Jul-17-09 ...A proposed new law that would extend copyright protection to clothing has designers in an uproar and threatens to widen a rift in the American fashion industry.

...and whatever happened to Michelle Belle in simple, understated JCrew? ..how quickly she changed her taste in fashion.

"When Michelle Obama visited 10 Downing Street in London on Wednesday morning, she wore a sparkly cream cardigan and mint green pencil skirt by J. Crew."

"No $150,000 wardrobe malfunctions for Michelle Obama", the fashion hyenas reported.

..Al Sharpton has connections to "designers". ;)
