fashion-eyes-160.jpgMemo to fashion show employees: We have received a police tip that an escaped prisoner may try to infiltrate our show in Milan this week. 

The man is described as “wild-eyed, with unkempt hair and a disturbed look of intense anger.”  The authorities say he also believes he was a Confederate colonel  during the Civil War, and may dress accordingly.

It is very difficult to believe that someone like this could make it onto our runway, but please do be alert to the danger, and keep in mind the horrible lapse at Paris Fashion Week last summer:  Dude! Is there ANYTHING you wouldn’t wear?

OK, play nice. He was on his way to the methadone clinic, and was offered a $20 to put on this outfit and slouch down the runway. He just HAPPENED to blend in with the other models…
