Today in fashion

Published 11:20 pm Sunday, September 14, 2008

Bow ties! Ankle boots! Architectural drama! Those are a few of the things style experts suggest for people who want to imitate the fashion from teen soap opera “Gossip Girl.” We had architectural drama in the ’80s, too. Except back then, it referred to the astonishing volume of your hairdo.

Another way to add architectural drama: The Mountlake Terrace Police Department is planning an open house Thursday, and you can get your picture taken in the department’s holding cell. If you put the photo on your MySpace page, you can also ensure you’ll never get a job.

Fashion for your iPod: A case designed to protect the device from liquids sounds ideal for those long, drippy months ahead of us. Don’t go feeling all invincible, though. The case might not stand up to the good bleaching it will need if you drop your shiny new Nano in the toilet.

Ice packs and crutches are becoming the new fashion trend at Qwest Field, where the Sea­hawks lost two more players to injuries Sunday. Now that the benches are clear, fans may notice that the sidelines have been turned into a hospital ward.
