All The Nudes That Are Fit To Print: It's no exaggeration to say
La Repubblica is Italy's finest newspaper. It's liberal, modern, intelligent and independent. Along with Spain's
El Pais; France's
Libération and
Le Monde; the UK's
Guardian; Germany's
Die Zeit and Portugal's
Público, it's one of the mainstays of the European Left and Centre-Left. And yet its website offers
calendars in the, er,
Pirelli tradition of time-keeping. Imagine the
New York Times being similarly... liberal. Can soft prOn and serious reporting live together? Is it an Italian thing? The only other example I can think of is Spain's
Interviú, a magazine which in its heyday mixed superb (again, left-leaning) investigative journalism with politically incorrect - and photographically retouched - tits and ass. (
NSFW, obviously, unless you're somewhere in Southern Europe or Louisiana.)

The New Shaker Wives Aren't Really Into Furniture or puritanism or bonnets. But kickass cocktails? And
revenge? That,
yes. Oh yes. Empowering? I should bloody well think so.
Disgruntled housewives you say? I say their boring, stupid husbands don't appreciate their luck, more likely. Explore their website,
enjoy and
learn! [
Offered as a companion-piece to tranquileye's June 2002 Ladies For The Preservation Of Cocktails post. P.S. This is neither here nor there but the more I live and know, the more I love and respect women and the less I like men.]
