Lohan accompanied long time companion Samantha Ronson on the trip to celebrate the Queen Of The Fedoras' 31st birthday. Lohan wanted to end the birthday trip as soon as she discovered that the shopping center contained no stores that sold Lohan's life fuel: cigarettes and leggings.

Thursgay Styles Translator: "Cutting-Edge" = "Cameltoe"

Turns out we're not the only ones who've finally shaken off the shackles of pants-wearing. And while you might be thinking, "leggings, yes, I own them, I've had them since last year when they first became popular. I bought them at American Apparel like everyone else and their (literal, unfortunately) Mom," the Styles mavens have news for you: if you wear them sans crotch-concealing over layer, they'll be magically transformed. Indeed! Leggings worn solo are not just stretch pants, they're a fucking revolution, a "courageous experiment," according to Saks creative director Michael Fink. So whip off that miniskirt and let the world see the vague outline of your special place. According to the paper of record, it's a "racy form of minimalism" that "represents the cutting edge."
And if you have an extra millionth of an ounce of body fat, it's not going to make you look like Peg Bundy, like, at all.
