This reporter is making a blanket statement based on trying on ONE item of clothing. Also, this statement: "only to discover Barneys offers clothes in three sizes: 1, 2, and 3" is completely untrue, b...

I don't know about any of you, but I'm not getting on any flight that has a number that includes 5, 4, 9, and 1 anytime soon. What a bizarre coincidence.. ...
