between same-sex marriages and virtual jobs, change is in the air

May 16, 2008 2:30 pm

The times, they are a changin’. The California Supreme Court’s support of same-sex marriage prompted Ellen DeGeneres’ announcement that she and girlfriend Portia de Rossi plan to get hitched, while in Switzerland, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (we assume the name doesn’t mean they just argue for the hell of it ) ruled that a double-amputee sprinter from South Africa can compete for a spot on his country’s Olympic team. Jonathan Saunders‘ appointment as Pollini’s new creative director isn’t quite as inspirational a development, but it’s exciting nonetheless, especially considering the dwindling job market. Turns out more would-be employees are getting virtual jobs as online merchants in alterna-realities like Second Life. Maybe the Marc Jacobs employee charged with grand larceny should look online for his next shop-boy gig (why he would take cash and not handbags is beyond us, but we’re not criminally minded). What is criminal? Counterfeit handbags—and not just because they’re tacky. A new ad campaign makes the case that buying faux Chanel is a lose-lose proposition.
