- Marianne Faithfull on that giant Chanel jacket sculpture thingy parked outside their couture show: "phallic." How long before someone brings Hillary Clinton's gender into this, ya think? [Fashion Week Daily]

@athertonmerriweather: @PinkSoxHat: I can't tell you how many hungover trips I've made to that mall specifically for Johnny Rockets. YUM! I also remember the shithole days, though it was always nicer than the Independence Mall in Kingston, which was 15 minutes from my parents house... They have a Target now though, so that makes up for all it!
