It’s always heartening when a down-home, Midwestern girl makes it big out there in the big city. Case in point: Kate Brosnahan, the St. Teresa’s Academy graduate who went to work for Mademoiselle in New York City, married Andy Spade and launched a line of handbags, shoes, stationery and clothing under the charmingly lowercase brand name kate spade.
Spade's signature bags are stiff and have sharp-looking edges. I once saw a woman proudly carrying a white one under her arm. It had a little yellow half-moon at the top. A handbag pit-stain. But Kate doesn’t need my approval - according to Wikipedia, she was projected to have made $200 million in sales in 2005.
I also didn’t know what Spade looked like. My first introduction to our local-gal-made-good was this picture above, taken at the Met Costume Institute Ball on May 7 and posted recently on the Go Fug Yourself fashion blog.
Now that our homegrown Spade can afford to wear de la Renta, surely she can afford to keep a friend or two around who will tell her when she’s about to leave the house looking like a black-and-white candy corn. – Nadia Pflaum

I always read the article on blogs before I leave a short review. If I have absolutely nothing to say about the piece topic, I will never leave any feed-back. And I favor to read somebody else�s opinions on that post also. Because I am able to find both useful and interesting ideas from sound comments. I'd have posted �Fine blog! Exciting posts!� then I might be spamming your blog. I also develop a weblog, first thing I'd personally do daily when i signed on my web page is check out feed-back to my content articles and by hand approve or reject these responses. Keywordluv not merely brings you more commenters. It promotes your position in search engines being you�re not merely on a myriad of �dofollow blog lists� but in addition on a handful of those �keywordluv lists�. Thanks, Cath
