...ready and then they sort of fell apart. But aren't they just modern-day one-hit wonders? (Read about The Pitchfork 500.) Absolutely.

"You didn't know you'd be covering cardigans," she says, but that's O.K., since her husband doesn't know cable-knit from argyle either. When she tries to explain why she's constantly hugging people, she reaches out and grabs your arm and holds it. I'd be intimidated...
