Once again, veils are in! The new veils this summer are made from coarse, unbreathable wool, with an eye-slit that allows no peripheral vision. They are available in black and darker black.
These go great whether you're wearing a formal body-encompassing black smock, or a non-formal body-encompassing black smock. Look chic for the sheik!

Hollywood generally makes two kinds of movies: terror thrillers like, "United 93" and Blackface laffers like Spike Lee's "Bamboozled." The two have unfortunately remained separate and distinct - until now!
Angelina Jolie's new movie "A Mighty Heart" thrillingly captures the agony of having your husband decapitated while you're wearing Blackface. And the special effects are incredible! When Jolie cries, we do not even see her face running down her face. Jolie plays Black so convincingly I could have sworn I was watching Whoopi Goldberg circa the "Eddie" years.
The movie was not without flaws. The terror scenes could have had far more humor had one of the jihadis been played by Tony Shaloub. But overall, this is much more family-friendly fare than the upcoming "Ratatouille." Go see "A Mighty Heart" - it's the ultimate summer popcorn flick!
NOTE: I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE.



Former anchor Dan Rather criticized CBS for "tarting up" the news with Katie Couric, saying the path to higher ratings is making the newscast more boring. According to Rather, viewers used to tune into CBS knowing they were going to see a tooth-whistling loner reading poorly-fact-checked copy. Now, if they want to watch an elderly miscreant, they're forced to go to ABC. Perhaps if Couric wore less makeup and went by "Catherine," she'd make more inroads with a viewing public that only wants to be unexcited.

While gay fans are asking you boycott "Hairspray" because of Scientology's stance on gay people, there are plenty of good reasons to skip this film without getting Scientology involved. For instance, first and foremost, this:
If you elect to see "Hairspray" you will be staring at this haunting visage projected onto a fifty foot screen for at least an hour and a half, minimum. Since the theater will be dark and the screen light, you will be unable to see anything else. It will be burned in your mind's-eye and you will never forgive yourself. In conclusion - no reason to hunt for exotic reasons to not see this thing.
