The Girls Of Summer: Katy Perry
As we head into July 4th, and I, like many of you, ease into some sweltering-summer time with my family, I thought I’d mention how much pleasure it gave me to walk around Manhattan this past weekend and see girls in summer dresses: the cute toddlers, running through park sprinklers in their sundresses and sun bonnets; the teenagers in short, striped numbers nuzzling against their awkward boyfriends on the subway; and the occasional incontrovertible knock-out dancing down the street in her body-hugging miniskirt. So let’s celebrate those girls of summer by putting in a word for Katy Perry (pictured), whose red, full, ’50s-throwback outfit was a smash at the premiere of her new “Part of Me” documentary.
