Setting aside fashion for one week
By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I can’t write a fashion article today.
Instead, I’d like to honor my cousin, Michael Horrocks, who perished in the horrific attacks on September 11th, 2001.
Michael was 38 years old and a co-pilot on United Flight 175 when it was hijacked and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
He was a devoted husband and father to two beautiful...

By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, KennettTimes.com
I don’t want to mix fashion with religion….(although, I do consider a vintage quilted Chanel bag the “Holy Grail” and I won’t deny it.)
However, I feel that my soul needs cleansing and I’ve decided that you, my friends, will serve to be my “confessional” of sorts.
