A Voice From The Capitol
2007 should be an interesting year for the Mississippi Legislature. First, for obvious reasons, it is an election year.

<b><em>I'm Not Jealous</b></em>
So, I am at home tonight and, from another room, my husband yells, "I love Donna Ladd!" Just earlier he informed me that the latest Jackson Free Press contained the article, "The Mayor and His Women" (Editor's Note, July 12-18, 2007). Am I jealous because of this outburst? No, I am thankful to Donna, once again, for reporting and explaining the ridiculous state of affairs in which we find ourselves.
Celebrate the Best, Fix the Rest

Stop the Lakes-v.-Levees Drama
In recent months, the Jackson Free Press was pleased to see the Rankin-Hinds Levee Board seemingly get unlocked from the years-long Lakes-v.-Levees standoff that had prevented any forward movement toward flood control along the Pearl River and, with any luck, some smart and green economic development thrown in, to boot.
Shimmy to The Church Keys

Get Your Freak On
If you want an upbeat and danceable peek into Josh Hailey and Tre Pepper's mind, J-TRAN's self-titled debut album is your best bet.

Gold and Orange and Red, Oh My!
When it comes to color, I'm usually an equal opportunist. But since fall officially arrived and the temperatures are changing, I seem to only be able to focus on one side of the color wheel.
The Secession Bandwagon
It seems Mississippi Sen. Joey Fillingane, R-Sumrall, is out to prove an election-year point by appealing to the most extreme fringe of the far right.
The Rest of the Story
A good stylist always has options. We show up to a shoot with more clothes than we need, just in case. That means we always have pieces or looks that we love but just couldn't work into the current assignment. Here are a few of my favorites that didn't make the spring fashion shoot (see page 20) but could well be in your wardrobe for the upcoming season.

The event regularly attracts more than 60,000 locals and tourists to participate in the festivities and brings upwards of $7 million into the local economy.
What Happened to Winter?
It seems that winter almost completely passed us by this year, which means our local stores still have stock. Lucky for us, most fall and winter merchandise is marked down, making now a perfect time to scoop up some basics for next year. While I was out around town, I found some excellent things that will be great to work into next winter's wardrobe.
I Do, I Do
