Paris 2009: Worshiping the Leg ...

On The Street: Paris Worships the leg. By Bill Cunningham

On the Street A Show of Legs in Paris

The look in Paris on the thousands of women gathered for the recent designer shows was all about legs and their coverings.

Is Paris cooler or hotter than New York?

Subject: Jeffrey Miron on CNN's AM w/ Kiran Chetry About Legalizing All Drugs

Hi Kiran:

Your interview with Jeffrey Miron was very enlightening.

It's not everyday a rockstar Harvard economist talks about why we need to legalize all drugs and, moreover, on an international platform such as CNN's AM.

Of course, I agree with Jeffrey Miron's points in regards to reducing demand for illegal drugs and suppliers by making drugs legal. Yes, this would also reduce the horrid violence of the underground - as drugs being illegal puts it in the underground world like alcohol in prohibition - and all their problems are solved with guns and violence as opposed to lawyers and marketing.

However, Jeffrey Miron and you didn't even get into how legalizing drugs would eliminate the big waste of tax payor dollars as we would no longer have to fund the "war on drugs" and all the court costs and prison costs of punishing people for doing, possessing and selling drugs (and then all the problems that come with it being illegal and underground like turf wars, kidnappings, drive by shootings, etc.).

I applaud your progressiveness --- giving Mr. Miron an international platform and I hope that your colleagues --- and I hope that more of your colleagues of the new everyday media give Mr. Miron and his thought provoking arguments a similar platform.

Best of the Roses,

"The Fempire" - an Entourage of Their Own ...

Movie writers who are best friends: from left, Lorene Scafaria, Diablo Cody, Dana Fox and Liz Meriwether with, from left in front, Ronja and Luca

You can find them at work in their Laurel Canyon homes in their pajamas, or sitting next to one another at laptop-friendly restaurants. To see them gathered amid the dinosaur topiary around Ms. Fox’s swimming pool with their dogs (they all have dogs) is to see four distinct styles of glamour that bear little resemblance to traditional images of behind-the-scenes talent. Whenever one of them has a movie opening, they all rent a white limousine and go from theater to theater to watch the first audiences react.

“We’re usually drunk by the third theater,” Ms. Cody said. “It’s super porno and tacky, and we love doing it.”

It sounds like fun and games — the boozy, all-woman answer to those close-knit gangs of Hollywood boy-men captured on screen in “Entourage” and embodied by the real-life Apatown, the industry moniker for filmmaker Judd Apatow’s coterie of actors and screenwriters including Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Seth Rogen. But these women also work hard: Ms. Cody, Ms. Fox and Ms. Scafaria can command seven figures to write a movie that makes it into theaters with big stars. Ms. Meriwether (the others call her “the freshman”) is on her way to joining them. That’s no small achievement when you consider that among the screenwriters who are in steady demand for major projects, only about 20 are women. Don’t even try to credit their bankability to their looks.

“The way they live their lives was a good example of how to work and live as a female screenwriter in L.A.,” said Ms. Meriwether, 27, who moved to Laurel Canyon last fall. “Movies have always been written by groups of people, and it goes along well with the writing process to have people to bounce things off of.”

To read the full NY Times article and how these four Hollywood screenwriter stars called "The Fempire" practice Wicca in their Laurel Canyon homes, click on any of the words in this sentence.

I've been up and down the river
Up and down town Manhattan
Walkin' the East side and West side
Coast to coast dancin' in the middle
What I'd like the most these days
Is for a Juliet Huddy just to love me

'Been down plenty of blouses
'Been up many of those skirts
Walkin' along beaches & city streets
Coast to coast dancin' in the middle
What I'd like the most these days
Is for a Juliet Huddy just to love me
