    That was fun, especially The Donald and the blowdryer.

    So, are all these stars merchandising stuff there? I thought Martha Stewart was Kmart. (Oh) She must be fully rehabilitated because this kind of seems like a step-up. To be in the same class as Usher and that Coombs fella.

    Honestly though? I can’t relate to any of those “icons”. When we do fashion in the Burgh, it usually means whatever showed up at TJ Max.
