Katy v Katie

HER fashion sense has been described as "Lolita meets Joan Jett" but if you think US popstar Katy Perry's style is too quirky for Australian shoppers, think again.
Lawyers acting for the singer and musician are opposing a bid by a local fashion designer to trademark her birth name, Katie Perry, for her clothing label, despite the minor difference in spelling.
The Australian Perry, who started her Katie Perry luxury leisurewear label two years ago and has been trading online and through local markets, as well as participating in local fashion parades, launched a trademark application last September.
Last week she received a letter from Queensland-based legal firm Fisher Adams Kelly, acting for the popstar, asking her to stop trading.

Hindsight on Display?

The recently renamed California (nee Towe) Auto Museum in Sacramento now touts futuristic cars, such as the EV-1.
Twelve are left from 1995 unveiling. Only 50 were built by GM. Those who were leasing the vehicles were forced to surrender them. Those who tried to buy their EV-1 were denied.
Now it's a museum piece.
