Marcus Brauchli's Stipple People

Judging from the pointillist black-and-white columnists' faces (above) that top their pieces in the Washington Post since its redesign went live two weeks ago, it would appear that Brauchli brought at least a bit of the old Wall Street Journal style sheet along with him when he moved down to the nation's capitol to attempt to jumpstart the moribund Post.

Good luck.

Isaac Mizrahi's new shop opens in Gotham

If it's as upbeat and filled with positive karma as its namesake, it's got as good a chance as any to make it through these down times in the shmatta biz.

Pictured up top, it's the designer's first ever boutique, perhaps because, as he told Patricia Marx of The New Yorker, "I'm good at saying 'Put that on this rack' but I'm not the type to say 'Please buy my clothes.'"

He added, "I love having everything in one place. Before, you had to go to Jeffrey for the shoes, maybe Bergdorf for the clothes, Saudi Arabia for something else."

23 E. 67th St.; 212-288-8111.
