It's less than six degrees of separation when you tour the Caribbean

July 24
As far as beginnings go, the trip to the Caribbean isn't the smoothest. First, I have to cancel my flight from New York to Antigua when I am informed late that I need a visa. After running around midtown Manhattan for a few hours on a Monday morning, putting together the visa documents, thanks to helpful folks at the Antigua consulate, I am finally on my way - only, this time via Boston, San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Beef Island (British Virgin Islands). A four-hour trip has turned into a day and a half.
On the way from the VC Bird International Airport to the Sir Vivian Richards Ground, there are no signs that a Test will be underway in a matter of hours. A giant billboard of Sir Viv close to the stadium is faded. I see the New Zealanders having nets, and then run back and forth from the media centre to the WICB office to get my media pass.
July 26
On the morning of day two, when I take the elevator to get to the press box, an Antiguan kid - no more than seven - rides with me. He must be related to someone in there, I think. I ask him who he thinks will win the Test. "New Zealand," he says with conviction. Taken aback, I ask why. "You see how well the New Zealanders apply themselves. The West Indians don't seem to be doing so."
July 27
A West Indies v New Zealand Test doesn't register high on anybody's interest scale. There aren't more than a few hundred fans in the ground on any day of the match. There aren't a lot of media personnel covering it either. Not even with Chris Gayle coming back and the prospect of seeing Sunil Narine in home conditions. "Oh, there is a carnival in Antigua, and so the fans aren't gonna come." "New Zealand media is more focused on the Olympics." I don't buy the reasons. There is a deeper malaise arising from neglect of cricket.
July 29
While taking notes during the match, I hear the unmistakable deep voice booming from the back of the press box. I don't have to turn around to know it is Curtly Ambrose's. He looks as if he can still take a five-for. I happen to be walking alongside to the post-match presentation. He looks at the track, shakes his head in disbelief, and says: "You could play another Test on this pitch."
July 31
In the West Indies you always seem to be running into someone who knows someone or is related to someone important. The lady who owns a little grocery down the road from where I am staying in Antigua, Claire, is the niece of Ralston Otto, who is a cousin of Ambrose. The bed and breakfast I stay in in Jamaica is run by the daughter of Hartley Neita, who was a well-known journalist and later a press secretary to a few Jamaican prime ministers. The daughter is the cousin of Jimmy Adams.
August 1
It is the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's independence from Britain. The celebrations are in full swing and almost every car has a Jamaica flag fluttering on it. The success of Jamaica in international athletics has given its people a lot of pride and reasons to drape themselves in the national colours. Independence Day is August 6, the last day of the Test match, a national holiday. That should bring quite a few fans into the ground over the long weekend, but no one is sure.
August 2
Sabina Park has a bit of an anachronistic feel to it, but it is still quite imposing, as if the ghosts of past West Indian glory still haunt it. A giant white cloth is stretched over the seats at one end to act as a sight screen, while at the other, an entire wall is painted white. As you gaze out from the media box, sitting in not the most comfortable plastic chairs, the view is breathtaking. Against a bright blue backdrop, you see the Norman Manley airport in the distance, with planes coming in to land, the Caribbean Sea, oil tankers, and the cricket. Think to myself: "Life's good."
August 2
I take a seat in the media box, next to the one reserved for an HG "Dellmar" Samuels. Dellmar, a crusty old man named after George Headley (HG stands for Headley George), is a freelance photographer who has covered West Indies cricket for more than 30 years. He shows me a self-produced photo book of the World Cups from 1975 to 2003. I flip through the pages that capture nearly all the important moments and ask him why there isn't much on the 1983 final, where India beat West Indies. "Hey maan, why ya joggin' mah brain?" he replies.
August 3
Taxis in Jamaica don't have meters. So before you get in, especially for a long-distance ride, fix a price. Having grown up in India, the art of haggling comes easy to me. From time to time, I'll let the cabbie tell me how much it will be for a particular distance. Usually he'll quote three times the actual fare. But once I tell them I have done this before, they let me set the price.
August 4
The Test match is hurtling towards a quick finish. Disciplined bowling and a slightly challenging pitch are exposing fragile batting line-ups. I decide to spend 30 minutes in the camera gantry right below the TV commentary box to take in the view. One of the cameramen, Hari from Bangalore, lets me put on the headphones and listen in on the TV commentary as well as the producer's calls. It's a crazy jumble of numbers, letters and colours. "Come in, come in, three, three, five, five, cut to yellow, Hawk-Eye, black, white, seven, seven, five, five." Hari tells me what the calls mean.
New Zealand's second innings ends. Ian Bishop and Jeff Dujon show up for the highlights show, but Bishop seems distracted by the women's 100m final at the Olympics coming up and keeps sneaking looks at the giant screen.
August 5
Change of plans. With tropical storm Ernesto - which is expected to strengthen to a hurricane as it feeds off the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea - threatening Jamaica, I rejig my plans to leave by the earliest flight. Weather websites and headlines like "Ernesto: Jamaica next in line" don't inspire much confidence. Choose to get out ahead of the storm instead of waiting for it to pass and be stuck with a possible airport shut-down.

Barely-there income rises over past year
Relevant offers
Editors' Picks
The June year was a meagre one for Kiwi pay packets, according to Statistics New Zealand.
Its latest New Zealand Income Survey showed very little change from the same period a year ago.
Between the two June quarters (the three months to June 30 each year), the median weekly income from wages and salaries edged up just $6 (0.7 per cent) to $806 - the smallest change since June 1999.
The median weekly income from all sources rose 1.8 per cent from $550 to $560.
Median hourly earnings rose just 48 cents or 2.4 percent to $20.86.
Certain age groups enjoyed slightly better fortunes. Weekly income from all sources increased for the 20-24 year olds (up $33 or 8.1 per cent); 60-64 years (up $50 or 9.6 per cent); and 65-plus (up $13 or 3.4 per cent).
Wage or salary slaves in the 60 to 64-year-old age group also enjoyed a $62 income increase to $860.
People aged 20-24 who were in part-time employment saw their pay packet jump $32 to $250.
Regional variations were also evident, with Wellington's median weekly income for those in paid employment falling from $863 to $850. Canterbury's income also fell from $776 to $767, but Auckland rose from $840 to $863.
Significantly more over-65s received income from self-employment during the period, rising from 6 per cent to 7.5 per cent.
The growing number of superannuitants also pushed up the number of those getting income from government transfers.
Numbers rose 3 per cent, with their median weekly income up by $8 to $288, a rise of 2.8 per cent.
That was largely due to changes in April when a 2.65 per cent increase in superannuation and a 1.7 per cent rise in student allowances came into effect.
The survey is an annual survey run during the April to June period which gives a snapshot of before-tax incomes for people and households.

James Whitworth
The Mouth Of Memory
You speak your truth as if immortal,
With rich man's laugh and vagabond eyes,
While the antique hand of love betrays
The silent sufferers who solitary tread
Curses the surface of this earth alone.
A shadow of dark resource
Silhouettes precise their spiralling curve;
Though to own such protection should not become them:
Theirs is not a choice to hide;
They could not by a single-sword's-swipe be King.
Stripped of the sweetness of life,
The years crowd unherded,
Until, at last, we come to stand
Upon the spot where Atlas shoulders his burden still,
And share with him in titanic redemption.
To herald the burning of the sky,
Rage in concert you aggrieved and stemmed;
Ascend against the assembly of ages
Whom men call judgement,
That they may bestow such pardon
As would change the course of the blowing wind
Which over your lives imparts
Such an awe of misunderstanding
That even to question is considered to sin.
Should he who cannot obey the words
Live only to regret them,
Then let the man whom from his own heart shrinks
Be guilty of no more a crime
Than simply that of mis-belief,
And so, experience's teaching deny.
For, if the warrior were to quit his war,
Shall he still be celebrated?
Or will his victories be swallowed by the mouth of memory,
And he be forgotten a coward?

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) A Sauk Rapids man who was involved in a traffic crash that killed his passenger could face a charge of criminal vehicular homicide.
Benton County deputies responded to the crash Friday evening. An initial investigation says the 38-year-old driver may have been intoxicated and speeding.
A sheriff's report says the man's vehicle left the road about 6:30 p.m., went airborne and struck a tree. The driver was wearing a seatbelt and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
His passenger was 42-year-old David Eberle of St. Cloud. Eberle, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, died at the scene.
The driver has been arrested.

Coyote California Golf Courses
|Coyote Creek
Featured Golf Course Review:
|Coyote Creek -- Snobs
|Review by: Mark
|I couldn't recommend this course to anyone without feeling guilty. Me and the wife checked it out and the staff was snobby. Instead of giving us hospitality we recieved constant boast about the course designer (Jack N), the 2 week waiting list for tee times, and their dress code which by the way is a lot more then shown here. They accept golf attire only (pants and collars), no shorts or denim. We've played Spyglass and Pebble Beach and not found this attitude. I certainly didn't expect it from folks at a piece of crap course like Coyote Creek. Save your money and play a course that's more then talk.

Former wine collector to forfeit $20 million for counterfeiting
NEW YORK (Reuters) - An Indonesian man once considered one of the world's top wine collectors was ordered Thursday to forfeit $20 million for selling millions of dollars of counterfeit bottles of wine to unsuspecting buyers.
Rudy Kurniawan, whose fall from grace made international headlines, was ordered to forfeit the sum by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman. The order came at a hearing that was originally scheduled for his sentencing, which was delayed until Aug. 4.
The delay followed arguments over how much in losses Kurniawan's crimes had caused, a key factor in determining his sentence. The judge said he wanted more information.
Kurniawan, 37, was found guilty in December of one count of mail fraud for counterfeiting wine and one count of wire fraud for defrauding a financing company out of a $3 million loan.
Meanwhile, Kurniawan has agreed to settle a civil lawsuit filed by billionaire oenophile William Koch, who in 2009 sued him in California state court as part of a long-running legal crusade against fake vintage wine.
The deal was disclosed in court by Kurniawan's lawyer, Jerome Mooney. Brad Goldstein, a spokesman for Koch, confirmed the deal, which he said was for $3 million in damages.
Mooney in an email said what Kurniawan ultimately pays Koch will be determined by the probation department. Goldstein also said Kurniawan had agreed to "provide full cooperation to help reform the industry."
Koch, the founder of Oxbow Group, testified as a government witness against Kurniawan. He is the brother of conservative political activists, Charles and David Koch. Forbes estimates his net worth at $3.9 billion.
Prosecutors accused Kurniawan of operating a counterfeit wine factory out of his California home, buying empty rare bottles, printing forged labels and spending thousands on French wax to produce hundreds of fakes.
Mooney argued at trial he had acquired the fake bottles unknowingly and had been made a scapegoat for a pervasive counterfeit problem in the fine wine industry.
Ahead of the sentencing, Koch was expected to seek $2.1 million in restitution.
Earlier this month, the billionaire reached a confidential settlement in a separate lawsuit filed in 2008 in New York state court against Acker, Merrall & Condit Co, a wine dealer and auction house that sold him Kurniawan's bottles.
"As I testified during Kurniawan's criminal trial, I, like many others, was conned and cheated by Mr. Kurniawan," Koch wrote in a letter to Berman in May.

"Margarita, with a Straw": dissolving hatred of homosexuals in India
Modern India is walking slowly towards a general acceptance of homosexuals and lesbians. Shonali Bose in her new film, "Margarita, With a Straw," tries to pick up the pace. The film, which premiered and won the NETPAC award at the Toronto Film Festival earlier this year, is about a teenager with cerebral palsy who is unabashed about her sexuality, much to the horror of her middle-class, conservative mother.

A new One Direction monster smash is coming our way! After the unfortunate leak of 1D's music video for their new single "Live While We're Young" which hit the Web on early Thursday (September 20), Syco/Sony Music were forced to push up the radio premiere, and VEVO world premiere of the audio, and vid, respectively to RIGHT NOW! Click 'play' above, and enjoy...'cause the new single is good, very good!
Written and produced by Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha, the trio behind One Direction's chart-topping hit "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young" is a new super catchy, care-free feeling, radio-friendly tune that has '#1 worldwide hit' written all over it. "Young" could perfectly be part of "Up All Night", you know, since it has the same DNA of all the songs on that album. But should 1D fans feel actually sad the band show no progress sound-wise in this new era?. Nah!! Catchy pop/rock tunes are their thing, and they should stick to that sound. As for the "Live While We're Young" music video, it captures the essence of the song pretty well. It shows the band members enjoying a camping day with a bunch of friends where there'll be singing and dancing together, riding a jeep at full speed, goofing around in the lake, or getting wet in a plastic pool. By the way, nice move by 1D's management to give Zayn more lines to sing on the new single. They know this will make fans happy! And that should translate in greater sales.
What do you think of the video?

Boom Blox development from EA Los Angeles to EA Bright Light Studio in Guildford, UK. Kotaku obtained a quote from the publisher, which notes that the move has nothing to do with the company's "restructuring" and is a routine event in a global studio organization to "leverage development strengths."
The history of the Boom Blox franchise at EA has been pretty shaky since the first title was launched. The original game wasn't an explosive hit at the start, but eventually sold half a million copies. The division that was supposed to handle the franchise shut down afterward. Although critically acclaimed, the Boom Blox series just hasn't been a breakout success.

Nikolay Zherdev is headed back to KHL, will sign with Atlant Mytishchi
Aug 3, 2011, 6:03 PM EDT
If you were hoping to see Nikolay Zherdev land a job with your favorite team to give them an offensive boost, your hopes are about to be ruined.
According to Yahoo's Dmitry Chesnokov, Zherdev is headed back to the KHL. Zherdev will be signing a deal with his former team in Russia, Atlant Mytishchi, where he'll team up with another big NHL name in Alex Kovalev. Kovalev signed with Atlant last week after being unable to find work in the NHL for next season.
Zherdev had one of the more up and down seasons with Philadelphia last season as he was on a constant loop going in and out of coach Peter Laviolette's dog house. When he played, he was a good offensive producer for the Flyers scoring 15 goals and six assists in 56 games while averaging just 12:51 per game in ice time. Despite his good play on occasion, his effort level didn't meet Laviolette's needs consistently enough and the Flyers did attempt to waive him last year but found no takers.
At 26 years-old, Zherdev is taking his second leave of absence from the NHL to play in Russia. While we've seen him and others leave the NHL for the KHL and come back, we haven't seen anyone do it twice. Zherdev is young enough and has enough talent to play in the NHL, but you have to wonder if NHL GMs and coaches have perhaps had their fill of Zherdev.
It'd be a shame if this is it for him as an NHL player as he does have offensive skill set that makes him a unique player to have in that role. With the way the NHL stresses quality play both offensively and defensively, perhaps Zherdev will have to strengthen his two-way play to earn a return trip back to North America.

As a Flyers fan…I really wish Lavs had played him more. Unless he was the worst defender or worst locker room influence in the history of hockey, it was worth taking a chance with his offensive skills. Dude can play.
Best of luck to him.

I agree. It's ashame that we couldn't get more out of him. He is a Youtube sensation though.

Coal fight heats up near Bellingham
The fight over a coal export terminal proposed near Bellingham, Wash., is heating up, as hundreds turned out Saturday for the first of several public hearings on the project.
The Associated Press
The fight over a coal export terminal proposed near Bellingham, Wash., is heating up, as hundreds turned out Saturday for the first of several public hearings on the project.
The hearing in Bellingham sought to get public input on what should be included in the environmental review of the project at Cherry Point. Hearings are also scheduled in Seattle, Vancouver, Spokane and other cities.
Opponents want regulators to study a broad range of concerns, including increased rail traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, potential health hazards and harm to fisheries.
SSA Marine's Bob Watters said in a statement Saturday that the project will meet the state's high environmental standards. Supporters say the project would generate millions in tax revenues and create short-term and permanent jobs.
The terminal is one of five in Washington and Oregon proposed to ship coal from Montana and Wyoming to Asia.

A New Brand of Social Network Is Vying for Your Attention. But Does It Deserve it?
BadBadNotGood Drop Out
"The proposed Oregon Sustainability Center was set to be a laboratory for green technology and was designed to be the largest "net zero" high-rise ever built.
At the request of my City Council colleagues, we found a private partner — Interface Engineering — that offered to co-own the proposed cutting-edge building. Interface Engineering is a great Portland-based company that is known world-wide for excellence in their field.
Nonetheless, it's become clear to me this week that I don't have the votes necessary to pass the project through Portland City Council and we won't be moving forward."
The center was supposed to be a gleaming beacon of the city's support of green jobs, but the pricetag for the building had many people questioning whether the building was economically sustainable.

Japanese origins of the Philippine 'halo-halo'
Publication Date : 31-08-2012
Contrary to popular belief, the halo-halo (mix-mix), our iconic summer cooler, is a Philippine dish with Japanese origins.
Over the years we have consumed halo-halo at venues ranging from roadside stands to Chowking fast-food outlets to five-star hotels like the Manila Peninsula (which was the first to serve it in an oversized, specially made bowl instead of the usual tall glass).
I have tried Digman's halo-halo in Cavite and knew the cranky old lady in a Guagua subdivision who served it with palabok and French fries. Guagua, Pampanga halo-halo is now a fast-growing franchise with "The Original Razon's halo-halo and palabok. Since 1972" with the red sign, competing with "Razon's" with a blue sign that is not "original" but run by a certain "Allan G. Garcia". Then there is another competitor from Angeles, Pampanga, called "Halo-halo sa Corazon's".
The best halo-halo in Manila is in Milky Way on Pasay Road. Why do I think it is the best? They use finely shaved (not crushed) ice and freshly stewed condiments.
The origin of halo-halo can be traced to the prewar Japanese, who specialised in preserving beans like mongo, garbanzos, and kidney beans in a thick syrup. They then took the next step by serving these on crushed ice—a concoction that we have since indigenised into a Philippine version of the Japanese kakigori.
A friend on Facebook, Seneca Nuñez Pellano, attended my Ayala Museum lecture last weekend and sent this excerpt from "A Japanese in the Philippines" by Kiyoshi Osawa (1981) that pertains to halo-halo:
"Another line of business monopolised by the Japanese [in the Philippines] was what we Japanese called mongo-ya. Mongo is a Tagalog word meaning red beans. What was sold for ten centavos was a plateful of cooked red beans heaped with ground ice, topped with sugar and milk. The business could be started with a small capital outlay and some Japanese, after a few years of modest saving as farming immigrants, turned a new leaf as proprietors of mongo-ya. All that was needed to open a shop were a makeshift hut, some small tables and log chairs, and one young boy to help. Also needed were red beans, ice cream, papayas, and penny candies, all in small quantities."
Elsewhere in this book we read: "Many mongo shops enjoyed fast growth and expansion. Some of them were so successful they grew into bazaars in a few years' time. Following the Japanese evacuation after World War II, these mongo shops vanished entirely from the market scene."
If we go back in history we will know that the tropical Philippines did not have a regular supply of ice until the Americans built the Insular Ice Plant at the turn of the last century. Filipinos got their first taste of ice that was imported from the United States in the mid-19th century. Ice ships carrying the blocks of Wenham Lake Ice sailed from America to India and Australia with a stopover in the Philippines. We could not have had halo-halo before the introduction of ice in the mid-1800s and the introduction, by the Japanese, of beans in syrup before World War II.
Halo-halo can also be found in slightly different form and taste in neighbouring countries. On my first trip to Singapore I was surprised to be served "ais kachang" or bean ice in a bowl, and I told my hosts that this was copied from the Philippines, just as Singapore appropriated the Merlion as its mascot when the very same mythical creature has been on the coat of arms of the City of Manila as approved by Philip II since the late 16th century. It seems that Singapore got "ais kachang" from neighbouring Malaysia, which also has "chendol" and something called "ABC" (for "air batu campur").
Vietnam is another place where you can find duck eggs cooked like the Philippine "balut". Its version is called "trung vit lon" and is eaten with salt, lemon and ground pepper and pushed down with homemade beer. Vietnam's version of halo-halo is "cha ba mau." Thailand has "nam keng sai," which all Pinoys know as "Thai halo-halo". It consists of water chestnuts in red gulaman served in a bowl topped by crushed ice, coconut milk and syrup. I'm sure that the nationalistic Vietnamese, Singaporeans, Malaysians, Indonesians, and Thais will insist that the Philippine halo-halo was copied from them, so where did the "original" halo-halo come from?
Halo-halo and its Asian cousins have one common ingredient: shaved ice. Halo-halo and its Asian cousins trace only one common root: the Japanese kakigori that goes back a thousand years. Japanese nobles in the Heian period used to enjoy ice even in the summer because it was harvested in the winter and stored in special imperial ice caves. In the 10th-century "Pillow Book" Sei Shonagon provided a list of "elegant things," one of these being "shaved ice mixed with liana syrup and served in a new silver bowl".
FB friends Karl Ian Cheng Chua and Michael de la Fuente report that Philippine halo-halo is sold in Mini Stop Convenience Stores in Japan and come in three flavours: "ramune" (lemon), wild mountain grape, and uji kindoki, a kakigori flavour consisting of green tea from Uji in Kyoto, red beans, and glutinous flour balls.
Philippine halo-halo has the condiments under ice while the Japanese version has the condiments over the ice. It is amazing how many historical connections can be had from a glass of halo-halo.

Tunsil practicing, Still will try for Ole Miss
During fall camp and through the course of the regular season, the lack of depth on Ole Miss' offensive line has been a concern and was the one group that had to stay healthy. Not only did the Rebels suffer two injuries last week, they occurred to starting center Ben Still and arguably their best player at the position, left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Still missed the game against LSU, but Tunsil injured his bicep during and was missed badly. (October 30, 2014, Page 7A)
Ole Miss No. 4 in first College Football Playoff rankings
The inaugural College Football Playoff rankings made one thing clear: Ole Miss controls its own fate when it comes to the possibility of playing for a national championship. But there's a long way to go. (October 29, 2014, Page 1B)
Rebels prep for more balanced Auburn offense
No. 4 Auburn (6-1, 3-1 SEC) is still lethal on the ground, leading the SEC with 281 rushing yards a game, but the Tigers are using that success to open things up with a passing game it didn't need at times a season ago. It's another dimension No. 7 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1) will have to account for when the Rebels host the Tigers in a Western Division clash Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN). (October 29, 2014, Page 1B)
Wallace, offense want to open things up
Ole Miss will host Auburn on Saturday, and some of the Rebels would like to see the offense get a little more aggressive when it does. (October 28, 2014, Page 6)
NOTEBOOK: Nkemdiche out for year
Once linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche was seen in street clothes and using crutches on the sidelines at Tiger Stadium on Saturday, there were fears the junior could have suffered yet another major injury. Those fears were correct as Nkemdiche underwent surgery Sunday to repair a fracture ankle he suffered early in the Rebels' 10-7 loss to LSU. (October 28, 2014, Page 6)
VIDEO: Rebels reflect on LSU, look ahead to Auburn
BLOG — No. 7 Ole Miss will host No. 4 Auburn on Saturday, and quarterback Bo Wallace would like to see the offense open things up more when it does. (more…) (October 27, 2014)
Ole Miss moving on from first loss at LSU
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Bo Wallace isn't about to dwell on his first game-losing throw of the season. Even amid the din that persisted in LSU's Death Valley long after the Tigers' victory-sealing interception, Mississippi's gun-slinging quarterback was calm, clear and succinct in declaring the Rebels' resolve. (October 27, 2014, Page 6)
Ole Miss rallies for 2-1 win at Vandy
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jessica Hiskey came up big for the Rebels on Sunday afternoon in front of her hometown crowd, providing an assist and scoring the game-winner as Ole Miss (8-5-5, 3-3-3 SEC) defeated Vanderbilt (7-9-2, 2-6-2 SEC) by a score of 2-1. (October 27, 2014, Page 6)
LSU grounds, pounds past Ole Miss
BATON ROUGE, La. — Ole Miss didn't get out of Death Valley alive. The Rebels' offense was bottled up by LSU, a UM defense that's been virtually immovable was pushed around, and No. 3 Ole Miss fell from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 10-7 loss Saturday night in front of 102,321 at Tiger Stadium. (October 26, 2014, Page 1B)
NOTEBOOK: Injuries hurt Rebels in loss
BATON ROUGE, La. — The injury bug struck Ole Miss with a vengeance Saturday night in the thirdranked Rebels' 10-7 loss to No. 24 LSU. (October 26, 2014, Page 1B)

Get shorty: The briefer the better
Prada is known for its ingenious and whimsical take on wardrobe classics. This season, the focus is on shorts – and the briefer the better, says Susannah Frankel
Monday 07 December 2009
It's a bit nippy. Just the type of weather for chunky rib knits in Christmassy reds, big leather boots and, er, a nice pair of marginally baggy – or perhaps puffy is a better word to describe them – micro shorts. Only Miuccia Prada would have the sheer nerve to send this particular look out onto the generally rather more obviously commercial Milanese catwalk, especially for the autumn/winter season. And how great it is.
So wrong, it's unquestionably just right. Yes, the jumper is longer than the shorts, protruding bizarrely from beneath their hemline. And yes, the boots – never has a fisherman's wader looked so luxe – are at their best when worn with a toned and naked thigh, and this despite the cold snap. The line is sexy to the point almost of fetish-wear – knickers and what looks not entirely unlike leather suspenders spring to mind – but the choice of material and palette – country tweeds and wools that the British aristocracy might happily endorse weekend-ing at Balmoral – is anything but. As far as unexpected – and indeed quite provocative – contradictions in matters sartorial are concerned, this particular label, then, has it entirely nailed.
Miuccia Prada has, of course, long been enamoured of shorts, and this whatever the weather. While trousers are, in fact, for the most part conspicuous in their absence on this particular catwalk, skirts being the designer's own preferred choice of garment from the waist down, shorts are the exception that prove the rule.
In the early days – and still something of a classic by now at both Prada and Miu Miu – these were reminiscent of a highly conservative boy's school uniform, a throwback to the designer's own childhood perhaps when her mother insisted on a certain formality with regards to children's dress. More recently they have, for the most part, been more brief than that, bringing everything from the 1940s pin-up girl to, in this season's case, the decidedly saucy – and quite possibly marginally stroppy – land girl to mind. The designer has said in the past that anything ultra-short is best worn by those with toned as opposed to super-skinny legs, the type of woman with the musculature of a small horse, perhaps. Either way, shorts are best worn by those who stride as opposed to totter. Their origins, quite clearly, are in sportswear, first adopted by fashion in the 1920s and 1930s both by Chanel and the equally emancipated American designer, Claire McCardell, and designed to show a still highly chauvinistic world that women can work, play and indeed run just as well as their male counterparts – and look rather more glamorous while doing it to boot.
It may come as something of a relief to discover that, for those who would really rather not spend the winter months dressed in what is ultimately not much more than their pants, can wear designer shorts for the summer too.
For Prada's part, shorts remain flirtatiously small worn, this time around, with a long white cotton shirt peeping beneath the cut off point to keep modesty in tact, in stiffened silver grey silk that stands away from the body as opposed to clinging to it and with raw frayed edges on display for all to see. More like the aforementioned boyish designs are narrow but still comparatively loose-fitting shorts in the same chic colours and fabric that fall to mid-thigh.
This designer is not the only one to have put shorts onto next season's catwalk, however. Followers of the bright young New York-based designer, Alexander Wang, will no doubt delight in snake-hipped tan leather shorts that lace up the front and with gleaming silver zips up the sides – they're that hard. Balmain's shorts look like cut off black jeans and are suitably distressed as befits the times. They'll no doubt weigh in at four figures, and this despite the very limited amount of fabric involved, and sell out within minutes of arriving in store nonetheless. D&G's shorts in tooled suede the colour of the Arizona desert and with a saucy frill at the hem are suitably impressive and will certainly go some way towards stopping the traffic when worn, as the designers intend them to be, with a western-inspired corset and spike-heeled, studded cowboy boots – think Calamity Jane following the mother of all Italianate makeovers. Marc Jacobs' shorts mimic the characteristics of foundation garments, 1950s-style; Stella McCartney's are in brown shantung silk which looks set to be huge next season even though the shorts themselves are anything but. At Yves Saint Laurent, shorts are tight-fitting in soft black leather and split at the knee and at Hermes, shorts are body-conscious in black denim and stop just above the knee or barely graze the thigh.
The unifying factor where shorts are concerned is that they are designed to be dressed up – way up. In particular, the ill-shapen, cargo-pocketed variety that appears to spread like the proverbial wildfire the minute the sun deigns to shine must henceforward be banished to the bottom drawer. They're not pretty, flattering or even remotely fashionable. The new shorts, conversely, are all these things and versatile too, designed, in Miuccia Prada's own words, to be worn everywhere from "the boardroom to the beach."
