Will Wynn Will Win

Austin's Mayor Will Wynn's name is all setup for pun. I wonder if he used a slogan like "Will Wynn will win" during his mayoral election campaign:-) It is good to know that Austin continues to be one of the most beautiful and desired cities in the US for living in.

Austin Mayor Will Wynn is sporting a Prada* suit in the pages of September’s Esquire magazine. In the photo, part of a series of portraits taken at the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Los Angeles in June, Wynn sports a two-button wool suit ($2,425) and silk tie ($160) by Prada and a cotton shirt ($99) by Charles Tyrwhitt.

The piece includes a short interview. “Right now, I’m quarterbacking the youngest, most-educated, safest, fastest-growing city in the U.S.,” Wynn, 45, is quoted as saying. When asked about his greatest triumph, he says: “I feel like Napoleon bulldozing medieval Paris. We have seven tower cranes up right now.”

Though I am not a big fan of city politics, from a few TV clips that I watched during channel surfing, I thought mayoral campaign would be a fun thing to watch. It was amusing to note that homeless cross-dresser Leslie Cochran won 8% of the vote and Dale Reed, a cab driver, won about 5% of the vote in 2000. And then, I enjoy the spirit of Restaurateur Marc Katz (Katz never kloses) who lost to Will Wynn in mayor elections for his continued light-hearted local TV ads "I may not be the mayor, but I am the pastrami king"!

Now, his opponents might call this Devil Wears Prada!
