I can’t recall ever seeing an interview with Donatella Versace in one of the many fashion magazines that I currently subscribe to and read closely. We all know who she is but I believe she keeps the ins-and-outs of her personal life to herself.

After the movie Parasite won the Oscar for Best Picture my buddy said that we definitely had to see this picture – easier said than done, I’m afraid. Since I hadn’t even heard or read anything about it, I more or less “dragged my feet” about the whole thing.

Last year we visited Hudson Yards and wrote extensively about it in a two-part series. Now we’re back again to take a look at “The Edge” which is billed everywhere as, “The highest sky deck in the Western Hemisphere.”

I became aware of the 18-year-old Billie Eilish when she won four top awards at the 2020 Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Song, Record and Album of the Year. Then I received my March 2020 issue of Vogue and saw an incredible 16 pages of copy + photos of this pop star in the magazine.

But living her life is not exactly a walk in the park. Even though she’s the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney of Beatle’s fame, who is reportedly a billionaire, she’s had her share of speed bumps along the way. The 48-year-old British fashion designer who is married to Alasdhair Willis – the former publisher of Wallpaper and a creative guru himself, has four active children and a company that spans the globe. She’s got a lot on her plate, as they say.

People like me, who are born under the Aquarius sign are always looking for the next wondrous adventure. Or, said differently: Aquarians are born to update the current structure and change the rules if necessary. This is the only explanation I can give for my fascination with the future of space travel – even the idea of traveling to Mars – in the upcoming years.

I came across this intriguing piece in Elle magazine, January 2020 because the photo (a supine figure drifting along in a boat) caught my attention – as well as the headline, Much Ado About Nothing by Kate Carraway.
