (even if I ended up with a section for B, but the doctor told me that is rarely needed). Both of my were breech and their butts in a V on my cervix, so my only option was C-section. Vaginal is not nearly as bad as it's made out to be and any issues are pretty much gone when they come out (at least they were for me). With a C-section you ALWAYS have the incision to heal (and the incisions both internal and external hurt for awhile and pain meds are required). There's also a much greater risk of other complications. I've been in the hospital twice since my boys were born 6 weeks ago.

Both of mine were born vaginal. They were both head down.It was a wondeful delivery no surgery.

I was one of the unlucky few to have the double whammy, and I agree with Kate. The whammy part is the c-section. Yes, emergency c/s like mine are often harder to recover from, but even planned c/s are major surgery.
Even though my birth wasn't ideal, I'm still really happy I tried for a vaginal delivery. It almost worked perfectly, and in the end we were all safe and healthy.
I've gone on to have two VBACs (vaginal birth after c/s), and the recovery was so much different. Granted they were singletons, not twins, but not having an abdominal incision was amazing.
All births have risks and potential complications. You just have to get informed and make the best decision you can for your birth. No matter what you decide, I wish you all the best with your pregnancy, your delivery, and your twins. :)

Ego and Excess: Lives In Fashion
By Joanna Scutts
Can't get enough of┬ĀNew York Fashion Week? If youŌĆÖve been eagerly refreshing online slideshows, squinting to identify the starlets in the front row, and mentally assembling the perfect outfit to get snapped by the street-style bloggers outside Lincoln Center, weŌĆÖve rounded up the best biographies and memoirs to feed your fashion frenzy. Whether youŌĆÖre looking for coffee-table-worthy galleries of gorgeous gowns, or dirt-dishing memoirs best enjoyed with a martini in hand, these books let you peek behind the scenes of this back-scratching, back-stabbing industry, guided by the designers, models, and muses who have witnessed its excesses firsthand.
"Stylemakers"┬Āby Marcia Sherrill and Carey Adina Karmel,┬Āis a collection of interviews with nearly 100 fashion insiders and influencers, many of whom -- like trend forecaster Li Edelkoort, stylist LŌĆÖWren Scott, and LVMH mogul Bernard Arnault -- will be unknown to all but the most avid followers of fashion. The result is an illuminating tour of the multitude of roles that make up the billion-dollar production of high style. The authors categorize their subjects in worshipful terms: ŌĆ£ProphetsŌĆØ includes creative directors and trend forecasters, those visionaries who are able to predict what colors and shapes weŌĆÖll be clamoring for a year from now; ŌĆ£GurusŌĆØ are those who communicate those visions by photographing and writing about new looks; while the business leaders, marketers and deal-makers in ŌĆ£PlayersŌĆØ grease the wheels and get things done. Enriched by striking photography and inventive design, this impressive hardcover is both an insiderŌĆÖs tour and a visual treat.
Even the most forward-looking trend-tracker in fashion has to know her history and pay due respect to the industryŌĆÖs icons. The legendary Gabrielle ŌĆ£CocoŌĆØ Chanel has been the subject of several biographies; among these, Isabelle FiemeyerŌĆÖs "Intimate Chanel"┬Āstands out for the authorŌĆÖs unique access to ChanelŌĆÖs surviving family. Fiemeyer worked with Gabrielle Palasse-Labrunie, the designerŌĆÖs goddaughter and great-niece, who gives a personal recollection of her ŌĆ£Auntie CocoŌĆØ and reveals the secrets of the people and possessions Chanel loved. The book is a trove of previously unpublished photographs of both the designer and of the jewelry, clothes, and personal effects that hint at her inner life -- such as a private chapbook of spiritual quotations given to her by her longtime love, Arthur Edward ŌĆ£BoyŌĆØ Capel. Offering a less lavish and celebratory version of ChanelŌĆÖs life, but one filled with historical intrigue, Hal VaughanŌĆÖs sensational "Sleeping with the Enemy" delves into military archives to uncover the dark history of ChanelŌĆÖs collaboration with the occupying Nazis and her postwar escape from prosecution in France. He creates a complex and often shocking picture, of a tough-minded survivor that will challenge any hero-worship.
A different kind of shock value is on display in Elsa SchiaparelliŌĆÖs autobiography,┬Āin which the designer known for her Surrealist influences looks back at a life lived in the forefront of visual experiment and fashion ferment in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Schiaparelli, known as ŌĆ£Schiap,ŌĆØ worked with artists such as Salvador Dal├¼ and Alberto Giacometti to rethink the possibilities of fashion design, and among other innovations is credited with the invention of the shoulder pad and the color that adorns her book, ŌĆ£shocking pink.ŌĆØ SchiaparelliŌĆÖs "Shocking Life," first published in 1954, is a colorful, racy, and self-mythologizing account of her stubborn rise from poor beginnings in Rome to the pinnacle of the fashion world.
Designers, of course, are not the only ones with fashion stories to tell, and it may be the models and muses, who see outrageous creative egos up close, who can dish up the best ones. In fashionŌĆÖs hedonistic heyday, the 1980s and 1990s era of Calvin Klein and Cindy Crawford, Bruce Hulse was a superstar male model. Boosted into the stratosphere by an early collaboration with legendary photographer Bruce Weber, and riding high on sculpted abs and chiseled cheekbones, Hulse was both a spectator and a player in a game of excess. In "Sex, Love, and Fashion," he tells his life story in a voice thatŌĆÖs simple and disarming, making no pretension to great literature but sharing some great gossip.
In four decades, 60s It-Girl Vicky Tiel has lived more fashion lives than most of her rivals, from starting her own line, running a boutique in Paris, making friends with Liz Taylor, and marrying a top Hollywood make-up artist. Her book "ItŌĆÖs All About the Dress" is an entertaining scrapbook of those experiences, with chapters including ŌĆ£Hanging with Miles Davis,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Dinner with Coco Chanel,ŌĆØ and ŌĆ£The Art of Survival.ŌĆØ There are lessons in seduction from Warren Beatty and style tips from the author, who continues to dress Hollywood stars. ItŌĆÖs a thrilling and exhausting ride, enough to make you content with an ordinary, unfashionable life -- at least until next season.
