13 year old blogger has fashion world at her feet

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
There were florals, thigh-high boots, Victoria Beckham in a painted-on tan and Madonna in Gucci and new wrinkleless skin. But the true star of New York Fashion Week, which closed on Thursday, was Tavi Gevinson, a diminutive teenage fashion blogger from the suburbs of Chicago.

The fashion world has gone out of its way to court Tavi, who describes herself as a "tiny 13-year-old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats".

This month she is on the cover of Dasha Zhukova's relaunched Pop magazine, interviewed by Pixie Geldof in Katie Grand's new issue of Love, and has been pictured on the front rows of this season's biggest fashion shows, with editors and celebrities seated behind her.

Nuclear deal suspense grows, Prime Minister in United States

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
Indian officials accompanying Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his visit to the United States are nervous about the outcome of US Congressional vote on the agreement.

“We have to see in what form the Congress accepts the agreement,” a prime ministerial aide said.

On Tuesday, the US Congress’s business committee is likely to finalise a schedule for voting on the 123 agreement and other possible resolutions that could be riders to the agreement.

Some of these resolutions could throw up prescriptions politically unpalatable in India, particularly on the country’s right to conduct a nuclear test in future.

2,500 Indians may lose jobs: markets rocked

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
US Investment giant Lehman Brothers on Monday said it has gone bankrupt amid a worsening credit crisis in the home country, while rival Merrill Lynch, also bitten by the same bug, managed to find a buyer.

The news roiled markets worldwide, including India where the Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex plunged 850 points, or 6.1per cent, in intra-day trading. It later recovered halfway to close at 13, 531 points.

But Lehman and Merrm Lynch's India connection goes much beyond stock swings. Both companies have been rapidly expanding operations here, besides hiring aggressively in India to shore up talent for such key bases as New York and London.

Lehman currently employs about 2,500 people in India, most of whom run the risk of losing their jobs.

Hillary asks Bush to skip ceremony

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has urged President George W. Bush to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies this summer unless China improves human rights.

Hillary, in a statement, cited violent clashes in Tibet and the lack of pressure by China on Sudan to stop "the genocide in Darfur".

"At this time, and in light of recent events, I believe President Bush should not plan on attending the opening ceremonies in Beijing, absent major changes by the Chinese government," the New York senator said.

Bush plans to attend the Summer Olympics ceremonies in Beijing in August and so far has resisted pressure to change his plans in response to a violent crackdown against protesters in Tibet by Chinese authorities.

China has also been accused of refusing to use its influence on the Sudanese government to get it to stop what the US calls a genocide in the Darfur region.

Hillary has gone a step further than US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California who last week urged Bush to keep the option of boycotting the ceremonies on the table.

"I encourage the Chinese to take advantage of this moment as an opportunity to live up to universal human aspirations of respect for human rights and unity, ideals that the Olympic games have come to represent," Hillary said.
