Target Campaign Goes 'Model-Less'
In Target's never-ending quest to be hipper than the competition, the retailer plans to showcase its fall and winter designer apparel in a spooky sort of fashion show: Clothes and accessories will dance and prance their way down the runway sans models -- and sans apparel.Instead of real models or clothing, the retailer will stage the fashion show using holograms -- two-dimensional moving images that give the illusion of having three dimensions.

American Gangster...
Snapshot of the Day: American Gangster
Denzel, Pauletta and Mel Gibson @ Special Screening for American Gangster last night.-----
American Gangster, directed by Ridley Scott, , starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe
A drug lord smuggles heroin into Harlem during the 1970s by hiding the stash inside the coffins of American soldiers returning from Vietnam. Formerly titled "Tru", American Gangster is a biopic of Harlem heroin kingpin Frank Lucas.
Lucas grew up in rural, segregated North Carolina where he watched as his cousin was shot by the Klan for looking at a white girl.
In the early 1970s he became the biggest heroin dealer in Harlem with a smuggling scheme that imported heroin out of Southeast Asia in the caskets of dead Vietnam soldiers.
He soon made upwards of one million dollars a day in drug sales. American Gangster centers on narcotics lawman Richie Roberts' struggle to bring down Lucas, whose flamboyant style earned him the street name "Superfly", and catching the crooked cops and drug dealers who profited from Lucas's scheme.
