wow - this is pretty intense. something about this being beautiful and shocking at the same time that sort of leaves you... at a loss for words i guess.
1i don't see anything remarkable. in fact, the idea that fashion is important is a little absurd. really who gives a crap about things like "fall colors" and hem lines in the shadow of an event like 9/11? it's a little grandiose don't you think?
2I'm with ya Val*
3I saw them doing these photo shoots on inside edition. lol.
4It is remarkable!! I like the idea behind it. It doesn't only reflect on 9/11 but also on the attacks in Europe and all the concequences resulting and the highly increase of need of security for government, state and nation. The world became insane and those pictures show parts of that insanity.
5Love it...love it...love it....these photos kick ass and the outfit do too.
6Most of these are terrible. Way too over-the-top fake, with a few exceptions. What does any of it have to do with 9/11? White female models being arrested? I wouldn't have had a clue had this not been titled as such.
7this is great! looks real good.

Don't tick me off. Or you'll get it.
This and anyone enjoying it is half the reason the human species if f*cked. Terrorism is about people being blown to pieces, not selling some totally pointless, ugly and ridiculously expensive clothers for Christ's sake. Geez people, GET A LIFE!!!!!!!
