MANILA, Philippines - Mudslinging has long been a common practice in fashion. Catty remarks and biting commentary are staples of the industry that has favored outlandish personalities with a penchant for insult. But mudslinging of a different kind drew a curious audience a few days ago when models paraded after a mudflat football match near the northern German costal town of Brunsbuettel. Held on the sea bed when the tide is out leaving the muddy floor, locals gamely trooped to the sloppy location to witness models getting soaked by rainfall and mud. Whoever said fashion was a dirty business has clearly attended one of these shows. — BJL
