J Day Runway
Apparently temple is just one big fashion show this Rosh Hashana. A Yiddish
style spy noticed an overwhelming amount of pleated skirts,
mod turtlenecks, and one enterprising young woman in
"a yarmulke-sized mini." Hey, it's New Year, not your birthday. Cover up
or we'll send the nuns after you.

What Winona Should Have Known
Simon Doonan, everyone's favorite window dresser, grills department
store security guards to learn there's more to shoplifting than
pill-fueled pocketing. Stickyfingers Ryder would have been better
off using time-honored tactics such as "crotching," "mantyhose,"
or "sweethearting," but what's a poor girl from Petaluma to do.
Doonan advises ignoring the siren calls of merchandise begging to
be stuffed up one's dress and to remember "shoplifting is a felony
if the merch is over $1,000, which it mostly is this fall."

What Not To Buy: The Wrestling Shoe
A jaunt around SoHo this weekend revealed a disturbing amount of neon
wrestling shoes littering storefronts. Sure to
be this season's trucker hat, the hightop horrors will most likely be
paired with miniskirts by girls who should never wear them in the
first place. Magically transforming the owner into an elf on acid,
the rainbow wrestler comes with a lifetime guarantee to make legs
shorter, squatter, and stumpier. We're positive Britney has them in
every color.
