The planet Earth is now banned to all alien races until they can compare notes and find out how many, if any, real humans they have actually got. Some have been in fact abducted while waiting to carry out an abduction on a couple of aliens trying to abduct the aliens who were, as a result of misunderstood instructions, trying to form cattle into circles and mutilate crops. But representatives of several hundred races have taken to hanging out, unsuspected by one another, in rural corners of the planet and, as a result of this, keep on abducting other would-be abductees. It's not known why most of the space-going races of the universe want to undertake rummaging in Earthling underwear as a prelude to formal contact.

Right now, the store is in the midst of revamping the sixth floor, where its Rodriguez section is, in order to make room for a whole lot more stuff. The current fall collection (those clothes he’d sketched on that dock) is doing even better. “We loved it on the runway and then people went crazy for it in the store.” Barneys, which has carried Rodriguez for fifteen years, had its best-ever season selling him. Why would you need a ruffle when a slip dress cut on the bias moves so incredibly with each wiggle and step? “Sometimes, everyone loves something on the runway but the clothes don’t translate on the rack,” says Daniella Vitale, the COO at Barneys New York. The great trick of minimalist dressing is that when it’s done right you never want for more, and everything else begins to look frivolous.
