because it is casual friday, after all...

>> So I'm going to talk about another t-shirt.  It's by designer Jens Laugesen (who is excellent with the minimalistic, cool shapes approach, might I add), and it's being auctioned off on Ebay as we speak to benefit Save the Children as part of an effort to raise awareness on ethical business practices in the clothing manufacture industry.  There's something just insanely appealing about the shirt's in-your-face disco goldiness (reminds me of Fall Gucci).  And I love the way the back makes it almost looks like a huge gold breastplate.  So en garde -- I dare you to outbid me.  It's for a good cause, anyway.

>> Colette comes through again with this great trompe de l'oeil tee.  Fun for acting like you're James Bond's daughter (who has a sense of humor), or just because we all have a little bad girl inside.  And come on, if you wear this shirt, you're not realllly being that bad anyway.  It'll just make you feel good.

>> I apologize for the late notice, but it's not too late, promise.  If you love vintage, I have a place for your tush to be today and tomorrow -- the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show.  It's huge: 75 vintage clothing and antique textile dealers for today, April 28 and tomorrow, April 29 at the Metropolitan Pavilion.  Just don't tell me if you see a vintage Chanel bag -- I don't want to know.
