1. Now. Where were we?
Right. A few days off for a boosting of the creative juices, a resting of the brain matter, and a gathering of the entire family in celebration for Father of PittGirl’s retirement party, which brought Tina Fey, Ohio Sister, Ta-Ta and their families to town and needless to say, I haven’t [...]

Oh, LaMont. WTF are you trying to make us wear now?
Why is that lady wearing a baby stroller on her head?

LaMont Jones, the fashion editor of the PG, has an article about mixing up combinations for a two-piece outfit with appeal.
Here’s one of LaMont’s suggestions for an outfit with appeal:
