• Beginning to suspect this recent GAP logo design is just a PR stunt. It certainly is engaging!.

• charlie maguro, agreed! Just re-watched "Female Trouble" (for the 700th time!) and agree that Divine's performance was pin-point perfect on every level. Not a false note or misstep in the entire film. In fact, the whole film is something of an un-acknowledged masterpiece, isn't it?
