Those who like to shop for things a bit out of the ordinary, things with a decidedly artistic flair, will want to save some time during the weekend of Oct. 12-14. That’s when the 19th annual Westchester Fine Craft Show comes to the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
If you haven’t seen “Homeland,” the addictive-as-potato-chips spy series that returns to Showtime Sept. 30, you really must and you can begin with the first season, now on DVD. Damian Lewis – so brilliant as the hero of HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and the sympathetic antiheroes in PBS’ “The Forsyte Saga” and NBC’s late
So the October issue of Vogue is about to hit the newsstands (Sept. 25) and already there’s been a hue and cry about Annie Leibovitz’s pix of a shirtless Tim Tebow rolling a huge tire through a rocky landscape. It’s an image that conjures Greek myths (Atlas, Sisyphus), Surrealism and homoerotic muscle mags.
The place to be on a Saturday night? Well, that must be Savona, the new contemporary Italian restaurant in Scarsdale. We sampled an excellent antipasto of grilled eggplant and portobello mushrooms, chickpea salad, roasted peppers and cauliflower; oh-so-tender veal Milanese; torchio with prosciutto, Jersey corn and robiolina; and the creamiest tiramisu we’ve ever had. The service is attentive without being obsequious; the decor, attractively sedate, allowing you to concentrate on good food, good company.

This month marks the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death and there are, not surprisingly, any number of new books and articles that would pluck at the heart of her mystery, so to speak – including Andrew Hansford and Karen Homer’s eye candy, “Dressing Marilyn” (Applause Theatre & Cinema Books), about William Travilla’s costume designs for the actress; and Lois Banner’s feminist reevaluation, “Marilyn Monroe: The Passion and the Paradox” (Bloomsbury). There’s also the soap operatic (read: addictive as a box of Godiva) NBC drama “Smash,” about the making of a Marilyn musical, and the recent “My Week With Marilyn,” in which Michelle Williams poignantly embodied rather than impersonated her.
