...Plan B, or the morning-after pill, is not the same as the "abortion pill," RU-486, which is used to terminate an existing pregnancy without surgical intervention.

Rave Girl, a national chain, sells feather boas, leather pants and stretch flares to girls ages 7 and up. "Girls' clothes started getting sexier about two years ago," says Jaime Williams, a manager at a branch outside Chicago. "Basically, everybody wants to be a princess. Not like the ones in fairy tales, but a hot princess like Britney." In Manhattan, designer boutiques like Betwixt and Infinity sell adult labels at adult prices in Alice-in-Wonderland sizes.
