Politics of Fashion: Styles of McCain, Obama, Palin
What the Clothes Say About the Women of the 2008 Presidential Campaign
Fashionistas haven't had this much to say about political wardrobes since Jackie Kennedy inhabited the White House.
That's because three of the women on the front lines of the 2008 presidential race -- Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin -- all dress with their own sense of style, even if, in the case of Palin, it's anti-style.
Palin herself told Vogue magazine, "A reporter once asked me about it [her appearance] during the campaign, and I assured him I was trying to be as frumpy as I could by wearing my hair on top of my head and these schoolmarm glasses." ....

Close race expected in Fourth District
Westport Minuteman
Voters in our area aren't as familiar with Democratic Congressional candidate Jim Himes as well they were with Diane Farrell, Westport's former First Selectwoman who ran against 20-year incumbant Congressman Christopher Shays in 2006 and 2004.
....Farrell, who ran forceful, intelligent campaigns but who was up against Shays' well-tended reputation as a political moderate who takes middle-of-the-road or liberal stands on issues like the environment, women's rights, and so on.
This year, Himes has the advantage of a strong presidential candidate, Barack Obama, at the top of the Democratic ticket, and a generalized intense dislike among the electorate for the Bush administration and its various failings.
In a recent interview with Minuteman editors and reporters, Himes noted that he opposed America's involvement in the Iraq war, which Shays has strongly supported.
But Himes' main focus was on the economy. He noted that people are concerned and insecure whatever their income level or station in life. Himes, a Greenwich resident, is a former investment banker with Goldman Sachs who now works for a "green" not-for-profit agency that builds affordable houses.
... Ever since the reapportionment following the 2000 census, the Fourth District has included more towns in northern Fairfield County that are Republican and rather conservative.
Shays has been in Congress since defeating Democrat Christine Neidermeier in an election to fill the vacancy created by the death of Congressman Stewart McKinney, father of current State Sen. John McKinney.
Like Shays, Stewart McKinney was a Republican moderate whose views closely matched the district.

...Fairfield County rises to many challenges, and in the midst of a national trend of volunteerism descending over the past three years, Southern Connecticut once again is standing tall, increasing its number of volunteers, Jennifer Flatow, volunteer coordinator of Greenwich's Family Centers said.
While the number of volunteers nationwide decreased from 65 million to 60.8 between 2005 and 2007, Flatow pointed out, Family Center's time-givers increased to nearly 2,000 people ranging from ages 10 to 70, with hits highest concentration of volunteers working within the education program. The rise of 100 new volunteers may not be significant on the grand scale, Flatow said, but for the center to increase its numbers is still significant.
"If you work for an organization that is a nonprofit in a community with other nonprofits, you tend to see a trend in the opposite direction." Flatow said with a sense of pride. "
People here are invested in their community." .....

Greenwich Connecticut Encounters India In Terrence McNally's comedy A Perfect Ganesh
"Here I am, a god walking amongst men." Bob Gruen is not being boastful; he is just describing his role as the Indian elephant-god Ganesha in Terrence McNally's A Perfect Ganesh. "He is not an all-knowing god but one who is dumbfounded by the behavior of human beings. He listens, feels for them, and tries to understand their foibles. In this play, India is a mirror that allows people to see into themselves - things they couldn't see at home in their day-to-day lives. They bump up against something radically different. It shakes them up. Who the hell am I? It's the internal journey we're on that McNally is bringing onto the stage.".....
... A Perfect Ganesh is the funny and deeply moving story of two middle aged suburban women from Greenwich, Conn., traveling without their husbands for the first time, whose encounter with India profoundly shakes them and ...
...They are an ill-matched pair of friends. Margaret is determined to be in control and to be respected as a seasoned traveler and a cultivated woman, despite her apprehension about flying and visiting India for the first time. She has read the guide books from cover to cover. Her naïve and boisterous companion, Katharine, on the other hand, is ready to plunge blindly into this new world and be enlightened. Their conflicting ways of dealing with the experience exasperates Margaret, strains the relationship, and leads to laughable and revealing situations. Each, however, has her own unresolved tragedy, and before they are through they will have to uncover their hearts and reach out to one another in unexpected ways. .....

Terrence McNally is among the leading dramatists in America today. His many plays include Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Love! Valor! Compassion!, Ragtime, and Master Class. He has won four Tony awards. He claims A Perfect Ganesh to be one of his favorite plays.....

No Place Like Dome
New York Post
As the Post first reported earlier this week, fashion icon Tommy Hilfiger is about to list his Plaza apartment for $50 million.
Since then, we've gotten the skinny on the high-end crib with the fat asking price in the still surreal, high-end Manhattan market.
Located in the northeast dome on the 18th and 19th floors of the famed building, the eight-room duplex features amazing Central Park views and ceiling heights up to 20 feet. There's also a north-facing private terrace (one of only two terraces in the building) off the master bedroom where you can scream, "I'm king of the world!" and few will argue.
The approximately 6,000-square-foot residence, which includes four bedrooms, 4½ baths, a formal dining room, large living room, library and gourmet kitchen, was originally two separate units that have recently been combined by a staircase.
But it's still considered raw space with just the essential walls and utilities, according to his broker Deborah Grubman of the Corcoran Group.
"It's basically at a point where anyone can do their own finishes," Grubman told us. "It's got incredibly interesting architectural features - and exposures - that make it unlike any other apartment."....

More Than 300,000 Bottles of Water Donated to Support Displaced Citizens and Volunteer Relief Workers Along the Gulf Coast
GREENWICH, CT. - September 3, 2008 -
Nestle Waters North America has donated 302,568 half-liter bottles of Ozarka(R) and Ice Mountain(R) Brand Natural Spring Water to citizens and disaster relief workers affected by this week's Category 2 Hurricane Gustav.
AmeriCares and the
American Red Cross, along with local, on-the-ground agencies, are distributing the donations to affected areas along the Gulf Coast. Evacuees and disaster relief volunteers will receive the bottled water.
Hurricane Gustav made landfall on Monday, causing power outages, flooding, water-supply problems, and structural damage. In Louisiana, nearly 800,000 homes are without power. Preliminary damages are estimated at between $2 billion and $10 billion.
"Many residents of the Gulf Coast are returning to homes without power and need clean water to drink and cook," said AmeriCares emergency response manager Jonathan Hodgdon, who is working on the relief effort from Baton Rouge. "It's not as simple as running to the store to pick up bottled water because many supermarkets are closed and cars are running out of gasoline."
"We are proud to partner with AmeriCares and the Red Cross to provide clean, portable water," said Alex McIntosh, director of corporate citizenship for Nestle Waters North America. "Our partners have stepped up with excellent logistics support to get bottled water and other essential items to people affected by the storm."
NestlE Waters is committed to supplying clean water to citizens in need. The company has provided millions of bottles of water to residents and relief workers affected by natural disasters, including Hurricane Dolly, the tornadoes and subsequent floods that struck the Midwest earlier this year, as well as last year's California wildfires and Hurricane Katrina.
About Nestle Waters North America
NestlE Waters North America Inc. is the number one bottled water company in the U.S. Its family of 15 well-known brands includes Poland Spring(R) Brand Natural Spring Water, the leading spring water brand in America. Based in Greenwich, Conn., Nestle Waters North America's 9,000 employees provide bottled water products to consumers across the country, including Ozarka(R) Natural Spring Water and Nestle (R) Pure Life(R).
