Confidential security memo to fashion show staff: I don’t want to frighten anyone, but we believe criminal elements may be trying to infiltrate our business.

Yesterday they kidnapped a model, strapped him into a restraint, and put a silly wig and sunglasses on him. If you want to know the truth, he looked like Howard Stern.  In a final act of humiliation, they hung a Mercedes-Benz hood ornament around his neck and shoved him onto the runway!

In one slight upside, we immediately got 600 orders for this outfit, so don’t say anything to the media…
