A Real Fashion Statement
According to store owner Billy Tsangares, Americans "have been looking for things to make a statement about" and have settled on this one: Free Winona. What started as a joke has blossomed into serious business, and Tsangares even has a website with a daily trial blog devoted to this: www.freewinona.com. People are actually buying these things. I wonder how sympathetic they'd be if it were a non-celebrity. In a truly ironic twist, Saks, the store she was arrested for stealing from, has expressed interest in selling a version of the line after the trial! Anything for a buck, I guess.
A visit to his website shows that Mr. Tsangares not only wishes us to buy t-shirts to free shoplifting actresses but also to free insider-trading domestic goddesses. Yes, he also has a Free Martha line. Thank G_d someone is looking out for the poor, downtrodden celebrity in this country!

Just another victim of the racist, sexist, jury-rigged, class-based judicial system.
Goes to purchase a case of t-shirts.

I could see it now. Winona Wear. The TV commercials would show people sneaking in thru the windows to steal Winona Sweat Pants...or that creepy guy down the hall in your building stealing your laundry. ARg
