...Coming Fat Chicks.” Through a series of clerical errors, we have the issue you read today.Prestige and Mobility is all about unsung heroes, such as ourselves. We heroically detained rap mega-sensation Fabolous and managed to prevent him from attending Eleganza. Why, you ask? We are not at liberty to say, except for the fact that he had been infected with Swine Flu by the perverted designs of Registrar Barry S.

Eileen Muniz of Mohegan Lake, N.Y., cannot imagine what bizarre twist of fate caused all three of her children to be afflicted with autism spectrum disorders. There's no family history of autism, she says. "You always ask yourself, Is it me? Is it him [her ex-husband]? I had my kids late - in my mid-30s. Was I on the birth control pill too long?
