Valkyrie

The scene in 1992: a fitting at Calvin Klein, where Nadja Auermann, a 6-foot fashion Valkyrie, was trying on the nude-toned slip dress she was to model on the Klein runway. 

“She totally filled it out in this voluptuous way,” recalled Nian Fish, whose job as creative director of the KCD public-relations agency involved overseeing the proceedings. 

An instant later, a scrap of a girl emerged from behind the racks to shimmy into the same dress. “It was falling away from her body,” Fish said. “We put sandals on her, and the whole silhouette changed.” 

 The girl was Kate Moss, and her fragile air heralded the sea change that would do away with the excesses of the 1980s in favor of a stripped-down and louche approach to dress that would define the new decade.

White Rose

In LADY RAWHIDE #1, the masked heroine faces not only the corrupt forces of the government - bent on intimidating the populace through privation and cruelty, but also a new team of vigilantes known as the Sisters of the White Rose.  The Sisters, inspired by the legends of Zorro and Lady Rawhide, have taken up the struggle against tyranny.  While Lady Rawhide supports their goals, she cannot condone their bloody methods and finds herself facing off against her own devotees!

"Lady Rawhide is a thief, a bandit, a rogue," explains Eric Trautmann, writer of the five-part miniseries.  "But she exists in a time and place where, as a woman, society has strictly defined what her behaviour should be.  Her vigilante, Robin Hood-esque actions are subversive, and her overtly flamboyant costuming rejects those social conventions.  She's driven by a desire to control her environment on her terms… and society's encumbrances be damned."

Humid

Flamenco diva Soledad Barrio is the only woman onstage this time. Her company, Noche Flamenca, is halfway through its latest run at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, and hulking male figures surround her with their shadows.

The male singers are hoarse as if from breathing dust, the guitarists focused and alert, and the male dancers are tense, their heels striking the floor.

The atmosphere seems humid with their sweat and desperation. Clearly terrible things have happened: Lovers have been untrue; money has run out; people have been murdered. And worse can be expected. Flamenco thrives on such intimations of tragedy, expressing red streams of emotion.

Poles

The song may have been called "Party in the USA," but when Miley Cyrus recently treated her Teen Choice Awards audience to a pole dance atop an ice cream truck, dressed in extremely short shorts, black boots and a bra-revealing tank top, the general impression was that the party was taking place in a strip joint.

Mothers of little girls cringed: Who provided the pole? And since when do Miley's backup dancers gyrate like the Pussycat Dolls?

Then there is the August issue of Elle, which features America's favourite 16-year-old in a number of contrived poses. In one, she's in black stilettos, with an exposed midriff, striking a backbend-pelvic-thrust combo. On the cover, she's in a leather push-up bustier, her cleavage revealed.

The overall impression of the girl in these pictures is perhaps the opposite from what is intended: She projects not confident sexuality but confusion. Even when reclining on her back offering up her black thigh-high boots for inspection, Miley seems to be saying not "Take me!" but, "Do I really have to do this?"
