My Town: Aspen, ColoradoDesigner Lindsey Thornburg on Her Beloved Vegas on Ice
“Fashion is so important to me because of people more than trends. Everything I have on is collected. It tells a story about someone,” says the 23-year-old brunette Lindsey Thornburg— who wears floral leggings, a wool Pendleton, worn tee, and plaid blue cloak. True enough, the designer’s ensemble conveys remnants of a rebellious youth influenced by skate and punk culture, and of her visit to Machu Picchu, where she first gained the inspiration for her eponymous cloak label. As she explains of h

Are Whitney And Rocker Jay Still Making Sweet Music Together?
Since The Hills is only a half-hour show, we don’t always receive to look some of the finer details of the characters’ lives. For instance, Spencer and Heidi can actually be quite considerate of each other (difficult to believe, we know!), Lo Bosworth isn’t always perfecting her wide-eyed stare and seemingly single gal Lauren Conrad has been quietly dating scruffy-cute actor Kyle Howard. So after watching Whitney Port leave NYC bar Il Bastardo with well-coiffed rocker Jay last week, we weren’t sure wh

the question is not whether you trust old ladies in barns, it’s whether they trust you
David Miller of Danville, California, recently wrote us about his barn find 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, one of the “last convertibles.” Yeah, we’re as skeptical of their collectibility as well, but each car does have its possess story, even if it’s just another Aspen, and David’s Eldorado story does take an interesting twist… I was not looking to buy a classic car, I’m quite content with my 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS327 with a 3 on the tree…quite unusual…and stock show condition.

How the Recession Will Impact Private Fliers
When three top car executives traveled to Washington yesterday to plead for a multi-billion dollar slice of the government bailout, headlines blared about the trios’ choice of transportation.

With companies rolling out more deals and programs with increased perks for consum
