Person Dita Von Teese
Burlesque dancer to the stars Dita Von Teese is one of those women we have to admire. Not only did she escape the clutches of Marilyn Manson, but she's managed to build a successful career out of writhing around in champagne while wearing elegant outfits (ok, pasties).
Von Teese's latest venture is a partnership with Perrier and involves her likeness being printed on several limited-edition bottles. An all-ages bubbly, Dita? Interesting choice.
Place Chicago
Home to rappers like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Common, Chicago has never lacked street cred. This latest bit of notoriety, however, is not great news for the Windy City.
Luxury-goods company Coach Inc. has brought a trademark lawsuit against the city, alleging that vendors at a city-controlled street market have been selling counterfeit goods.
Oh snap! Kanye'd better check all his gear immediately to make sure he's not rocking "Gukki."
Thing Converse
New Bachelorette Ali Fetodowsky doesn't know if she'll find a husband on the latest incarnation of the reality show, but she does know what she'll wear with her wedding gown: sneakers.
The Californian, who met her suitors on the first episode this week, told Popeater she wants a casual look on the big day. "I plan on wearing Converse under my wedding dress," she said.
So, first come the shoes, then comes marriage? Spoken like a true bachelorette.
