"Their costumes, as to architecture, were the latest fashion intensified"

MARK TWAIN AWARD's year-long victory tour will likely involve countless jet-setting trips and state visits.
Local "high society" members recently bestowed their approval on the Associated Press accolade, as evidenced by this meeting with ultra-fashionable AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS KATIE (the brunette) and ELIZABETH (the blond having more fun).
Ooh. It appears Katie is sporting a GIANNI VERSACE original. Stunning in its elegance.
Bold? I'd say Elizabeth is bold!
She's a veritable trail-blazer here, wearing yet another ground-breaking piece by the Japanese designer ISSEY MIYAKE.
How can she pull off these electrifying fashion choices time after time after time?
Mark Twain himself once said of America: "We are called the nation of inventors. And we are. We could still claim that title and wear its loftiest honors if we had stopped with the first thing we ever invented, which was human liberty."
So, is it any real surprise that Mark Twain Award chose this liberating work by America's own DONNA KARAN? Brilliant choice. Quite stunning in the way it accentuates his every feature. Brealthless, that is. Indeed.
