The still unfinished masterpiece, The Pains, is already having a n impact on our culture, as evinced by this John Galliano fashion show, complete with models wearing nooses. Nooses!

Read The Pains now, and it’ll make you far more fashionable!

Now, I like to be a trend setter and all that, and I thought the “noosifix” was a clever conceit, but OMG, that fashion statement beyond is beyond tacky and camp and right in the middle of creepy.
