Louis Vuitton brings in the supermodels for spring 2008
With an all-star line up that includes the likes of by Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, Angela Lindvall and Natalia Vodianova, it's no douting that the Louis Vuitton spring 2008 advertising campaign is going to be hot. WWD likened it to an issue of Hot Rod magazine but charged with high glamour. "I thought the idea of hot chicks and cars was really cool — and very Richard Prince," said Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs, of the color-drenched images of supermodels draped on Sixties muscle cars to WWD. The campaign was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott with the Seymour and Herzigova campaigns set to break in February issues of glossy mags with the Campbell, Schiffer, Lindvall and Vodianova images set to launch in the months after that.

A former Whitwell High School bookkeeper was arrested Thursday on felony theft charges alleging she took more than $35,000 in school funds.
Lois Alene Vandergriff, 49, was arrested by Marion County, Tenn., authorities on indictments charging her with theft over $10,000 and vandalism, according to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation release.
She is free on $10,000 bond and faces arraignment on the charges April 21.
The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's Division of Investigations audited the records of Whitwell High School for the time period between July 1, 2009, and Oct. 31, 2010, revealing that $35,332 was misappropriated by Vandergriff, according to the TBI.
TBI officials say Vandergriff resigned on Oct. 26, 2010.
Marion County Director of Schools Mark Griffith said Vandergriff had worked at the school at least eight years and there were no problems that anyone knew about.
But a new computer upgrade started to reveal discrepancies in what school officials call "activities funds" related to sports teams, the cheerleading squad and school clubs, Griffith said.
Griffith credited then-new Principal Josh Holtcamp with uncovering the missing money during a school-level investigation.
"We notified the [state] comptroller and then through the night Ms. Vandergriff came in and left her keys in Mr. Holtcamp's office with a letter saying that she resigned her post," he said.
12th Judicial District Attorney Mike Taylor said the vandalism charge stems from Vandergriff's destruction of the hard drive on the computer she used at the school.
Taylor asked the TBI to open an investigation in October 2013 and presented the case to the grand jury earlier this week, he said.

The SOCK Story
Serenity Sock yarn has been a huge hit – and I think that's because of both the variety and the quality of the yarn. I confess, I have NOT been caught up by the sock craze. My penchant for fast projects makes me less than the ideal candidate for size three needles and really skinny yarn. But I forced myself to give socks a try. "Wow! How cool this Serenity Sock yarn is," I thought as the ribbing began to take shape on my first sock. Using Lavender Topaz, I persevered and fell in love with the rich coloring.
Serenity Sock is great for a lot more than just socks too. I heard from a lady who was using the sock yarn for a shawl and needed something in gold and brown colors to go with a dress she had. I recommended Citrine, which has flash of color along with the rich earth tones that sounded right for her outfit. The tiny bit of wool is just enough to make socks (or whatever) feel right – but not so much that people like me who really don't like wools are bothered.

Adam Dunn, White Sox:
It'll be tough for the 32-year-old to regress after posting career-lows in BA (.159 – yes, .159), HR (11), RBI (42), R (36) and OBP (.292) in 415 ABs last season. The scary-low HR total snapped his streak of 7 straight 35+ HR campaigns. And while a bounce-back to that magnitude is unlikely, Dunn still has plenty of promise heading into 2012.
Often times, much is made about a player's switch in leagues, with the general concern about hitters' unfamiliarity with new pitchers. I've never really bought into that notion, but maybe it applied to Dunn. Before landing in Chicago, Dunn spent his entire 10-year MLB career in the NL with Cincinnati, Arizona and Washington. One wouldn't think he needed a whole season to adjust to AL pitching, but it's possible. It's also possible he simply wasn't able to fix a flaw in his swing, the opinion of his then-manager Ozzie Guillen.
From a value standpoint, there's little risk in investing in Dunn. According to Mock Draft Central, he's going, on average, 261st overall in 12-team 5x5 mocks. So if you're hunting for power in the later rounds, don't hesitate to grab Dunn banking on a rebound season. He's locked into the DH role and should have plenty of RBI opportunities hitting in the middle of the White Sox's promising lineup. He's looked promising early in spring training action too, starting 2 for 7 with a homer, 3 walks, and 0 punch-outs.
2012 projection: 439 ABs, .262 AVG, 31 HR, 90 RBI, 74 R, 0 SB
Jason Heyward, Braves:
Heyward entered the majors in 2010 with a tremendous amount of buzz. While he didn't disappoint in his debut, his sophomore campaign burnt plenty of fantasy owners that bought the hype; he hit just 14 bombs and tallied a .227 AVG in 396 ABs. Now entering his 3rd season in the bigs – and with 916 major league ABs under his belt – Heyward is poised for a huge leap in production.
Heyward tweaked his swing in the offseason, and claimed in early February that the transition was "90%" complete. It's looked about 9% complete so far in spring training, as he's started just 3 for 14 with 5 strikeouts. Of course, it's still really early, and I fully expect his bat to come around before the regular season.
He has all the tools to succeed, with impressive bat speed and serious power potential. Translation – the 22-year-old phenom is primed to post career highs across the board.
His biggest obstacles remain staying healthy and moving up in the Braves lineup – heading into opening day, Heyward is expected to hit 7th according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
2012 projection: 522 ABs, .288 AVG, 27 HR, 97 RBI 99 R, 16 SB
Edinson Volquez, Padres:
It's been a rocky road for EV. He was dominant in 2008, posting a 3.21 ERA and over a K/IP, but has pretty much fallen off a cliff since. He needed Tommy John surgery in 2009 and while rehabbing, was slapped with a 50-game suspension for using a performance enhancing drug. Volquez was downright awful upon returning, and didn't improve last season when he went on to record an atrocious 5.71 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 108.2 IP with Cincy.
Now on to the good news. Volquez came over from the Reds this offseason in the Mat Latos trade and essentially has a rotation spot locked up. The obvious advantage is in the ballpark; whereas Great American Ballpark in Cincy is arguably the NL's most hitter-friendly, PETCO's spacious alleys have been a savior for many pitchers.
Volquez has a track record of success too, and his mid-90s heater and plus breaking stuff make him a solid bet to at least help you in the strikeout department. He'll give you a headache or two with his command, so you might be best served avoiding watching his starts. Just remember, it doesn't have to be pretty to be effective.
One note of caution: wins are likely to be sparse since he pitches for one of the league's worst offenses.
2012 projection: 28 GS, 186 IP, 9 W, 182 K, 3.69 ERA, 1.34 WHIP

MIAMI — Gold numbers pop from a gold-bordered black plate spanning the top of Luis Gonzalez Infante's thin right wrist. Double strands of gold link chains connect on the underside, keeping the bracelet in place.
Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez couldn't take his eyes off it.
Infante caught Fernandez, the National League Rookie of the Year, staring throughout Thursday's lunch. Fernandez was itching to know what 3 4 0 2 8 represented but didn't dare ask. At one point he whispered to Ralph Fernandez, his Tampa attorney, "That can't be good."

Victoria Beckham sues Rock & Republic
Pictured above: Victoria Beckham with Rock & Republic's Michael Ball and Andrea Bernholtz at the launch of her dVb range at Kitson in June 2005.
The woes of Victoria Beckham's dVb line continue with the news that she is suing Rock & Republic, the LA-based fashion label which once manufactured her denim range at £200 a pop. The Spice Girl is claiming that she is owed as much as £50 million by Rock & Republic following their split in June 2007. She parted ways with the fashion label after just two years, following rumours that her relationship with R & R designer/owner Michael Ball turned sour.
According to the Daily Mail, a High Court listing shows that Beckham Brand Ltd, a company set up by Victoria and David, has filed a legal claim against Rock & Republic last month for a compensation payout of earnings lost.
This is the latest knock for Victoria's dVb denim line which has been selling poorly in the U.S. and criticised by boutique owners, such as Fraser Ross of Kitson, for its disappointing performance.
Ross made headlines last month when he told the press that he was close to axing the range from his store due to Posh's lack of promotional work.
"We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn't. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell," he told People magazine.
Despite later retracting his comments, it is believed that if sales do not improve, Beckham's dVb denimwear line is likely to be dropped by many stores next season.

Mousse Tarts
Rich white chocolate and whipped cream combine in these fast-to-fix berry-topped treats. Although the tarts originally called for dark chocolate, I prepare them with white chocolate. I double the recipe when I'm asked to bring a dessert to special events. They're always a hit.

Prep/Total Time: 10 min.
3 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

18 fresh raspberries
6 mint sprigs
In a microwave, melt white chocolate; stir until smooth. Cool for 1
minute, stirring several times. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat
cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the milk, vanilla and melted
chocolate. Add half of the whipped cream; beat on low speed just
until combined. Fold in remaining whipped cream. Spoon into tart
shells. Garnish with raspberries and mint. Yield: 6 servings.
