Anchorage would like you to know it is no longer a frontier town. It’s courting visitors with a promotional campaign called “Big Wild Life.” It took a while to come up with this slogan, because first officials had to reject these ideas:
Anchorage: Now with an almost-even gender ratio.
Anchorage: No, we don’t live in igloos.
Anchorage: Commuting is easy, if you like to ski.
Anchorage: Come experience SAD with thousands of others.
Anchorage: The mosquitoes aren’t as big as you’ve heard.
Speaking of cities that aren’t frontier towns, Paris Hilton is performing in Las Vegas at the Pussycat Doll Lounge. So let’s review what Vegas has to offer: eye-burning neon, throat-scarring smoke and drunken frat boys. And now it boasts one very spoiled, very rich girl in an oversized martini glass.
Suddenly, that trip to Anchorage sounds like paradise.
Heidi Klum is obviously a more selfless woman than anyone knew. She’s offered to let Britney Spears stay with her and “help set her straight” (Page A2).
Ms. Klum, are you sure you wouldn’t rather schedule a trip to Vegas?
