Seattle Has Parks, Reads Books, Still Wears Plaid According to National Media
You Say You Want a Beauty Revolution
While we were reporting on Project Red Dress, we got a chance to schmooze with Seattle chapter of Fashion Group International board members Susan (Regional Director-Elect and Treasurer) and Janaea (Programs Chair), also the founders of Beauty Revolution magazine, Seattle's online beauty and fashion magazine.

Melinda Gates's Style of Giving Is in Vogue
Yes, we're slow in noticing this story, but you do have to enjoy Melinda's Vogue profile for its eye on what matters: "The morning we met she was dressed simply, in a brown suit and pumps. She wore unobtrusive earrings, a thin gold necklace, and a tasteful and restrained emerald-cut-diamond wedding ring (purchased at one of Buffett’s many properties, Borsheim’s Fine Jewelry in Omaha)." And no post-feminist criticism here--where Joyce's famous cry was "Non serviam," Vogue reports approvingly: "She was valedictorian at Ursuline Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school whose motto, aptly enough, was Serviam ('I will serve')."
