Classic (left) vs New (right)

The reaction from the masses has been, well... some have called it a Universal Smackdown.

What's the saying again?  If it ain't broke...

While GAP HQ stands behind their design, they've offered a challenge to the naysayers.  If you can do better, by all means, try.  They will soon release details on this...

Last week New York Times.com published a piece on small breasted women and the pressure we often feel to fit in.  While padded bras or elective surgeries were the preferred remedy in the late nineties and early 2000s, these days women with wee ones may be changing their tune.  The Times suggests women are increasingly proud of their bodies, choosing to celebrate the way we look rather...

Louis Vuitton has snagged Bono and his wife Ali Hewson for their latest Core Values campaign, which was shot in Africa by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz.  What's so unusual about this image: the pair aren't wearing anything by Louis Vuitton!  They are dressed in Hewson's own organic ethical label Edun (which Louis Vuitton recently acquired a major stake in).
