– Famed supermodel Elle Macpherson wants to dispel the myth that models don’t eat. “My worst habit is eating too much — I eat like it’s going out of fashion, really,” Macpherson, 47, tells Australia’s Sky News. “But I stay active with things like water-skiing and horse riding, and I guess that keeps the weight off.” So what exactly does the former Victoria’s Secret model munch on? “I tend to snack on whatever me and the boys have left over from our regular weekly menu,” she says. “So that’ll be a bit of chicken from Wednesday night’s dinner, steak from Thursday night, fish from Friday, and so on.” [Style List]

Heavy summer rain across large parts of China has triggered the country's worst floods in a decade.

BEIJING (AFP) – Three people were missing and more than 50,000 others evacuated in northeast China Saturday after flooding along the Yalu river, which forms the border with North Korea, officials and state media said.

Thousands were evacuated at the time.

Across the border in North Korea, widespread flooding this summer has washed away homes, roads, railways and farmland, and caused an unspecified number of fatalities, according to state media reports from Pyongyang.

Officials cited by Xinhua said only riverside areas,Rock Republic, not downtown Dandong, had been affected.

"The rescuers are at risk of sinking into the mud any time," the agency quoted military officer Yang Pingang as saying in Puladi township, where more rain was also expected.

Storms were expected to batter the area throughout Saturday.

Earlier this month, authorities suspended shipping and tourist traffic on the Yalu amid fears of flooding, as the waterway had seen more rain in a two-week period than at any comparable time in recorded history.

Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top Communist party leaders have made personal donations to help survivors of the disaster in Zhouqu, where at least 1,407 people were killed and more than 350 others are missing, Xinhua said.

Earlier, another official in the same office insisted the situation was "not serious" in the city of 2.4 million.

Xinhua however said that some roads were submerged along the river,Paul Smith, and houses in Dandong were flooded with water that was knee-deep, after heavy rain which began early Friday swelled the water level in the Yalu.

In 2007, the impoverished nation reported at least 600 people dead or missing from devastating floods.

An official at Dandong's flood control headquarters confirmed the number of people missing and evacuated when contacted by AFP, but said he could not provide any further information about the emergency efforts.

About 230 homes have collapsed in the city of Dandong and some transport, power and communication links have been cut off but no fatalities have been reported, the Xinhua news agency reported, citing the local government.

Elsewhere in China, rescuers were still searching for about 80 people who went missing in rain-triggered mudslides in a remote part of the southwestern province of Yunnan. Twelve people have been confirmed dead, Xinhua said.

Nearly 3,900 people have been killed or left missing this year in China in flood-related incidents, including about 1,750 victims of devastating mudslides in a remote northwestern town on August 7-8, official figures show.

"The task is dangerous," said rescuer Cao Dashuai.

Hundreds of homeless villagers have been moved to two temporary shelters in the township, Xinhua said.

Workers were racing to build a sand-bag flood barrier along the part of the river where the barriers had been breached, the agency reported.

“Leo Benjamin Gordon was born at 8:53 a.m., weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces and was 19 inches long,” read a statement.

Boucheron took the feather theme literally for one of its unique suites, called Pretty Puff, in which multicolored diamonds were sprinkled over a puffball of white swan feathers. And since versatility is a coveted attribute in haute jewelry (necklace, with or without heavily jeweled brooch, for example), the house pushed the concept to the extreme with the Curlicue five-in-one concept that by turns could be a necklace, two bracelets, a diamond hair clip, or a brooch.

At Dior, a panorama of jewels spanned the classically beautiful—significant Les Précieuses engagement rings and the new Rose Dior Bagatelle rings covered with rubies or pink sapphires—to the more far-out, with one-of-a-kind items from Victoire de Castellane’s wild Coffret de Victoire. One cuff sets a pink tourmaline rabbit in a garden of fire-opal pumpkins; on another, a burnished silver monkey can be lifted from his bejeweled perch. Bollywood earrings, twined with serpents, hang over the ear, as they’re worn in India.

Van Cleef & Arpels drew inspiration from Jules Verne for its Les Voyages Extraordinaires collection, shown at a presentation staged by Argentinean theater director Alfredo Arias. The travels spanned oceans and terra firma. Over here, diamond-encrusted polar bears and penguins swanned on hefty tourmaline glaciers; there, an elephant head paved in gray and white diamonds, dangling a 41-carat topaz, stood in for the African leg of the jaunt. Several pieces were customizable: A whale brooch could spout a jet of diamonds, thanks to integrated springs—now you see it, now you don’t. And if, after all the creatures, you didn’t care for the menagerie,ffxiv power leveling, well, there were always the classical constellations—Calliope and Andromeda, re-created to scale.

Couture week closed out in a blaze of multicolored carats that had editors scurrying from the Place Vendôme to Avenue Montaigne and back again. Not only does the new haute joaillerie day extend the ever-shrinking week by a day, it provided the big houses with a forum to preview their lavish creations for the 25th Biennale des Antiquaires, opening in Paris mid-September. This season,lanyards, flora and fauna ran rampant.

Chanel dove into its archives and surfaced with a feather theme, anchored by the articulated brooch Diane Kruger wore in her hair at Cannes (pictured); it’s an exact replica of one created by Mlle. Chanel in 1932. An articulated cuff of pavé diamond feathers was trimmed in black diamonds and set with a hidden closure. The feathery wisps were echoed elsewhere, too, as with the Comet necklace, which drapes diamonds around the nape of the neck.
