    Lay Off The Witches! (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Goodie. Fashion month appears to have entered its hand-to-hand combat phase, with protesters being tackled by one CFDA CEO at the COS show in New York yesterday. And it’s only week one.Fair is foul and foul-play is, apparently, fair? Or is it. Perhaps not. Steven Kolb has now apoligized, kind of. But word is the PETA people will be pressing charges...In the meantime

    And, We’re Back (opens the original)

    Excerpt
