Leading Off (8/27/08)

1. Some local employees of Abercrombie & Fitch are complaining that they’ve been discriminated against based on their looks. Those who aren’t hot enough have allegedly been banished to the back of the store, to fold clothes. Here’s the thing, though: Abercrombie calls its salespeople “models,” which would seem to give management the leeway to make such personnel moves. Note to all D Magazine editor models: meet in my office at 9 a.m. sharp. Please do your utmost to exude “sexy, effortless style.”

2. Shawn Williams is just like Eric Celeste. He’s a Dallas blogger covering the DNC. Good-looking guy. Shaved head. Well-spoken. Abercrombie hot. Oh, except there is just one difference: Williams has a freaking press credential.

3. I still don’t understand why DART was in the jewelry business. Anyway, no one who works for the agency has been fired over the bling imbroglio. There’s another Abercrombie joke to make here, but if I don’t wake up my kids and feed them, they’ll be late for school.
