`
`HEADLINE: Observer Magazine: TRIGGER HAPPY: After years of clinically cool minimalism, designers seem torn
`between a new warmer aesthetic and the excesses of bad taste. Fiona Rattray isn't blown away by gold-plated gun lamps
`at the Milan Furniture Fair
`
`BYLINE: Fiona Rattray
`
`BODY:
`
`Thank heavens for the chestnut seller. After four days spent traipsing around Milan's giant Furniture Fair in search of
`new furniture and lighting trends, I was sick to death of design. Every April the interiors industry descends on the city to
`flog its wares and test the waters with the latest looks. This year, the strongest contender for a unifying theme seemed to
`be excess and bad taste. Minimalism is dead, and no-one, it seems, has the faintest idea what to do next.
`
`So, as I hobbled towards the metro station (next year I will mostly be wearing a pedometer), I could have kissed the_
`man whose sweet—smelling chestnuts seemed so gratifyingly down—to—earth.
`
`Don't get me wrong; there is some hope for the world of interiors. Dutch designer Hella Jongerius was showing a new
`feminine take on the sofa for the influential Swiss company Vitra. With hand—sewn buttons and a mix of coloured fabrics,
`it suggests that the days of the butch minimalist sofa (you know the ones, skinny metal legs and barely there upholstery)
`may be numbered.
`
`If you looked hard enough in Milan, you could detect a slight shift away from the harsh—coloured acrylic and steel of
`recent years towards a new, softer aesthetic. At Edra, the young British—based Dutch designer Peter Traag had swaddled
`his fantastic new Mummy dining chairs in copious strips of bright colour. Sturdy-but-cosy felt was enjoying a revival: at
`the inaugural show by the British company Established & Sons, Michael Young used the thick wool fabric as a cover for
`his snazzy new writing desk. While Jasper Morrison was championing cork, another gently retro material, with his dainty
`occasional tables for Cappellini.
`
`On the metal front, it was move over cold chrome and aluminium, because shiny copper — last seen in Seventies
`bistros — is making a comeback. On Torn Dixon's new big—balled lampshades it looked wami and wonderful. At Moooi,
`sheet metal came printed with florals, on a pretty chest of drawers. The out-there Dutch company was one of several that
`plundered antique details (a turned wood leg here, a Chesterfield stud there), and mixed them with modern. Before you
`go sawing the legs off your gran's dining table, I should add that few of these experiments were very successful.
`
`If you absolutely must have the latest thing in contemporary design here are some top tips. More than one person I
`met during the Milan week (designers, curators, magazine editors, store buyers. . . they've come from the four comers of
`the earth to be here) was singing the praises of Ezri Tarazi's New Baghdad table.
`
`The Israeli designer's map ofthe Iraqi capital, which forms the table top, is cleverly constructed using a patchwork of
`industrial metal components. The spaces between them cast shadows on the floor. So far so good. But what do you use a
`table for’? Apart from eating, they're for putting things down on, right? And who wants to spend their life on their knees
`picking up their keys.
`
`If you do fancy a New Baghdad table, mightI suggest a Philippe Starck gun light to go with it’! The French designer
`knows a thing or two about making a stir at the Milan Furniture Fair, but that still didn't stop my jaw hitting the floor when
`I saw his battery of golden guns (seriously they're l8ct gold plated), on the Flos lighting stand.

`
`One wag suggested this might be Starck's attempt at storming the burgeoning Russian market. I couldn't possibly
`comment. I can say that ifyou're the kind of person who could sleep easy with the bedside table version beside you, you're
`going to love this next suggestion. .
`.
`_
`
`A few years ago, the then slightly nafi‘ Austrian crystal company Swarovski played a blinder at the Milan Furniture
`Fair by commissioning international designers to create chandeliers in its name. Tord Boontje's delicate Blossom version
`was a huge critical hit for example. This year they did it again. Only this time they let Lenny Kravitz design one. The pop
`star’s black and chrome Casino Royale chandelier weighs in at 220kg (that's three big blokes to you and me, and trust me,
`three men on a rope would be more elegant). Suffice it to say that no self-respecting Vegas casino would be seen dead
`with one.
`
`Far more interesting was Swarovski's collaboration with the Swiss design school Ecal. The bright spark students
`eschewed vulgar display in favour of the quietly charming. One filled a roll of bubble wrap with individual crystals (one
`for all the inveterate poppers out there), another designed a wall light with a swinging crystal pendulum. Milan as ever
`veers from the ridiculous to the sublime, sometimes within the same company.
`
`At the exit to the fair the chestnut—seller handed me my roast chestnuts. A second, empty paper bag hung loosely
`from the side. I was all set to tear this extra bag off, then, I realised, one half is for the cooked chestnuts, the second for
`the peelings. And just like that the gaudy guns and ugly chandeliers evaporated, my faith in good design restored. OM

`
`BYLINE: Jose Lambiet
`
`BODY:
`
`There's a new power couple on the entertainment scene - one unusual enough to get the tart tongues of Palm Beach
`afiutter. They're Nick Tamposi and his wife, Marianne, the founders of a new local talent agency, P Model Management.
`
`Less than a year after they settled here, they've started booking high-profile gigs for local talent, but there's another
`thing about the Tamposis: They're the area's Demi Moore and_Ashton Kutcher.
`
`"I look a little older than on paper," says Nick. "And Marianne looks younger."
`
`Pure Palm Beach, Nick is the son of former St. Ann School principal and TV personality Candace Tamposi. He's 23. A
`woman who says she can trace her lineage to Denmark's royals, Marianne is a retired model who once owned Marianne's
`Models Inc. in Miami.
`
`She's also l8 years older than Nick.
`
`They were hitched almost three years ago, two months after Marianne's first divorce was final. They have two children,
`3 and 5.
`
`"I liked her right away," said Nick's mom, just 12 years older than her daughter—in—law.
`
`The lovebirds‘ business, meanwhile, hasn't been bad either. They've specialized in signing up the children of rich Palm
`Beachers with whom Nick grew up to modeling and recording contracts.
`
`Some big deals: They've signed Christina Coniglio, l9, daughter of WPB watering hole E.R. Bradley's owner Frank
`Coniglio, to the upcoming summer campaign of pimple—set clothier Abercrombie & Fitch; Nick's sister, Ali Tamposi, 15,
`to a Universal music recording contract; and Bettina Anderson, l8, daughter of banker H. Loy Anderson, to a modeling
`gig in Milan, Italy.
`TOP COPS END THIRD MARRIAGES
`
`A high-profile marriage made in cop-land is done.
`
`Eugene Savage, chief of the Fort Pierce Police Department, and Gwendolyn Boyd, his counterpart at the North Miami
`PD, were recently divorced in a Palm Beach County court - ending a third attempt at wedded bliss for both.
`
`"It was an amicable split," said Jerome Stone, whose Stuart law finn represented Savage. The chief doesn't comment
`on his private life.
`
`Yet Boyd did, and confirmed rumors that Savage has a roving ‘eye - although Stone insisted the Fort Pierce top cop's
`alleged affair with his secretary had nothing to do with the split. "lrreconcilablc differences" was listed on the file.
`
`"I caught Gene with his secretary at our house," Boyd said. "She was a friend, yet] found her in my bathroom, half-
`naked."
`
`Boyd said she was tipped ofi‘ to his extracurricular activities when anonymous letters detailing his relationship and

`
`lovey—dovey e-mails hacked from Savage's work computer last year ended up on Boyd's desk.
`
`'’I was about to file for divorce," she said, "but Gene jumped the gun to save face."
`
`According to the divorce settlement, 56-year-old Savage - a fonner WPB assistant chief- gets to keep his Ford truck
`and a Lincoln SUV, a Fort Pierce home and the Bowflex muscle machine. Boyd keeps the Vegas time-share, a Lake Worth
`home, a model—car kit and the big TV.

`TRUMP CHECKS OUT KENDRA STORY
`
`Uh-oh. Donald Trump doesn't like to hear negatives about his potential employees.
`
`Trump told Page Two he will investigate the recent allegations of nonpayment against one of The Apprentice 3'5 two
`finalists, Boynton Beach real estate entrepreneur Kendra Todd.
`
`We reported Friday that the 26-year-old Todd is being sued by a WPB man who says she stiffed him on a measly
`$750 fee for work on a Web site.
`
`Trump said he "will look into this. I'm going to go through the complaint and ask some tough questions."
`Could this sway him to pick the other finalist, lowan Tana Goertz?
`
`"You bet this is something I will consider," he said, "but obviously I need to hear Kendra's version."
`
`A lawyer for complainant Doug Balch, 49, said a rep for Todd asked Friday how they could make the suit "go away."
`
`"I told him to just pay the man," said Brian Guralnick, Balch's attorney. "But he wanted me and Doug to sign all kinds
`of confidentiality clauses. That's not happening."
`
`The Apprentice 3 winner, who gets a six-figure job in Trump's organization, will be picked by the tycoon on the May
`19 show.

`HEADLINE: MARLINS MOVING TO VEGAS? DON'T BET ON IT
`
`BYLINE: Joe Capozzi
`
`DATELINE: LAS VEGAS
`
`BODY:
`
`On a cool December morning, three Florida Marlins officials stepped out of a taxi on Las Vegas Boulevard across
`from the mock Statue of Liberty at New York New York and a replica Eiffel Tower.
`
`Strolling under the head of comedian Carrot Top, whose blinking image leaped from a Jumbotron marquee, they
`entered the MGM Grand. Making their way through a ringing maze of slot machines, they passed blackjack tables,
`roulette wheels and two lions inside a glass den until they found casino executive Alan Feldman’s ofiice.
`
`There, in a quiet second—floor refuge, they talked baseball — specifically, the odds of bringing the Marlins or any other
`Major League Baseball team to Las Vegas.
`
`More than five months after that visit, the prospect of the Marlins playing in Las Vegas is a long shot — even in light of
`the Florida Legislature's failure Friday to provide the final chunk of money for a new ballpark in Miami.
`
`And if the Marlins’ visit had a purpose, the team officials probably didn't like what they heard.
`
`'’If there was any interest on their part in using this as a negotiating issue, it probably got pretty well wiped out after
`their meeting with me," said Feldman, vice president of public affairs for MGM Mirage, the largest employer, landowner
`and taxpayer in Clark County, Nevada.
`
`"The discussion l had with them, which was very frank and very candid, was this: Anyone who wants to build a
`professional sports team is more than welcome in Las Vegas. We'd love to see it. But we will stand in the street and stop
`any semblance of tax support for a stadium.
`
`''In this market, companies like ours invest hundreds of millions of dollars a year in new attractions and new things to
`bring guests to town. The thought that our city would be put into the position of investing hundreds of millions of dollars
`in taxpayer money to build an attraction to attract people is absurd.
`
`"Around here, you bring your own money to the poker game. We have the most vibrant tourism economy of any city
`in world, bar none. The presence of major league sports is not going make us or break us."
`
`Of course, a team could move to Las Vegas and build its own ballpark. But the earliest a stadium could be ready is
`2010, when the city's population, currently 1.7 million, is projected to reach 3 million. If a team began play today, Las
`Vegas would be the smallest media market of any city in the majors.
`
`"There's not a day that goes by that I don't have a number ofpeople talking about it," said Don Logan, general manager
`for the Las Vegas 51, the Class AAA afiiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. "But the people here that really follow it and
`understand it know we're a ways away from having anything in place to accommodate a team."
`
`The Marlins have several Vegas connections. Team owner Jefi'ery Loria has known Logan for nearly 20 years.
`Feldman is a longtime friend ofBruce Rubin, Loria's publicity consultant, who helped arrange the Vegas visit.

`
`"The Marlins‘ visit helped elevate the discussion on whether Las Vegas is ready for a major—league team," Feldman
`said.
`
`"But I don't think anyone's really believing that the Marlins are coming here. No one around here is walking around
`wearing Marlins shirts. To be honest we're rooting for the Marlins to do what they're doing, which is to find a home in
`South Florida and do well in South Florida. This is a franchise that's won two world championships in ll years? Come
`on. You don't want to see that move. You don't want to see that happen. That's not good for baseball."

`HEADLINE: I4 BRIDESMAIDS WERE BEST CLUE THAT RUNAWAY WOULDN'T BE BRIDE
`
`BYLINE: Nicole Piscopo Neal Features Editor
`
`BODY:
`
`You'd think we'd have suspected the fiance in that whole "With This Ring, 1 Thee Fled" story. Had he grown weary
`of debating the merits of Lenox's "Poppies on Blue" china pattern vs. Wedgwood's "Celestial Platinum" and chucked his
`high—maintenance bride-to-be in the Chattahoochee?
`
`But women ofa certain age - like, over 23 - knew early on that infamous "runaway bride" Jennifer Wilbanks was the
`one capable of inflicting supreme cruelty on the ones she loved.
`'
`
`And the proof was in two words: 14 bridesmaids.
`
`Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, jilted l4 bridesmaids, not to mention 14 groomsmen, when she laced up her running shoes in
`Georgia and ended up in Albuquerque.
`
`Fourteen bridesmaids? Fourteen?! She could stage her own production of Steel Magnolias with fewer bodies.
`
`Just getting that wedding platoon down the aisle would give the organist carpal tunnel.
`
`Now, to be fair, her fondant has probably been sliding ofl" her cake, if you know what I mean, for quite some time.
`After all, she did lop off her own hair, a behavior mental-health professionals consider more "Squeaky Fromme" than
`"Modern Bride”. And she did willingly board a eross—country bus- why notjust affix wheels to a Port—o-Potty and glide
`from Georgia to Vegas and beyond? — for her escapade.
`
`But it's that "14 bridesmaids" tidbit that's the most revealing.
`
`It's one thing to be 22 and impulsively squeal a gushy, "I want you to be, like, my bridesmaids!!!" to your six best
`friends (du jour), and they say "YES!!!" and everyone jumps up and down, and the bride-to-be goes to DogUglyDresses
`.com, and somewhere in Taiwan sewing machines rev up and tum bolts of puce sateen and stretch lace into what will
`become, next Halloween, $200 Atlantic City Drag Queen costumes for six (now resentful) young women.
`But it's another thing altogether to be 32 and conscript 14 grown women — and 14 matching men - to haul tushy
`to Georgia in order to line up and escort you safely down 30 feet of church aisle. What's waiting at the other end? A
`machine-gun nest?
`
`Are these throw-down bridesmaids, in case a rogue faction of the ring—bearer brigade has planted land mines in the
`aisle runner?
`
`At the ripe old age of 32, everyone knows that being a bridesmaid is truly an act of love. O_nl_y for someone for whom
`your affection runs deep and true is the purchase of the puce dress, a plane ticket, a few nights in a hotel, a stifi updo, a
`shower gift, a wedding gift, etc. etc. etc., culminating in the climactic moment - a forced march in dyed pumps -an honor.
`
`By your 305, petty jealousies of the l-wasn't—invited-to-the—popular-girl's-slumber—party variety have long since
`evaporated, so it's not like anyone with a maturity quotient over the Middle School Girl level is going to feel left out.
`
`By this time, too, attrition has thinned the friendship ranks, leaving a few beloved souls who, truth be told, are thrilled
