It's Thursday, and you know what that means?!! It's Thursday Styles day at the New York Times! What does the paper of record(TM) have to tell me about the world of style today? hmm...

-swarovski is in trouble. quick, someone put on a stage production of 'showgirls' so that we can keep this poor company afloat through the creationg of bejeweled nude body stockings!

-an article about redundant skin. don't you just love that term? i'm sorry, what's the point of this article? "i'd really like to lose weight, but I'm just so darned concerned about the scarring from body contouring surgery!" puh.leez.

all in all, a very unsatisfying episode of thursday styles. maybe everyone's just resting up before Spring 07 fashion week. or maybe it's just too hot to work in new york right now.
