It’s like a nightmare come true.
When I was a kid, I was quite taken with the annual spectacle that was The Wizard of Oz on network TV. I mean, wow, it actually switched from black and white to color. How cool is that?

Grey Is The New Black!

This past summer, half part due to the recession and half due to fashion’s ever revolving fickle nature, the 80’s look was everywhere. From acid wash jeans, bright neon pullovers to skinny jeans with off the shoulder tops, fashion re-embraced the look of the 80’s. It has often been said that the 80’s was ahead [...]
