Still skirting the issue

Here's another skirt item, from some vapid fashion blog:

U.K. pin-up (and we're just talking about her facelift) Caprice Bourret has apologized for appearing in a recent magazine shoot wearing a pro-drugs skirt. Caprice, who likes to think she's on a first-name basis with fame, appeared in Maxim magazine wearing a mini with the slogan "I Love Cocaine." But now the former glamour model turned singer turned actress -- she's appearing in the London production of Rent -- is backtracking, saying she doesn't condone it and has never tried the drug. (Which sounds about as honest as Liza and David's wedding, but never mind.) A statement from her agent Cassie Mead said: "Caprice apologies for any offence caused by the picture and she deeply regrets wearing the skirt. She does not wish to influence the use of drugs or suggest that the use of drugs is acceptable. Caprice has never tried cocaine."

No, I have no idea who she is either, and don't care. But where would you even get a skirt imprinted with the legend "I love cocaine"? Maybe Japan. No, that's not a hoax.
