t1.WOMAN ARTIST OF THE MONTH: THE MAGICAL UNIVERSE OF HEATHER CORINA.14 Meet Heather Corina, one of the world's greatest photographers. She creates a cosmos of one million dimensions and parallel rainbows for those who in their daring thoughts and intimate theology, search for the beauty of our world, bodies, sensuality and the tabooed esthetics. A genius, a visionary and simply a woman who dares to be an Eve. Corina or the femme fatale of world photography.

Carlson. She runs one of the biggest privately held companies in America,
Carlson Companies, which she took over as chairman and chief executive when
her father, founder Curt Carlson died in 1999. Marilyn, 61, and her sister

a marketing, travel and hospitality company, Carlson has been hit by the
economic downturn and Sept. 11 terror attacks...

Hottest faces and bodies.
36.The
new list of women who made it big time this year. The new list of the most
attractive and hottest faces includes a puzzling variety of stars,
celebrities, media personalities, as well as female authors with impressive
academic credentials, ranging from super model Nikki Visser to Dr. Monica
Crowley, the most brilliant and prettiest face of the American media.
Beauty and brains are blending in unison.
Although, they have different personalities and colorful tempers, almost all
of them make millions in so many different ways and means.
t3.LA
CRÈME DE LA CRÈME
1.
Renate Aller: 39.
She photographs femme fatales, elegant women, the clouds, inexistent people
who make you think, and the infinity of nothingness. You see it in her shots
of lyrical and nostalgic skies, horizons, clouds, seascapes and ultra modern
installations.
t4.WOMEN IN THE ARTS. 47 2. Judy Hintz Cox: America’s first lady of progressive minimalism. Cox’s paintings are elegantly and intelligently composed, structured and balanced, yet, she is not restrained by an artistic dogmatic analysis.
t5.WOMEN IN MUSIC. 49
1.
It
seems
everybody wants to be a jazz singer nowadays. People of all ages turn up at
'open mic' sessions to perform their party piece. But why this sudden eruption
of would-be vocalists? Maybe because singing looks easier than playing an
instrument, although it isn't. Or maybe it's because there are so many good
jazz singers in Britain to inspire them. There's Stacey Kent, Tina May, Claire
Martin, Clare Teal, Barb Jungr, Anita Wardell, Sheena Davis...

FASHION
1. Despite the doe-eyed models, miles of muslin and yards of silk, the common man managed to catch and keep the spotlight at Brazil's biggest designer event, Sao Paulo Fashion Week. The watchwords at this year's event, were sales and jobs. An entire floor of the Sao Paulo Biennale Pavilion was transformed into a fashion salon, a polite word for a beehive of functional conference rooms where sales...

The
Magical and Surreal World of Theatrical Dance and Ballet...The religions of
ancient Greece and Rome are extinct now, but the gods and goddesses of Olympus
are still vibrant in our dreams and fragile hopes. The sublime deities came to
life through poetry, music and dance. They belonged to literature,
fantasy, art and dance. In the firmament of human imagination, they defined
their divine circle, and continued to hold it within the winds...

t11.UNDISCOVERED GREAT TALENTS: DIVAS IN THE MAKING. 89
It
is not an easy task to write about Sophia Dalle, nor to engage into a dialogue
with this macabre and translucent Diva in the making. She lives in a world we
are familiar with, and in a cosmos where only most daring thoughts,
phantasmagoric visions and idealism blend and fade in. She is idealistic, a
spiritual chic and abundant with multidimensional musical talent. She
interrupts you all the time, she rushes to freeze and free words of wisdom,
you wish you could totally understand, and she challenges your intellect, even
though, she disdains ivy league cum laude graduates who analyze everything in
life.

Woman's erotic presence as a pivotal necessity in art films and documentaries.
A secret stash of naughty silent films turned up in a Paris attic, and
producer Michel Reilhac knew he had to put them on the big screen.
Our great-grandparents were rather less
prudish than we might imagine. Decades before pornography became big business,
naughty French people were making dirty films for the fun of it. In The Good
Old Naughty Days, a collection of 12 silent films from the earliest years of
the 20th century, nuns, priests, teachers - even a dog - play out sexual
dramas in a wide variety of inventive positions, locations and logistical
arrangements...

Can't
Wait (Letters R.L.), Andrew Mummery Gallery, London, United Kingdom.
Awaiting the visitor to her first solo show in London for almost three years
are two significant developments in Maria Chevska's work. The first is the
introduction of objects into the gallery space, objects that the viewer has
to negotiate and which act as both an aid and a restriction to reading her
paintings...

GENIUSES.
148
Mary Phelps Jacob
,
Inventor of the Bra Design. In
1913, the first modern brassiere to be awarded a patented was invented by a
New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob. Mary had just purchased a sheer
evening gown for one of her social events. At that time, the accepted
undergarments were corsets, stiffened with whaleback bones and steel rods.
Mary found that the "whalebone-spocked" out visibly around the plunging
neckline and under the sheer fabric, so with two silk hankerchiefs and some
pink ribbon, the first bra was invented.

Tremblay is de facto, Canada's most sophisticated, elegant and captivating
cabaret Diva and "Femme Fatale".

Her voice is an explosion and implosion
of warmth, vocal virtuosity, seduction, truthful inner feelings and a magical
"Un Je Ne Sais Quoi?". You look at Lyne and the scent of a Parisian Diva of La
Belle Epoque or "Les Annees Folles" breath over you. You look at Lyne

t2.Wesla Whitfield made her own rules and enlarged the perimeter of performance excellence by sculpting an almost perfect sense of phrasing which magically and very tenderly reached the hearts and souls of multi-varied and demanding audiences. She brought to the traditional world of cabaret music, a very intimate, warm, pensive and personal musical and vocal interpretation which defied conventionalism. This delightful defying and charmingly innovative creativity is...
t23.ODDITIES AND CONTROVERSIES. 165
t1.Too
pretty and too sexy for Italian television. After decades of weather
bulletins presented by military colonels in full uniform, Italian television
got its first weather girls last September. But the outlook does not seem too
bright for the first to hit the airwaves, a former Miss Italy. She has already
run into trouble for being too sexy. Italian TV is infamous for its
scantily-clad girls, who are a regular feature - dancing, presenting or just
looking pretty - usually alongside a much older, less attractive male
presenter. But Eleonora Pedron, 21, proved there is such a thing as too sexy
for Italian TV when she was suspended for doing a rather raunchy magazine
spread in Capital magazine, sporting only a G-string.
t2. HOWARD STERN VS. OPRAH. 167 The American tabloid magazine reported that on March 18, millions of Americans watched an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, during which an O, The Oprah Magazine writer described in jawdropping detail, the latest fads in teen sex. Viewers learned that a "tossed salad," had little to do with healthy eating, but instead referred to oral sex to the anus. The guest went on to describe "rainbow" parties -- gatherings at which a gaggle of lipstick- wearing girls provide oral sex to one or more males. For this, declares shock jock Howard Stern, 50, Oprah should come under the same scrutiny as he has over his notoriously raunchy broadcasts. Since 1990, the Federal Communications Commission has levied fines, totaling close to $2 million, against Howard's show...

the transparent elegance of his form invades his complex intellect, Iliescu

ghastly accident — like an errant trail of loo paper — or a cunning ploy to

"You

book on world protocol and etiquette. And how you can you impress by
catching the moment in less than 3 seconds without saying a word? Simple:
Dress to kill. Dress for Success! Be Elegant and Refined. Elegance is the key.
Remember, nowadays stars don't create fashion anymore as did the femmes

TO WEAR WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT:
Even before you
get a proper 'bump' you may find your waist thickens, making it hard to fit
into your tightest clothes. You may be able to adapt your clothes for a
while - leaving the top button undone on trousers might be enough, and you
can hide the gap with a longer top. Lots of today's maternity clothes can be
worn after pregnancy, too, and some styles of normal clothes are well suited
to covering growing bumps.

Photographer of the Week t BARBARA SINGER
Barbara Singer
is de facto one of A ARTIST OF THE MONTH: KIKI SMITH tKiki Smith at The University Art Museum, University of California at Santa BarbaraOne of the most influential artists of her generation, Kiki Smith makes sculpture of and about the body in materials as diverse as bronze, paper, and wax. Ranging from fragments of the body to whole figures in the round, from the miniature to the monumental, from neutral or natural coloration to bright, unfamiliar hues, her sculptures are united by their sensual impact and their frank acceptance of corporeal reality. This exhibition, mixing a group of new works with examples of important recent pieces from Southern California collections in an installation designed by the artist, demonstrated the visceral qualities Smith can elicit from a variety of traditional and unusual mediums-evoking solid bodies in ostensibly fragile silk tissue or creating transitory visual effects in solid bronze. It also revealed her expressive scope: rather than argue a specific political interpretation or conform to a single way of suggesting meaning, Smith's art explores the diverse possibilities inherent in the body as subject and object, self and other. Kiki Smith, who was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1954, grew up in New Jersey and has lived in New York City since 1976. In the late 1970s and early 1980s she was associated with the artist's collective Collaborative Projects, Inc. (Colab), and participated in the celebrated Times Square Show of 1980. During that period she began to focus on the constituent parts of the human anatomy, a subject that continues to figure in her art. The product of a mature, established artist, the work in this exhibition functions on multiple levels. The best way to see it is without preconceptions, to approach each object as you would a new acquaintance, discovering gradually its personality, its nuances, its humor. We recommend that the viewer not seek--or trust--any fixed meaning or singular association: this is art that grows with time and a sign of its effectiveness is the sense that some of it remains provocative or mysterious.
