A professorial fabric takes on high-fashion appeal when woven in a luxurious fiber, like that of JoAnna Garcia's feathered sheath from the Gossip Girl-inspired Anna Sui for Target collection (left). Both Kate Hudson (center) and Debra Messing (right) chose sexy Michael Kors designs
Stripes
Rachel McAdams got avant-garde in a versatile woven bandage skirt (left), while Gabrielle Union (center) skipped the straight and narrow in an abstract brush-striped dress. Milla Jovovich (right) wore a soft, feminine take on the look from Donna Karan.

I have a challenge, ladies. For Halloween, I am going to be Tippi Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels, from The Birds. I need a 1960s-style suit or dress, preferably for less than $50, in a size 16 or XL. It can't be black because the birds will not show up well against black. I'd prefer a light green like in the movie, but I'm willing to go for any lighter color that will allow the birds to show up well. The dress does not have to be exact, just call to mind the right time period and in the general style. Here's a photo of Tippi from the movie for those who haven't seen it (or haven't seen it in a long time):
I found something, at http://www.chickdowntown.com/viewproduct.asp?ID=146079&source=shopstyle, but it's too small and it's $400, which is insane. If I find something awesome, I will totally wear it again just as a regular dress (without the birds, of course) - which is why I don't just want to buy a cheap crappy costume dress. I've found another maybe that's $70, at http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Dresses/Solid/Dress+Side+Story, but it's a bit more than I want to spend and not quite the same silhouette. It doesn't actually have to be vintage - just look the part (the dress from ModCloth is new, it's just in a retro style). Help? Advice? I'm on a timeline, obvs, and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!!

31 August 2009Helmand Province, Afghanistan
The historical Afghan elections scheduled for 20 August were days away. While the west mostly continued to vote for Afghanistan, the big question was, “Will Afghanistan vote for itself?”
The latest media wave splashed into the main voting centers in places like Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Herat and Lashkar Gah. The larger cities only account for perhaps 20% of the Afghan population. Whereas the easy and obvious stories are in the cities, a crucial and larger dimension—the other 80%—would unfold in the boonies. Most Afghans would have no chance to vote.
The election was to be run by Afghans. In theory and in practice this would be a recipe for disaster. The strategic thinkers cannot be faulted for this; after nearly eight years of war, if the west were still running the elections, the elections and government would be a failure to begin with. By comparison, the Iraqi elections on 30 January 2005 (less than two years after invasion) were run mostly by Iraqis. In the voting of October and December of that same year, Iraqis had two more runs at the ballots, which were increasingly successful. Afghanistan, however, is different. This would be only the second election in history.
There are no good choices here. Either we run the elections and the central government and in doing so undermine the same central government we are investing in, or we allow that central government to run the elections and probably watch it undermine itself. But who knows?
