How much for the model (say, for one night)?

It's not art if I can do it, it's not a real sport if a 13 year old girl is the best in the world at it, and it's not fashion if Goodwill won't take it.

That poor girl. Is her pain physical or psychological. I think she is staring daggers at her soon to be ex-boyfriend who is paying attention to his blackberry instead of her. But, maybe it is just a bad back.

And I thought gold and oil prices were the leading indicators of the devalued dollar.

On the upside, I can sell my yard shirts and retire in luxury.

They forgot to price the hat. I remember the hat, I still have it to this day.

Cheap, trailer trash camel toe look included.

I can take any t-shirt and make holes with scissors and blades in about five minutes!

What a waste...

Hmmm... Wearing a shirt like that gives me the impression that she dove into a pool of pirhanas.

Now, for just a few thousand dollars, you too can look like a South American communist guerilla, fresh from your jungle lair.

To understand this sort of thing, a re-reading of Tom Wolfe's "Radical Chic" essay from way back in 1970 is a great help.
