...kind of weird, I was playing soccer. It was a legit game. I was playing pretty hard and then, it wasn’t a dirty play or anything, I just kind of went to score and someone just undercut me and I really just twisted my knee really hard as I fell...
...dressed like the fundamentalists do in the community right now, with the exception that their dress code is a lot more rigid than when I was there. You had to wear a dress or skirt that was mid-calf, six inches below the knee at least. And you had to wear long sleeves and something with a high neck. You just had to have everything covered.

However, now I no longer have to fantasize about boarding school or knee socks or lying about pushing someone out of a tree. Now I can make my imaginary uniform a reality thanks to the efforts of Nicolas Ghesquiere, the boy wonder behind venerable fashion house Balenciaga. In his fall collection, the school uniform blazer is back with a vengeance. Balenciaga?...
