Re: Fur Fury… The debate wags on

talk back Fur fury   I want to thank you for your article on fur in today's fashion. It's so nice to know that there are style magazines around that don't just sit about, idly accepting the fashion moguls' decrees without reacting to the ugly trade that is fur business.

S.-Flogstavägen , Sweden (who can't stop hoping for consumers around the world to realize the power they have)

Instead of gazing upon a Warhol Marilyn or Campbell's Soup

Glug, glug, glug, glug, glug…. Finding your way back on track for the New Year can sometimes take more of a push than our lethargic post-holiday stamina can muster. After overdosing on the joys of the season, there really is so much bubbly barista banter that one can handle. Although, a quick hit of rocket fuel probably would do the job to set us straight. There is another solution to rev up when our get-up-and-go just got-up-and-left. Start cracking… gum, that is. Jolt caffeine energy gum
