  1. ha. so i was talking to someone yesterday who works in the fashion industry in some capacity about the bedbug epidemic in nyc and he told me that european models are so used to bedbugs where they are from that they dont care if they carry them in or if they are infested. that is SO gross. seriously, europeans need to be decontaminated before they enter the country and not be allowed to bring any of their belongings from home

    *rob*

  2. Wow, CGar, I had a dream about you last night. No s**t!!!!
    And I dreamed that you were the first poster on OT. That was all. And I felt relieved in my dream and I feel relieved now. I hope all is settling down.

    France to Repatriate 93 Gypsies to Romania

    Paris (AP) — A French Immigration Ministry official says
    93 Roma are to be repatriated to their native Romania.
    The official, who declined to be identified in accordance with ministry policy, said 79 people are to leave on a charter flight from the central city of Lyon later Thursday.
    Another 14 left on a commercial flight to Romania from the Paris region earlier in the day, the official said. Another flight is slated for Friday.
    The flights are part of a crackdown by France’s conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy. He has linked Gypsies, or Roma, to crime and spearheaded a campaign to dismantle their illegal camps and send some home to Eastern Europe.
    Critics contend the policy discriminates against one of the Europe’s most vulnerable communities.
