The Velvet Hammer

For a moment, when Bonnie Hammer-head of NBC Universal's USA cable network and arguably the most powerful woman in Rockefeller Center-takes a seat with her execs in their twenty-first-floor conference room, I lose her. She's a pixieish 5'4" in a cropped blue suede Gucci jacket cinched at the waist with a black alligator-skin belt, and almost the entire ensemble, from her camisole down to her calf-high Manolo boots, has been swallowed up behind the large, black oak boardroom table.
