Before you vote on a J.Crew corduroy color for me in my poll on the right, keep in mind that not only do I have this citron skirt, but I also have this one. I think the above skirt can safely be described as a “vintage” Versace, if we define vintage as “that skirt length…
Krazy Katt
When my new hero, comedian Katt Williams, forgot to show up for Conan O’Brien and got himself arrested on gun charges all in one week, I assumed the hilarious mofo was hitting the crack pipe a little too hard.

However, it might be a sign…
In the Pink
