Second Runway

Before I forget - tomorrow night, all you Twin Cityites should go to Second Runway at Goodwill/Easter Seals (553 Fairview Ave N in St. Paul). Designers re-create items purchased at local Goodwill stores.

Green is In Vogue

So there's no denying that green is in vogue this year.

Maybe it's the economy; going green really does make economic sense. The "green collar" sector looks to be a growing economic cluster, even as the United States faces job loss across sectors. Energy, gas, water and garbage costs are on the rise.

Maybe it's our emerging generation, indoctrinated by elementary school garbage pickup and Nickelodeon Earth Day specials.

Maybe it's Al Gore.

Regardless, green fashion is IN!
