...losers are people like Mark and Mary Jane O'Hara of Eugene, Ore. In February they had the local fire department burn their home to the ground after doctors attributed the family's chronic nosebleeds, flulike symptoms and severe headaches to mold.

Often, brands like Esperanza, which now hype their high-heeled mules instead of the platforms, forgo association with a certain look so that they can morph with current styles. Others, like Alba Rosa and Me Jane, married their style to extreme looks of the past and paid the price: those loud colors and hibiscus flowers might be selling in Beijing and Taipei, but no one in Harajuku is wearing the stuff...

...Willie Peter from the AK, and my mortarman, Joe Biden, let 'em have it with a few bursts of an old Neil Kinnoch speech about his granddad the coal miner going to college. That knocked 'em dead. Victor Charles melted back into the triple-canopy forest, and he took Jane Fonda with...
