View Nicholai by Nicky Hilton
I knew you could not sleep waiting for this bit of news 
yeah!, but Nicky Hiltons’ line Nicholai ( Paris’ sister) and Lauren Conrad (who are these people??) debuted at LA Fashion week.
Who knew Nicky had that dominatrix thing or is it equestrian thing going on? Very edgy and most of the pieces are not “pour moi”. Lots and lots of leggings and I hear latex leggings are the killer fashion look going on now. If you are young and hip, and still love to hit the nightclubs, I say GO FOT IT!!!! Your appearance will be nothing if not explosive!
View Lauren Conrad Collection
Lauren Conrad was safe, predictable,boring and wearable. I loved it and would buy it. I am not much of an experimenter with fashion. I loves what I loves!! Lots of jerseys and fluidity.

Anyway, we will shortly return to the fake unpredictable world of fashion where everyone prides themselves on being zany and psycho unlike fake, two faced politics where everyone lies to themselves that they are good, upright and holier than thou.
Eliot Spitzer, remember Martha??? You put her in jail and I hope you spend time there too. Not for using prostitutes but for hypocrisy.
Just listen to the news and eventually thank goodness something is now taking over Britney, Hillary and Obama news. I just wonder for how long. These are my questions:
-
Was Eliot Spitzer so arrogant that he did not know he would eventually get caught? $80,000???
-
What do you get for $5,500 - Wow!
-
Why is the attention now on his wife even though she never said a word but her appearance speaks volumes.
-
Why does the wife never speak until years later? Why is she never the one who speaks at the Press conference while the guy must and should stand there looking like a jackass.
-
Why on earth did her image people tell her to stand there and read his notes over his shoulder? The least she could have done for herself is stand there and look really hot.
-
You know he’s not sorry, he’s only sorry he got caught.

What is with people in the public eye? People with means - look at Eliott Spitzer etc. Have they all not learned? Will they all never learn? I would think when much is given to you, you must know that it can all come crashing down in the twinkling of an eye. What is it that they say- You can spend twenty years building a solid reputation and it only takes 20 seconds to lose it.
MILAN — Italian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into the Dolce & Gabbana fashion empire following allegations of tax evasion.
Milan-based public prosecutor Laura Pedio, who is heading up the case, told WWD on Monday the probe into alleged undeclared earnings and value added tax was “at an early phase,” but declined to give further details. The crime can carry up to a three-year prison sentence.
Italian news daily La Repubblica reported Sunday that neither Domenico Dolce nor Stefano Gabbana has so far been named in the investigation, but that their eponymous fashion group could be liable for more than 125 million euros, or $192 million at current exchange, in unpaid taxes and fines.
According to the report, Italian tax authorities have already turned down a proposed settlement of 92 million euros, or $141.3 million, by Dolce & Gabbana Srl.
In a separate inquiry reported in WWD last week, Italian tax authorities are believed to have already ordered Dolce & Gabbana Industria SpA, which operates the group’s production facilities, to pay a fine of 2 million euros, or $3.1 million, for allegedly not declaring sales of stock to distributors via a satellite company.
