Coco AKA "Bitch, Get Over Here"
I’ve been distressed recently because my idol, Coco, is in Playboy Magazine, and while I have a free lifetime subscription to Playboy, some of you do not.

Models and White Powder
My adorable designer friend Zang Toi showed his Adirondacks-inspired fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park today. You can see a video of the whole show here. (Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
