Normally models don't do it for me. The Ralph Lauren waifs with the vapid stares? Yeah, nothing. That's probably because I like my women brilliant, with large doses of personality.

Which is why Chicago-based Zoe Rothberg's xnx designs made me smile this morning, especially the girls in the quasi-military outfits. Would I come up and say "hi" to a girl wearing that at a party? Probably. And that takes a lot for me – my friends will testify to my perpetual wallflower status around people I don't know. But dang – someone with the soul to wear an outfit like that is someone I've gotta know. :)
