I don't mean to distill this into an issue of semantics, but what does intolerance mean? If it's not allowing people like her to air their opinions, I'm decidedly uncomfortable with that. As a person of Asian descent and American citizenship, I can't say I agree with her views, but I have to support her right to voice…

A universal solution:

@Lady Eve: He can reassure himself all he wants, but I know that the way I behaved and dressed in school was a lot different from the way I did at home, as did my friends. That girl sounds pretty damn typical to me.

According to the Sunday Times, Sarah Burton designed Kate's friend's wedding dress and that sparked the idea. It's pretty and British, two good things.

I LOVE how the Bieb's caption got put on a picture of a little girl in boots. It just feels so ... satisfying.

This method of robbery happens fairly often in London. They roar up on motorcycles/scooters, smash open windows with sledgehammers, grab the Rolexes and take off. No one, including sales clerks, is likely to interfere with a criminal swinging a sledgehammer around. But sometimes someone does step in ... down the road…

Gosh. I love this dress.

@Manly McBeeferton: She's got a hood, so it's all good.

I want that hat.

@baseballchica03: I think she's leaning against a wall...

@haguenite: I wonder if they'll walk there? Taking the 24 bus to the site of anarchic chaos seems a bit too ... organised?

@f.pamplemousse: Hm, anything specific? Would be good to know if ever...

@boboboosy: Yep, muslin = burp cloth in the UK.

Super timely! I just got home from watching it. That final clip with Natalie transforming into the black swan was an amazing point in the film. Not that I could watch most of it...

@rocktopus: The sad thing is, you'll find the same circumstances apply to most items manufactured all through China, Southeast Asia and Central America. It's not just bags or clothes, it's books and computers and shoes and toys...the list goes on. But this is how they earn a living.

@dijonesque: I guess we just disagree. I assume Chanel spends heaps of money on chasing counterfeiters because the knockoffs are a problem.

@dijonesque: I don't think the problem with counterfeiting is all about purchases, it has a lot to do with perceived value. Many people pay LV and Chanel prices because they're status symbols, and that's why they're not for sale in places like Marshall's or no-name shops.

@HuckleberryFriend: I was literally searching the corners for a slice of blue sky somewhere, anywhere...

@slowtraincoming: I once told someone from outside NYC that more than 60% of my take-home went to rent, and her eyes proceeded to pop out of her head.

But everyone in New York is a transplant!
