I wish I had my roomie’s girl
By Jared Misner | Sep. 8, 2010My roommate’s girlfriend is really hot. Like really hot. Lately, she’s been kind of throwing me some hints that she thinks I’m kind of hot too (we’re talking eye contact, intense flirting, striking up random convos on Facebook chat). I obviously wouldn’t want to piss off my roommate, or ruin our friendship, but am I a horrible person for pursuing his girl? Does she sound for real?

Gainesville Goes All Out for Fashion’s Night Out
By ALLISON BANKO | Sep. 8, 2010Seldom does the Devil do interviews. When she does, you better bet that she’s got a damned good reason — and that she’ll be dripping in designer. Earlier this month, Vogue magazine’s editor Anna Wintour was seen in a rare interview on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” For September is when she thrives. This month’s famed September issue of Vogue is bound with 532 astounding pages of fashion. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off today. Yet Wintour was seated on Fallon’s scarlet couch cushions to, instead, promote the largest fashion party in history — and everyone is invited.
