Maquiladoras are In for Fall

For those who religiously follow fashion’s every catwalk and wade through designers’ reported inspirations, this is unlikely to register as newness.

SOTW: “Doctor, Doctor” (dedicated to Dr. Jill Biden)

Today’s quickie is dedicated to America’s “Second Lady,” Dr. Jill Biden, whose hair is so bouncin’ and behavin’ that she could very well pass for a soap diva from ’80s primetime.
