strike

i'm so fascinated by the mta strike at the audacity of the union to really stop the lives of so many people to make their point. no matter how impt their point is, it was a very bold move. the creative solutions to work around the strike are interesting as well, from two new yorkers' points of view - j and k. (nice skates, mmonk :)

another amusing aspect: analyzing the fashion that's coming out of this strike.

"People are dressing like they work in outdoor booths at the flea market," the designer Cynthia Rowley said.....

From appearances, that might include a two-month camping trip or an arctic triathlon, which is odd considering the strike happens to coincide with two major trends favorable for the conditions: boots and fur. But most of the styles offered by Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney are affixed to towering heels, so they have been replaced with hiking boots and last year's Uggs, a sensibly dull alternative. Fur coats, hats, muffs and gaiters are in such abundance that animal rights activists would be well advised to arrange to work from home."

so funny that fashion is always addressed... i love it. :)

speaking of fashion and Cynthia Rowley, Project Runway was excellent tonight. (Cynthia Rowley was a guest judge) i am slowly getting my mom hooked on some of the bravo shows, which is fun to watch with her. santino is slowly rising to be less of the creative genius and more of an egotistical maniac. he's still really good at what he does, i think they're going to save him for the end.
