Lots up Michelle Jank's fashionable sleeve


Fashion favourite Michelle Jank is in talks with a Perth gallery about holding her first exhibition in her home city of Perth next year.

Jank's star is shining brighter than ever thanks to her first foray into costuming, with the Sydney Dance Company's current production Sid's Waltzing Masquerade benefiting from the designer's gorgeous creations.

Combined with her third season showing at the Paris fashion shows and the resulting European orders for her delicate and beautiful creations, Jank has been kept busy over the past months.

Jank said Sid's Waltzing Masquerade will not be her last costuming project.

She feels choreographer Aszure Barton and herself are kindred spirits and costuming is the right fit for her designing talents.

The pair has been discussing working together on a new project in New York.

"She is a great discovery in my life," Jank says.

Working with dancers to create a special feel on stage was a new creative challenge that had proved the right fit.

"It was always about magnifying a feeling that she was creating, or perhaps creating tension and balance, adding texture where needed," Jank says of the current project."

I feel like it was somewhat like working on a large scale painting. Thinking about how the movement and shapes of the costumes affect the negative and positive space of the stage.

"Jank is about to commence work on the new 2009 campaign for the Sydney Dance Company and will be staying put in Sydney until closing night.

Planning on coming home for Christmas, the designer has even more projects up her fashionable sleeve.

"I am in the early days of planning a big collaboration with my creative friends in Sydney next year, a really big scale art work encompassing film, painting, dance, costume… it will be something pretty major," Jank says.

When she returns to Perth later this year Jank will hook up with mentor Wendy Marshall, who owns high end fashion boutique Elle in Nedlands.

"I'm looking forward to talking to Wendy about my next creative plans, that's my ritual," Jank says.


"She is my mentor and inspiration always."

T-shirt thief gets 14-month prison term

MINDEN, La. -- A Haughton man has been sentenced to 14 months in prison for stealing two packs of T-shirts.
Parish prosecutors say state District Judge Ford Stinson handed down the lengthy sentence to 40-year-old Dexter Rhodes for the misdemeanor crime because he had two prior misdemeanor theft convictions.
Sherb Sentell, the chief assistant district attorney for Webster Parish, says had Rhodes' criminal record been clean, he typically would have faced six months of parish jail time. Sentell says their administration will not pass repeat offenders off to other jurisdictions with only a slap on the wrist.

Lippygate: US election furore as Palin critics say she has tattooed lip-liner

She is the self-styled ‘Pitbull in Lipstick’ – but vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has become the subject of a fierce debate about whether her lip-liner is really a tattoo.


The discussion was started by Left-wing pundit Arianna Huffington, who claimed in a blog that the 44-year-old governor of Alaska had had her lip-liner permanently tattooed on.


The claim has prompted huge speculation on the internet and within the mainstream

Tight-lipped: Sarah Palin's camp won't discuss claims that her lip-liner is permanent

One detractor said: ‘She’s so vain and this is just another example of that.’
A pro-Palin supporter shot back: ‘She’s a busy working mother and her make-up always looks impeccable. People love to attack her.’

Striker Heskey is back in fashion for England

LONDON: Emile Heskey is back in demand for England after a long spell in the shadows but the Wigan forward insists he never felt like

Heskey was the unsung hero of England’s stunning 4-1 victory over Croatia in last month’s crucial World Cup qualifier in Zagreb.

The former Liverpool star linked impressively with Wayne Rooney and gave Croatia’s defenders a torrid time with his combination of power and poise in his first start for coach Fabio Capello.

It was just like old times for Heskey, who formed an equally impressive little and large partnership with Michael Owen during Sven Goran Eriksson’s reign.

Heskey was eventually disgarded by Eriksson as a combination of poor form and Rooney’s emergence took its toll. But, with Capello showing little faith in Owen, there is a vacancy for a foil to Rooney and Heskey grabbed his chance with both hands against the Croatians.

“I don’t know if I went out of fashion but it’s nice to be wanted,” he said.
“Obviously the game against Croatia was tailor made for me because I like to put myself about and they had

some pretty big centre halves. So it was nice. It was physical but I don’t mind that.

“Not having played for about four years it’s just nice to be back. When I first came back it was strange because there were so many young players. I thought I was young myself but when you come into this squad, you feel a little bit old!”

The 30-year-old, who could miss today’s qualifier against Kazakhstan with a back injury, has been a revitalised figure since joining Wigan from Birmingham in 2006 and is benefitting from taking a more laidback approach to the game.

“I’m a bit more relaxed when it comes to football,” he said.

“When you’re younger, you’re really tense when you’re going into game and you get really nervous.

“I can see it in some of the lads when they go out on the pitch. For me, it’s not like it’s another game but you
prepare differently and you focus your mind a lot better.”

Heskey’s physical presence and selfless nature allowed Rooney to thrive in his favoured role, just behind a targetman, against Croatia. It is a role Heskey is happy to fulfil if it brings the best out of Rooney.

“You never know until you actually play with someone what the partnership’s going to be like.

“Wayne’s a fantastic player €” he’s shown that over the years €” but you never know how it’s going to work out,” Heskey said.

“It’s only when you start playing with them that you get a little understanding, knowing where he’s going to run and where you need to be, and you kind of build your game around your partner.

“He’s a fantastic talent so I hope I am getting the best out of him.” €” AFP

Alexander McQueen Wears Bunny Suit, Model Faints at Paris Show


Alexander McQueen's spring 2009 show in Paris ended a few hours ago. And McQueen took his bow in a bunny suit with some animal friends looking on in a fabulous Museum of Natural History–meets–high fashion setup we thought only existed in our wildest (zing!) dreams. (No, seriously — we love that museum.)
On a more somber note, however, the show wasn't all as fun as a trip to the museum. One model fainted as she exited the runway and had to be carried out.

Valentino Appoints New Designers, Doesn’t Tell Facchinetti

After the spring 2009 Valentino show in Paris on Friday, company CEO Stefano Sassi told reporters it was designer Alessandra Facchinetti's last collection for the house. Over the weekend the company confirmed Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who have designed accessories for Valentino for ages, will take over as creative directors. However, Facchinetti wrote in a public e-mail the media heard of her dismissal before she did:
"It was with deep regret that I learnt from the press that I would no longer be working with Valentino…
"This news came as a great surprise since the company's top management has not yet seen fit to inform me. I would like to thank Valentino s.p.a. for showing their appreciation of my 'creative contribution and my sophisticated talent' although I deeply regret the fact that this talent and contribution do not seem to have been adequately acknowledged."

Sarah Palin’s Hairstylist Has Been Identified!


The red highlights. The lash-skimming bangs. The half–French braid. And of course, that inimitable bouffant. Sarah Palin's hair has become as much of a conversation topic as that kitschy wink. But we all know a working mom with five kids can't get a mini-hive so smooth all on her own. Enter: Angela the hairstylist. W magazine recently learned that Angela has been traveling with Palin. She's based at the Hair Grove in Westlake Village, California, where she won't be available again until November 4.
W wasn't able to confirm Angela's last name since "the Hair Grove stopped answering our questions." But the magazine did find out how Palin found Hair Grove. So who lent a helping hand? Cindy McCain, of course! McCain directed Palin to the salon, which is where she found her own current stylist, Piper. McCain had reportedly inquired at the salon about extensions. Thankfully, she doesn't appear to have gotten them. But we wonder if McCain passed Angela down to Palin and took Piper for herself. McCain did sport a slight bouffant herself a couple of months ago but has recently — and wisely — taken to wearing her hair down. Guess we'll never know.
