Trendmongers aside, the absurdity of the stuff they would do - mass pillow fights in public. for example - was kind of endearing.Kate Feldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215172535468962913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15707736.post-1144692740710012662006-04-10T18:12:00.000+00:002006-04-10T18:12:00.000+00:00See, as soon as I sign on it's death to cool.
