High Holidays Inspire Fashion's Next Big Thing: Goats!

It was mayhem at Fashion Week in NYC with the 'running of the goats,' as Saks Fifth Avenue employees paraded goats through Midtown Manhattan to promote their new line of sweaters. PETA warmongers went nuts as usual, but they failed to comprehend the religious significance behind this seemingly frou-frou act: Saks had been inspired by a G-dly source: G-d and His High Holy Days!

Sylphlike fashionistas noshing on (well, really pretending to eat - we all they don't eat, silly) feta cheese were really debuting the new fruit of 2006! It was a sight to behold as bugle boys blew shofars to herald the coming of the models adorned in goat, who proclaimed ibex fur the absolute lust AND must of the season, while mink was totally out. "Genius!" screamed Andre Leon Talley, fashion's High Priest. "Only goat fur could atone for last year's past fashion sins. Ugg boats worn in the summer were tres unfortunate!"

While NYC's Jews burst into song upon hearing of this spiritual event, we cynics at JYC must caution them not to expect this to last: pretty soon, goats will be so last year, and fittingly, they will be sacrificed in the name of fashion's Next Big Thing (we predict: gumball machines worn as body art) and sent on to Azzazel.

In the meantime, however, let us all raise our voices and bleat a rousing Shana Tova!
