Here’s evidence of the true danger of Sex and the City’s raging popularity: girls who can’t tell their Choos from their Chalayans think that because they’re in New York City, it’s okay to dress like a cheap dimestore hooker. Newsflash: the reason these women can get away with dressing the way they do is twofold; [...]

Okay, so even if I’m willing to admit that my pathological aversion to plaid is probably due to years of Catholic school torture, I cannot sanction a plaid cowgirl hat. Ugly much?
