I can't tell if this is really clever marketing or some niche trend.
Either way, it explains why you can't find Smirnoff Ice in Murray Hill anymore.

I have been on the fence regarding precocious fashion blogger Tavi.
For those of you unfamiliar with her, she is a 14 year old fashion blogger whose wise beyond her years analysis has made her the talk of the industry.

Word Tavi.
