NY Observer > Santa Fe http://www.observer.com/taxonomy/term/28666/feed Articles from Observer.com en Outside Names Keyes Editor http://www.observer.com/node/32823 Outside magazine, the Santa Fe, N.M-based adventure-sports monthly, has named Texas Monthly editorial director Christopher Keyes as its new editor. The position had been empty for two months, since editor Hal Espen left the stubble-chinned monthly to pursue freelance writing. According to a source familiar with the search, Outside's owner and editor-in-chief Lawrence Burke considered Outside's current editorial director Alex Heard before choosing Keyes. Keyes began his magazine career at Outside as an intern in 1999. --Gabriel Sherman]]> http://www.observer.com/node/32823#comments Media Christopher Keyes Gabriel Sherman Lawrence Burke Santa Fe Mon, 06 Mar 2006 09:45:04 -0500 Observer Staff 32823 at http://www.observer.com Letters http://www.observer.com/node/38403 Let’s Not Be Hasty   To the Editor:    read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/38403#comments Oprah Winfrey Robert Gottlieb Santa Fe Simon Doonan Sun, 19 Feb 2006 19:00:00 -0500 Observer Staff 38403 at http://www.observer.com Letters http://www.observer.com/node/51877 Let’s Not Be Hasty

Just another gathering at Tom Ford's place.
Tom Ford needs a really big house in his native Santa Fe, and now he can have it! So said the Historic Design Review Board of the Santa Fe city council, in an 11 p.m. vote Tuesday night. (Thanks to Luxist for the initial link.) The Free New Mexican says:
Ford, 44, who grew up in Santa Fe, attended the meeting in his trademark outfit: a white shirt with its top buttons open, a dark sports coat, jeans and cowboy boots. He has said he needs a large house to accommodate his family, which often visits him. He already owns the east-side home where he grew up, plus a ranch with an orchard and vineyard near Galisteo, where he is building a house. He also has homes in Los Angeles and London.

Well, his plans to build a 14,000-square-foot hilltop home hovering over the east side of Santa Fe have already been through the wringer. Here's his "design consultant," Jennifer Jenkins:

Jenkins said the overall square-footage of the plan had been reduced by about 4,000 feet since it was first brought before the review board in December. She also said the garage had been scaled down, the height of the rooftops reduced and the exterior lighting overhauled to protect the view of the night sky. She read letters from Ford supporters who said Santa Fe was lucky to have a “local boy” turned celebrity who wants to return home.

Umm, in Santa Fe the locals are a smidgen jumpy about that last bit.  read more »

Just read the pages and pages of comments under the New Mexican piece to absorb the latent text about sexuality, class and race for yourself--or sample a couple of choice ones after the jump! ]]> http://www.observer.com/node/34230#comments Real Estate Historic Design Review Board of the Santa Fe Miguel Vigil Santa Fe Tom Ford Thu, 16 Feb 2006 08:14:39 -0500 Observer Staff 34230 at http://www.observer.com Opera Lovers Exposed: Greatness Outdoors in Santa Fe http://www.observer.com/node/44903 If things were getting unbearably nasty onstage, they werealso heading in that direction offstage.  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/44903#comments Arts & Culture Daniel Slater John Crosby Richard Strauss Santa Fe Sun, 26 Aug 2001 20:00:00 -0400 Charles Michener 44903 at http://www.observer.com Gucci's Tom Ford: The Man Behind the Biennale http://www.observer.com/node/41775 In late March, SoHo gallerist Sean Kelly sent a package of information about one of his artists via  read more »]]> http://www.observer.com/node/41775#comments Arts & Culture Ann Hamilton Santa Fe Sean Kelly Tom Ford Sun, 25 Jul 1999 20:00:00 -0400 Jeffrey Hogrefe 41775 at http://www.observer.com
