The Burtka-Harrises are doing Halloween better than you. I mean, they’re probably doing a lot of things better than you, but Halloween is definitely one of them.

Yep, it’s that time again. Even if you’re not headed to class today, there is an unmistakable sense of change in the air. While summer will always remain my absolute favorite season, there is something fresh about the transition to fall. It’s a clean slate; a new beginning that somehow feels different from the first of the year — perhaps because I always feel justified in refreshing my wardrobe in the spirit of “back to school” shopping.

In keeping with that spirit, today I’ve got some great photos taken by Peter Stackpole at the University of Arizona in 1947 for Life Magazine. Why?  First of all, I really shouldn’t have to justify this.  Did you miss how awesome these girls are? But more importantly because, yes, even cowgirls go back to school too.

Happy
September.

In view of all the recent nun chat Queen Marie has been having lately, I thought I would share with you and her these looks from Aganovich, which are very austere and ecclesiastical in nature.

Aganovich is a London based womenswear label designed by Nana Aganovich. She is a BA graduate of the Dansk Designskol and an MA graduate of Central Saint Martins. Taylor has contributed to international literary and fashion magazines including Purple, Dune and Ryuko.

Nana works closely with Brooke Taylor, a former writer, who provides the label it's conceptual narrative. The story of how the pair met is as intriguing as the clothes themselves. Apparently, they met in 2002 and Brooke would tell Nana wonderful stories of international conspiracy and feminine intrigue to impress her. In his stories to Nana he created a character, a femme fatale, called Sisi Bogdanovich. I guess his attempts to impress Nana must have worked, because now Brooke's stories form the heart of her inspiration.

I'm not sure if the central character in the story which inspired this collection was a nun, but the results certainly has plenty of intrigue. Maybe the story was Nuns with Guns!

These garments are stunning, but own nun inspiration would end up more like this -

The internet continues to burn with the story of the mommy blogger who alleges her son was accosted in a Davenport, FL area Wal-Mart. The story has spread to MSN, the Daily Mail, even Gawker after being posted by the mother herself on reddit and Huffington Post.

But almost from the start people expressed doubts about the veracity of the story. Internet searches revealed background claims by the mother that only confirmed for many that her previous statement that she used to be a “pathological liar” might apply to this tale as well.

Now removed from her site claims included having survived 3 failed kidnapping attempts and 1 successful one; claiming to be a stewardess for an airline and quitting just weeks before the flight crashed twice in three months; that she was “meant to be in NYC on 9/11, but I cancelled last minute”; that she missed catching a train that later crashed. When called on the truthiness of these claims, Katie responded:

And yes, much of that list was tongue in cheek to drag out some of my sillier stories into much bigger dramas than they were. When I wrote it more than a year ago, I drew people’s attention to it as a FUNNY (though accurate) representation of some of the stuff I’ve been through in my life.

Other claims include suffering from Celiac disease, diabetes, lactose intolerance, BPD, manic depression, ADHD, and apparently her breasts are so spectacular they cause bar fights.

Soon after the internet began questioning why, if it’s a big enough deal to craft what she no doubt hoped would be a viral blog post, she didn’t contact the store or the police Katie began claiming she was being harassed. Saying her milk supply was drying up and that she was receiving “threats of pizza deliveries to my house”, she closed down her site. 30 minutes later Katie claimed to be on the phone with the sheriff’s department “waiting for them to show  up”. Despite a fatal car crash that closed down roads for two hours, according to her a deputy arrived, took a report, and left within an hour of her call.

Debate continues online with some people saying it doesn’t matter if the story is true because it started a discussion about gender issues, and others pointing out that if the story is untrue, using such issues for page views and attention is probably doing a disservice to the LGBT community.

I was unable to reach the Polk County Sheriff’s Department for confirmation or statement and Wal-Mart has yet to publicly respond to Katie’s claim. We await further developments and welcome any tips or information. We will update this post as information becomes available.
