Doonan My Night With Raquel Bombshell crashes Fashion Week! By Simon Doonan Posted Thursday, Feb 16, 2012, at 09:12 PM ET Raquel Welch is wearing a slinky tobacco-colored jersey dress by Michael Kors. Her petite torso is configured into an impressive hourglass shape. Gold, strappy Jimmy Choos adorn her coquettishly tiny tootsies. The pièce de résistance? The feline natural beauty of her face, still mesmerizing at 71. The pièce de la pièce de résistance? That perfectly fluffed wig. "What's this one called?" I ask with genuine enthusiasm. Like Raquel, I am big believer in wigs. I cannot understand why anyone would opt for painful plugs or time-wasting, budget-busting weaves and extensions when wigs are an option. As Raquel succinctly put it in her 2010 autobio Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage, "with the aid of a wig, I have more versatility in my life, and so can you!" "This particular wig is called Spotlight," says Miss Welch, patting her man-made coiffure with obvious affection. Fabricated from heat-friendly synthetic hair, Spotlight is one of a multitude of fetching styles from Raquel Welch's hugely successful wig collection. Each model has a showbizzy name like Scene Stealer or Ovation. There is even a Callista Gingrich-esque style named Upstage. If you have even the slightest inclination to impersonate Callista next Halloween, then you would be well-advised to cough up the $340 now. Who knows how popular (or unpopular) that style might prove to be come October? Last Friday night, the three of us—Spotlight, Raquel, and I—headed onto the stage of the Lincoln Center Film Society to kick off ... To continue reading, click here.

Dear Prudence Brotherly Love My twin and I share an earth-shattering secret that could devastate our family—should we reveal it?

Dear Prudence, My fraternal twin and I (both men) are in our late 30s. We were always extremely close and shared a bedroom growing up. When we were 12 we gradually started experimenting sexually with each other. After a couple of years, we realized we had fallen in love. Of course we felt guilty and ashamed, and we didn't dare tell anyone what we were doing. We hoped it was "just a phase" that we'd grow out of, but we wound up sleeping together  until we left for college. We knew this could ruin our lives, so we made a pact to end it. We attended schools far apart and limited our contact to family holidays. But we never fell out of love with each other, so after graduation we moved in together and have been living very discreetly as a monogamous couple ever since. I'm not writing to you to pass moral judgment on our relationship—we're at peace and very happy. Our dilemma is how to deal with our increasingly nosy family and friends. They know we're gay, and we ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?

Politics: A Kinder, Gentler Rick Santorum

Politics A Kinder, Gentler Rick Santorum Now that the man in the vest is surging in the polls, he's toning down his talk on homosexuality, gay marriage, and abortion. Meet Santorum 2.0. By David Weigel Posted Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012, at 11:14 PM ET On Monday, the gods of campaign scheduling were in full-on prank mode. In Olympia, Wash., Gov. Christine Gregoire signed legislation making hers the seventh state where gays can marry. Less than an hour later, Rick Santorum arrived at the state capital to hobnob with defeated religious leaders. There he was: The sponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, the man who'd taken "arrows in the back" to battle gay marriage laws, the guy who was so hated by gay activists that his name had been turned into a frothy sexual slur. What would he say? He would tell everyone to be respectful and get along. "There are legitimate reasons that people have to want … to change the law," he said. "And there are legitimate reasons that people have to want to keep the law in place." He did not talk about a war on Christianity, or the need to abolish state legislators. "There are ebbs and flows in every battle." Later, at a heckler-hassled speech in Tacoma, Santorum barely mentioned the new law. Protesters—the local Occupy hitching post was a short walk away—shouted  him down whenever they could. Most stories about the rally led with the attempts to disrupt it, not the marriage material. The Rick Santorum who's soaring in primary polls looks a lot like the Santorum who lost his 2006 re-election bid by 18 points. Here is a difference: His culture war talk is softer, more implied. He talks up his welfare reform role and ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?

Moneybox: Citizenship for Sale

Politics Citizenship for Sale St. Kitts and Nevis will let you buy citizenship. The United States should do the same. By Matthew Yglesias Posted Thursday, Feb 16, 2012, at 04:31 PM ET St. Kitts and Nevis, the Caribbean location of the world's first machete attack on a U.S. Supreme Court justice, also sporadically attracts the world's attention for its unusual citizenship practices. That's because you too can be a Kittitian and Nevisian for the not-so-low price of $250,000. All you have to do is hand over the cash. Why would you want such a thing? Well, for residents of developing countries gaining access to a potential exit strategy in case of political instability is valuable. Some members of the old Egyptian elite, for example, might wish they had a nice island to flee to. For the rest, the islands' lack of income taxation may be all the inducement needed. As for the islands themselves, every bit of export earnings helps, especially since this particular form involves virtually no sacrifice on the part of the native-born. Indeed, the fact that the rather meager benefits the islands offer command such a high price naturally raises the question of whether a country that people actually want to move to—the United States of America, say—should get in on the game. After all, lots of people want to come here. They want to come so badly that we spend more than $5 billion a year trying to keep them out. They want to come so badly that they pay thousands of dollars to coyotes to help them sneak past Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol. Having made ...
