Nineteen original tales of the Pandora legend-as no one has ever imagine it before. When Pandora's Box was opened, so the ancient tale goes, all the evils that would beset humanity were released into the world. When the box was all but empty, the only thing that remained was hope. Now some of fantasy's finest writers have taken on the task of opening Pandora's closet. It is naturally chock full of an assortment of items, including a ring that can bring its wearer infinite health, a special helmet found in the most unlikely of places, a mysterious box that holds a legendary piece of cloth, and a red hoodie that transforms a woman's world. These stories are of items claimed by people, but only at their own peril. After indulging in these stories, readers will certainly look at their own closets in a whole new light.
Editorial : From Booklist
When Pandora's box was opened, all the evils of the world escaped. Only hope was left. The lady also had a closet, it seems, filled with strange shoes, jewelry, and garments, some useful, some beautiful, and others best not touched. Nineteen writers give us stories about some of the items stored in it, such as the Rhinegold, the accursed gold ring that generates wealth (Timothy Zahn's "The Ring"); Dorothy Gale's (i.e., the Wicked Witch of the East's) ruby slippers (Louise Marley's "Technicolor"); a direly inspirational outer garment (Joe Masdon's "Jack's Mantle"); and 16 other magical items of adornment—and the costs of wearing them. Of generally high quality, the stories are most impressive for their variety. They do, however, rather induce the urge to clean one's closet and squelch the impulse to browse garage sales.

Artemisia Gentileschi's painting "Judith Slaying Holofernes" (1620) is on loan from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence to The Art Institute of Chicago and on exhibit there from October 2013 to January 2014. She was very passionate and had a strong determination but she took time out to have fun along the way.
The author tries to include all of the people in Julia's life but I found trying to keep up with all of the names confusing at times. In general, he laments dressing down or "business casual." These things change, although he definite
