Boston’s relationship with LED lights is a tenuous one. Last year, the city was paralyzed with fear when a couple of dirty artists installed Aqua Teen Hunger Force displays that the police thought were bombs. On the positive side, the beloved Citgo Sign in Kenmore Square now uses LED lights instead of neon tubes.

But LED lights were an object of scorn once again after MIT student Star Simpson decided to wear her light-up sweatshirt when she went to pick her boyfriend up at the airport. But the tide may be turning for light-up clothing. Not only are fashionable geeks showing their work in Boston, but at last night’s Grammys rapper Kanye West brought LED lights to the mainstream.

Our lovable band of Bostonistas have been making the rounds at Fashion Week, and bumping into Nigel Barker at every turn. They are all about berets, of course, but last night they made sure to make the scene: cougar style.

See where else Alyssa, Rachel, and the world’s most fashionable mom end up. Word is, a Marc by Marc update will be coming. So stay tuned.

As Bostonista reported earlier today, a Boston bankruptcy court sold Alpha Omega’s assets to a group of investors. Boston Daily spoke with Michael O’Hara, the Chief Restructuring Officer for Alpha Omega. He told us that readers should dust off their credit cards, as the investors will start selling Alpha Omega’s assets off tomorrow morning at all four locations.

Our friends over at Bostonista have a scoop: Victoria Beckham is coming to town.

The tabloid queen and all-around cool chick will be in Boston next week to promote dVb by Victoria Beckham, her own line of jeans and sunglasses. We just wanted to let you know so you can get out your huge sunglasses and perfect your sour face in honor of Mrs. David Beckham.

As Posh herself would say, it will be “may-jah.”

Yesterday came word that Major League Baseball would be enacting a “Francona Rule” named after Red Sox skipper Terry Francona’s less than conventional game attire. Instead of wearing his cozy fleece, Francona will be required to don a uniform next year. Is this leveling the playing field, or is MLB trying to kill the cardiac-challenged Francona?

Crocs are taking over Boston.
Yes, we know all too well they’re already being sold at stores all over the city. But the company is continuing to expand its reach in the ugly-but-comfy footwear market by opening its first East Coast retail store in Faneuil Hall on Black Friday. Gee, how did we get so lucky?

Here at Boston Daily, we love Thanksgiving. It’s one of the few holidays left that you can cite by name when wishing people well, and we love any occasion based on gorging ourselves on rich food and watching football. But for those of you who just can’t stand the idea of pulling giblets out of a raw turkey, we’ve got options for you.

As a public service, we recap the droll commentary and surprisingly stupid criminals that make the crime reports required reading.

We’ve noticed that a lot of college women don’t quite understand recent fashion trends. The racks at H&M are filled with tunic-length garments that are meant to be worn with tights or leggings, but some young women are wearing them bare legged. With one wrong movement, nothing is left to the imagination.

Maybe that’s what happened to Ashley Thrasher of Foxborough.

We kind of like QVC. The cable shopping channel does have some heinous offerings, but it also carries some of the high-end brands we love at lower prices. But last night we tuned in to see Jonathan Papelbon and Doug Mirabelli sell some astoundingly expensive memorabilia.

Two weeks ago, Boston Daily became a Red Sox Redhead. At that time, the Sox were losing to the Indians and we feared we may have sent Amy Derjue on a fool’s errand. Luckily for her, she’s now sporting the colors of the 2007 World Series champions. With the season over, we asked her how she liked rocking the red.
