Dumpster Diving = the New Black

Chron's own Lauri Apple to get her Willard Scott on.

A local politico and longtime fan of the paper, with (obviously) too much time on his hands, writes in:

Erstwhile [former] Chronicle reporter Lauri Apple to appear on the Today show tomorrow morning to talk about her "found clothing [foundclothing.blogspot.com]."

She was also featured on the cover of the Chicago Tribune's Lifestyle section Sunday (see photo). It's a koo-koo krazy world.

Man, if Matt Lauer and company are truly hip to the found-fashion/Freegan thing, the world is truly off its ass!
