Fashions of the Times

Yesterday's Sunday New York Times had a cool fashion section. The cover has Eve the rapper decked out in the most frilly feminine Hollywood babe outfit -- she looks great. Also the second or third page in has the fashion item any girl with any sense wants this season -- I'm drooling for one -- THE BEIGE AND BLACK CHANEL SURFBOARD. Of course, it's fun to see the girls in the ad strolling the beach completely dressed, down to classic Chanel pumps carrying their surfboards. The whole issue is colorful and fun and girlish. The downbeat news of war, terrorism and all the rest is definately in contrast to the colorful bonanza and sheer fun of these new spring fashions.
