Love, Guts And Spirit

SINCE Rachel Griffiths is dead against having her photograph taken in her favorite Acland Street cafe in the state she's in (jet-lagged, dirty hair, unwell, no make-up), I will have to describe her. Pale and delicate face under an ordinary material hat, straight green eyes, clinging brown dress to t

Agassi - The Wiser Guy

The long, streaked hair is gone (very gone). The hot pink lycra shorts have been replaced by more muted colors, in more traditional fabrics. The vast retinue that used to shadow his every step has dwindled to the standard two or three. But as Andre Agassi showed at Kooyong on Thursday, a leopard can

Teased, Tousled, Textured - You, Too, Can Look Like You're Having A Bad Hair Day

Forget about hours in front of the mirror, pining and primping your locks into labor-intensive "dos" this summer. And they'll be no more back-breaking blow-dries to cajole your hair into sleek style. The hottest spring hair trends pivot around, believe it or not, messed-up tresses. <

Stone The Crows, The Magpie's Going Black

Collingwood supporters take note! While basking in your team's 20-point drubbing of Essendon at the weekend, you are probably unaware a sacred symbol is under threat. The magpie that gives Collingwood its colors and its nickname is gradually interbreeding with a northern magpie and creating a

Gia Says It With Flowers

It's a long way from The Restless Years to sleeping with the man who's about to be President. Australia's Gia Carides talks to DAVID HAY in Los Angeles about the movie the Clintons won't be watching. SHE'S had to dye her hair blonde - but that's about the only resemblance to her character in

Hingis Hopes For Last Year's Form All Over Again

"Just gorgeous," said the grinning Martina Hingis, and she is not talking about the dark dye in her short hair, the brown contact lenses in her blue eyes or the latest range of Italian tennis wear she is paid many millions to wear. Rather, she is describing 1997, a phenomenal year in th

New Barbie Ditches The Impossible Body

FOR 38 years, Barbie has been the darling of little girls around the world. But with her straw white hair, big breasts and impossibly skinny frame, she is hardly a realistic role model. Feminists can rejoice. The world's most popular doll is getting real, with a breast reduction, less make-up

With Bart, The Eyebrows Have It

For yonks, R. G. Menzies was the unchallenged master of eyebrow-speak. He used those great untamed tufts of grey-black hair to marvellous effect. He could raise them, lower them, arch them, move them a millimetre or two either way to sneer at or cut opponents to the quick or merely cause a laugh.

Racing Colors

This year racewear is feminine and pared-down - more flippy frocks than snappy suits. Florals will perforate the crowd, especially in flirty dresses or classic shifts, worn with simple summer coats. For those who prefer edgy style to girly glamor, a skinny pant suit will do nicely. To finish

Riding A New Path Towards Prosperity

In a glass case at the Geelong Wool Museum lies a small pile of fine, snowy white wool. It is displayed like a magical fleece, with fibres so fine you imagine that this is what true angel hair must look like. This wool was once part of the legendary Kadinia bale of ultrafine merino, the most ex

Old-timers Steal The Limelight At Caulfield

It was almost a typical Caulfield raceday. It rained, the sky was turning greyer marginally quicker than John Howard's hair and the racing was excellent and dramatic. But there was a difference. Lee Freedman, most successful trainer at VATC meetings this past season, did not get a winner. After t
