How Long Is A Chinaman's Crack
In what appears to be a legitimate piece of journalism, the AP reports on China's inablitity to keep
children from dumping in the street. Due to the widespread popularity of S&M chaps, I mean, eerily pragmatic
diapers, the streets are literally paved with poop.
Closed diapers are a passing fad, says one mother who regularly outfits her four year old in peek-a-boo panties.
"This is a Chinese tradition."

Lifelong Learning
New vocab gleaned from the Daily fashion mag at Bryant Park:
-Oxygenarian: a person who reaps all nutritional requirements from the air.
-Popper: that much-anticipated moment of exposed runway nipple. Gotcha!

Atrocity of the Day:
Courtesy of style spy L.T. at the AOL Time Warner Building:
Girl wearing black top, black skirt, black shoes: fine.
Black and white Puma purse: pushing it.
The black fabric flower balancing on her head like an artfully aimed bird dropping: inexcusable.
Backstage style correspondent Kate Power reports from Bill Blass:
-"Spring was definitely in the air at the Bill Blass show, pumped into
Gertrude along with the frigid, nipple-solidifying breezes from the AC.
Light, floral looks were the subject of the 11 am presentation, which channeled
everyone from Annie Hall to Brigitte Bardot to Carrie Bradshaw re: that egregiously immense flower era."
-No poppers here: "With the notable exception of one enthusiastic
would-be go-go girl, the models monitored the runway with a diligence that
would make their designer emeritus proud."
Grade: "B+, with a demerit for the unacceptably tardy colorful dresses."

A Day of Wine and Real Murakami Bags
Alright Fashion Fans. I've got my stilettos on, an all-consuming hunger eating away the lining of my stomach, and my free logo lint brush, courtesy of the Style Network lounge. I am ready for another day of Fashion Week.
"Ladies Love" Bill Blass, 11am (11:35am in Fashion Time)
For all the old biddies baby-stepping it into the tents, the Bill Blass show started relatively on time. A parade
of suits for 60 year olds displayed on 16 year olds, here are some standouts:
-Loads and loads of iridescent "greige." You know, it's not gray, it's not beige. It's greige. And lots of it.
-A 50 year old model doing the cha-cha in a tweedy brocade suit. She is turning this show into
the fucking Copacabana. The other models are giving her dirty looks. Make sure they didn't slit your shoe straps
backstage, Salsa Suzy.
-Sage shantung. A must-have with the over-60 set.
-The $2 million dollar Fred Leighton earring some model dropped and that other models proceeded
to step on until it was a pulpy glittery mess.

Style Sightings
-Hal Rubenstein, reincarnated as Batman's Dr. Freeze in a stiff powder blue suit.
The gold earring has been replaced by some bling-blink platinum.
-Fern Mallis, 7th on Sixth Executive Director and Playah President in an auburn ensemble that matches her
nicely ironed highlights.
-Anna Wintour, NOT wearing Prada, but a peachy-pink sweater set, matching sandal stilettos, and
a green palm-frond patterned skirt. Remember class, it's spring in Fashion Land.
-Chilli, former "C" of TLC and fashion ignoramus. The right show to attend if your next video features teal brocade suits.
