Gap's High-end Style Cool Injection Came Courtesy Of Some Of The Industry's Biggest Players. Marie-amalie Sauve The Influential Fashion Director At French Vogue Who Is Also A Consultant For Balenciaga And A Stylist For Gucci Styled The Show Working With Casting Director Russell Marsh.

Plastic Fantastic!
987312 COM
HAVE THEY OR HAVEN'T THEY? - PLASTIC FANTASTIC
Have they or haven't they? That's the age old question when it comes to celebs and plastic surgery.
Fame can often be a young person's game so it's little surprise that some stars decide that the act of growing old gracefully needs a little help.
A nip here and a tuck there to give nature a helping hand is practically de rigueur when you live your life on a cinema screen or in the glare of a paparazzo's camera.
These stars have all prompted speculation due to their changing faces - from nipped in nostrils and plumped up pouts, to ironed out wrinkles and crow's feet corrections.
Some go for the subtle look, leaving it unclear whether their fresh new look is the work of a scalpel or simply 'healthy living'.
Such coyness means that snaps of stars such as Goldie Hawn, Madonna, Meg Ryan and Posh Spice are regularly speculated over.
Whether the rest of these stars have or haven't gone under the knife? It's between them and their surgeon.
One thing is for sure though - these celebs are now all looking suspiciously plastic fantastic.
But can you really expect any different when it comes to the knifestyles of the rich and famous?

The Rocanville potash mine owed by the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan in Rocanville. Fertilizer giant PotashCorp says a US$38.6-billion hostile takeover bid from global mining colossus BHP Billiton is so low it's tantamount to "stealing" in a terse rejection of the Anglo-Australian company's initial attempt to consummate what is potentially one of the biggest deals in Canadian history.

Mexico Murder Town
A young girl after school in Juarez, Mexico, on Tuesday, March 28, 2006.
The sprawling Mexican border town of Ciudad Juarez is home to a legion of maquiladoras (foreign export assembly plants), industrial work, foreign money and desperation that fuel an ongoing mystery that has plagued the town for years.
In the last nine years, more than 300 young women have either been kidnapped or have disappeared. Some are found dead, their bodies dumped and hastily buried outside town, but the vast majority are never heard from again, their families left wondering, assuming the worst.
Organized crime and prostitution are rife, but families keep migrating to the slums of Juarez, hoping to be one of the estimated one million Mexican workers employed at some 3,000 maquiladoras for between $4 and $9 a day.
But the factories, Juarez? proximity to the U.S. border, and the influx of foreigners and U.S. dollars also attract a darker kind of industry.
Drug cartels and prostitution have flourished in Juarez, thriving on Americans who cross the border with relative ease. Money can buy anything on the streets of Juarez, including sex with a young girl for as little as $20 and the silence of corrupt police and officials.
Trying to navigate the layers of crime and corruption behind the mystery of Juarez? disappeared can be deadly, but a handful of hardened human rights groups shoulder the burden. Activists at the Juarez-based Casa Amiga help grieving families cope with their loss and raise awareness about the dangerous risks women take to make a meager living. The group has blanketed the town with the pink crosses that have come to symbolize the missing women. **Germany Out, Israel Out** (FOTO: DUKAS/WORLDPICTURENEWS)
