Thanks Lance! I did not realize you were a fashion nerd. I mean, you always look stylish and all. I am with you on the high waists. They are awful! But unfortunately they have been out of fashion for so long that I suppose it is time for them to come back. Bleh.

Just out of curiosity, do you have a favorite mens' designer? Have a favorite mens' collection for 2009?
