Okay...I never commented on anything GG-related because I never watched the show. Until last night, that is. I totally understand the fascination with the show now. I loved it! And I'm definitely getting the Season 1 DVD to do a marathon with other friends that had never seen the show until last night and loved it, too. Thank Jeebus for Olympics fatigue making turn on the CW and give GG a shot.

I agree with the same-same J.Crew comment.
Also, Banana's been doing the Monogram Collection thing since last year. I don't really get the concept other than appealing to Stateside urbanites who might fancy themselves "edgy" Europhiles (with the slimmer cuts and Italian fabrication). Prices are whack, in my opinion. Not a fan.
But here's a short but interesting article on the BR Monogram, if anyone's interested: http://washington.bizjournals.com/washington/othercities/sanfrancisco/stories/2008/03/24/story11.html?b=1206331200%5E1608411.
