Known as the area "within the magic circle;" the Western town of Woodlake; along with its surrounding valley; is rich in both natural resources and hardworking citizens who are proud of their heritage. Most Tulare County towns sprang up along the Southern Pacific Railroad. Woodlake; designed as a tourist town; drew together farming communities; consisting of people too busy raising fruit and cattle to create a town. Starting with Thomas Henry Davis in 1853; settlers established farms and ranches; which attracted Los Angeles millionaire Gilbert Stevenson when he arrived in 1907. Approved by the Tulare County Board of Supervisors on October 3; 1911; the world-class tourist town named Woodlake grew from Stevensons imagination into reality. Led by the strong sales personality of its founder; Woodlake grew quickly; yet it remained a Western town; retaining reference points to the early communities that visitors would not find on signs. Visitors to Woodlake today will find Woodlakeans still doing what attracted Gilbert Stevenson: raising cattle and growing citrus within protection of the Sierra Nevada and foothills.

I had left the "interview" with Alexander McQueen until this week. It was a mind changer. Having been in fashion in some way all my life . I had ignored McQueens work because it was simply not interesting to me.But I had heard Ms Goldbin speak at the De young Museum in SF back in 2011...and felt she was a very balanced person.I must say that what I already knew. was that when McQueen moved from his OWN Work to try and do Givenchy. he was driving himself to the edge. Play the notes we know. keeps us in a more balanced world...even if it does not make us staggeringly rich....We do need to choose OUR OWN LIFE.Thank you for this space to comment.JG0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Legends in fashion talk to usBy Steven ErikA truly interesting way of introducing to us here and now the late fashion designers. Pamela made it seem she was interviewing the designers as though they were sitting in front of her today. Very enjoyable reading.
