Company’s prices out of line

Published Feb 16, 2006

It's an internal war, and the victims are the men who are forced to view the disgusting ensembles worn by the combatants.

At 39, Laura Crawley's strong and slender limbs are masked behind her black leggings and rubber flip-flops. Normally a marathon runner, she had to change her workout because of a stress fracture. Fresh out of her yoga class, Crawley sat at the table, tearing her sour dough bread apart with her shivering hands. "I'm cold," she said with a quiver. A blue bandana pulled her cinnamon hair back from her cornflower blue eyes and fresh face lacking makeup. She brought her chilled fingers above her ears that contained only one gold stud to point to the gray hairs that weren't there.
