Steven Meisel and Vogue Italia have come up with a gorgeous, heart-rending editorial based on the Gulf Oil Spill.

Todd English is kind of a dreamboat. His restaurants are intimate and charming, he’s like the Loulou de Falaise of the food industry, and he answers my emails. When I asked him to whip up a summer salad recipe for our readers, of course he happily complied. Why? Because he loves you (almost) as much …
