Maybe my outlook on "refined" style is getting support from an unexpected corner?

I was heartened to read this story
the other day....
Author of "Girls Gone Mild" (Random House) Wendy Shalit says sexual appearance has gone overboard..and lost it's meaning..
That's partly because they (young women) can't always count on the adults around them to uphold decent standards, Shalit explains. Baby boomer parents who fought for sexual freedom assume their children will make the most of it."
It's not only true then for the young women though...their parents are casualties of the same lack of more "refined", classy style aesthetics.
One of the loves of my life is not about "style"

I was strolling down Madison Ave(NYC) with my husband this saturday (a good time to be there as many of upper east side residents tend to flee on summer weekends...and most tourists cluster around 5th ave) when all of a sudden I became the shy little girl again that I was when I first fell in "love" with Paul McCartney. And there he was, right behind us (and able to stroll as we did---while remaining relatively incognito and unnoticed). I immediately urged my husband to discreetly turn around.
Paul was with his new dark haired, tall and ultra thin girlfriend.I've seen him in live performances, and on TV , but it's startling when you see him in person--not seemingly as tall, as I thought...and very thin . His hair is dyed an odd reddish hue that many men of his age make the mistake of doing, He wore a white baggy t-shirt tucked into old baggy unstylish 80's type jeans that pooled at the top of his sneakers. Not the look of a man that has been certainly exposed to the most stylish folks on the planet...interesting how that still happens.For a second I fantasized about giving him my card-and offering a free consultation to one of the wealthiest men on the planet....but of course, didn't...
Nevertheless, I was still completely "in the moment" because Paul to me,is not just a mere celebrity.I imagined running up to him and informing him of all the portraits I had done of him in my teens.I know he's heard it up the "ying-yang" but I wanted to tell him how amazing he was and still is...from my heart.
But,I didn't. As always,I felt he had a right to his private time, with a woman he enjoyed being with...
Maybe, at another time,another place,I'll get my chance---and seize it!
Rita Wilson was her joyful self and looking GREAT...

...on the Today Show this morning. Having worked with Rita on a shoot that Alan Arkin directed many years ago (she JUST married Tom Hanks at that time), I can happily see that she is as ebullient and joyful as she was then. Styling Rita I remember how receptive she was to all the duds I offered ...especially "stacking" a substantial amount of silver bracelets up one wrist.
Today she produces movies and I'm certain that "Mama Mia" will be as successful as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".
She is truly blessed, and was a pleasure to have dressed.
