Versace Won't Let Any Real People Wear Its H&M Collection

07.02.12

What awaited guests backwards rendered even the most jaded event goers momentarily dumb, a reaction savored by both Abramovic and MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch , who told her it was "astounding." Female models lay naked on rotating circles set in the mid-point of round dinner tables, draped in anatomy-distinction skeletons, a version of Abramovic's 2002 work "Nude With Skeleton." At the covet tables, living models' heads were positioned every few feet, alternating with the floral centerpieces. These models were also outwardly also nude and kneeling on lazy Susans under the covered tables.

A humorist placed on each plate, admonishing "Look But Don't Touch," outlined rules for interaction with the "centerpieces," including "No distressing, feeding, offering drink or disrespecting." Speaking to the models was also forbidden.

Meb Keflezighi is in a New York City Marathon state of mind: Pre-race interview

07.02.12

Meb Keflezighi:   Well, that’s open-handedly under the bridge now.  I’ve moved on just as I’ve moved on from Nike and not doing a spring marathon. 

I’m still satisfied with my pick up where one left off even if I stop running after Sunday.  But I still believe I can run across back after 69 days for the Trials just as I did in 2004 to fix the Olympic team.  My wife has never been to the Olympics and neither have my kids so that’s my motivation for 2012, to try to let slip one more Olympic team. 

My career has been fulfilled and I’m blessed and I’m beholden to for that.  If you had asked me after college if I was going to win a national name I wouldn’t have believed it but now I have national titles and an American note in the 20k, a silver medal, and a New York win.  A lot of people would like to have fair-minded one of those and fortunately I have all of them.  I’m blessed and I’m under obligation but I still believe I have more in the tank so that’s why I keep running.
