Will Queen Rania Carry a Sarah's Bag to Today's 'The Big Read' Speech at the National Press Club?
/Will Queen Rania Carry a Sarah's Bag to Today's 'The Big Read' Speech at the National Press Club?
Queen Rania is in Washington D.C. with her husband King Abdullah, presently meeting with Vice President Joe Biden, and preparing to meet with President Obama at 10am.
No word on whether Michelle and Queen Rania will meet. A Google search is nada. I am crushed if these two women don’t at least share a cup of coffee.
I want these two Smart Sensuality women to ‘hook up’ now. Putting Queen Rania and First Lady Michelle Obama together is total Smart Sensuality combustion.
The Big Read
Queen Rania is speaking this morning at the National Press Club, as part of a global action week calling for quality basic education for all children.
The press conference will launch ‘The Big Read’, a collection of short stories written by education advocates around the world including Queen Rania, Nelson Mandela, Natalie Portman, Alice Walker, Ishmael Baeh and many more. ‘The Big Read’ is part of GCE’s global action week with the goal of bringing attention to literacy and the millions of children around the world not able to go to school.
To learn more, go to The Big Read at Global Campaign for Education.
One of the goals in writing about Smart Sensuality women is not only to get the concept of the sensual, intelligent, socially committed women front and center in our minds, but to help business, advertisers and media understand the Smart Sensuality woman as a consumer.
This BBC News story Lebanon’prison chic’ goes global is an excellent example of the relationship between the Cultural Creative women and shopping.

Naomi Campbell in 'There's only one Naomi' by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia July 2008
/Naomi Campbell in 'There's only one Naomi' by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia July 2008 AOC Fashion
In July 2008, Vogue Italia produced its memorable ‘Black Issue’, an entire magazine devoted to Black beauty, under the adventurous and cultured editorial eye of EIC Franca Sozzani.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell appeared in a Steven Meisel uber-sumptuous and elegant fashion story ‘There’s only one Naomi’as a key feature of the collectible, treasured July issue.
Campbell was styled by her close friend, now British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful, who is also European editorial director of Vogue today. Mary Howard acted as set designer for this fantastic story, with makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido.
At the time, Enninful was making waves at a top stylist at Vogue Italia, as Franca and Edward imagined one innovative fashion story after another. Neither American Vogue or British Vogue ever reached the intellectual acumen of Sozzani’s Vogue Italia.
