And since today's my last day as a full-time Jezebel, I've decided to focus less on the clothes and more on what they've accomplished. On the whole, these are women sans stylists: They're all Good in my book! (Though Wendi Deng's dress is a little unforgivable.)





The Good:
time100amypoehler.jpgAmy Poehler: Actress, comedienne, Christian Siriano copycat.
time100angelicahuston.jpgI can only hope that Angelica Huston was invited for her amazing turn in The Darjeeling Limited as a mother/Buddhist nun who doesn't know what to talk about when we talk about love.
time100annemooreindranooyi.jpgAnn Moore, left, is the CEO of Time, Inc. Indra Nooyi, right, is the CEO of Pepsi Co. Donatella Versace would be happy, surely, to see women in power wearing dresses.
time100ariannahuffington.jpgArianna Huffington: She writes books, she runs blogs, she wears ballgowns.
time100elizabethgilbert.jpgElizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, which was apparently a little smug, highly readable and very "influential." (I hate that word.)
time100georginachapman.jpgGeorgina Chapman designs for Marchesa and married Harvey Weinstein. I'm not sure if these things, independently or together, make her a person of merit. But what do I know?
time100krisinwilg.jpgKristen Wiig of SNL: Further proof that women are funny.
time100madeehahasaonodhalb.jpgMadeeha Hasan Odhaib is the "Mother Theresa of Baghdad." I wonder if George Bush, or even fellow attendee John McCain, even care.
time100marthastewart.jpgI love Martha Stewart: She runs an empire and still manages to can her own preserves. Also, she does it in heels.
time100mayloujepsen.jpgMary Lou Jepsen founded Pixel Qi and was also the founding Chief Technology Officer of One Laptop Per Child, which strives to deliver mesh-networked laptops to children in developing countries.
time100nancybrinker.jpgNancy Brinker, who founded Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is a breast cancer survivor and mother, and was also appointed to the position of Chief of Protocol by President Bush.
time100rupertmurdochwendyde.jpgRupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng: The dark overlord and his whipsmart wife.
time100suzannevega.jpgSuzanne Vega: She sings.
time100tinafey.jpgSure Baby Mama is supposed to be the anti-Knocked Up or whatever, but more importantly, Tina Fey has brought Liz Lemon and Tracey Jordan into our lives.
time100wendykopp.jpgDid you participate in Teach for America? Or have eighty gajilliion friends who did? Thank Wendy Kopp, who founded the program, for the experience.
time100ziyizhang.jpgZiyi Zhang: She acts. Also I am in awe of her bone structure.

<![CDATA[ Dance Off: Stephen Colbert Vs. Rain ]]> Stephen Colbert has been fighting a one-sided war the past few weeks with Korean pop star Rain for the top spot on the Time 100, which determines the world's most influential person. Readers could vote online, and in the end, Colbert was beat out by Rain, who finished second. (First place went to video-game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.) Colbert said the only way to settle the beef was to challenge Rain to a dance-off. And Rain accepted. Clip above.

  • Uh oh: Seems the women behind the red carpet label Marchesa are having a bit of a tiff. While Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig used to be knows as the label's "co-designers", their titles have been changed on their website: Chapman is now listed as "designer" and Craig is noted as "co-founder." [Page Six]

  • Christian Siriano: Designed a dress for Puma. [Chic Report]
