'While You Were Sleeping' is our feature wherein we round up all of the news stories that managed to slide underneath our radar the day before. Thank you and you're welcome.

PETA may have taken it easy on the fur-loving fashion set in New York, London, and Milan, but it now appears as though the increasingly ridiculous animal rights organization was only taking a break to prep for their massive assault in Paris. French Vogue EIC Carine Roitfeld got caught in the cross fires this past weekend. [Style.com,Purple Diary]

Fall '09 Paris Fashion Week collections from Yves Saint Laurent, Manish Arora, Guy Laroche, Viktor & Rolf, Zucca, Giambattista Valli, Stella McCartney, Sonia Rykiel, Costume National. [Coutorture]

The one and only Valentino will be in New York on Tuesday, March 17, to tape an episode of The Martha Stewart Show to promote the theater release of his documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor. [The Cut]

Fashion critic Robin Givhan on Michelle Obama's superbly toned arms: "The arms imply vanity and power: two things that make many women uncomfortable and yet are fundamental to self-confidence." [The New Yorker]

Kate Moss is set to make an appearance in the front row of pal Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel fashion show today. Also, Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto was seen chatting it up with Anna Wintour during a visit at Karl's Paris offices. Could there be a Vogue cover in the works? [On The Runway/NYT]

One person who won't be trying to catch a peep of the supermodel today? Marianne Faithful. The 60s icon thinks Miss Moss is, well, a swagger-jacking vampire. [Daily Mail UK]

Apparently, I've been studying way too hard for my mid-terms because I completely over-looked the news story boasting of Madonna's forthcoming clothing line with Christian Audigier. From Louis Vuitton ads to Ed Hardy tattooed hoodies. Can anyone say 'downgrade'? [Grazia UK]

The "Pantyhose/sheer leggings over panties" look should not be tried by anyone who wants to maintain respect amongst their collegues at work. Hopefully, this is one trend that will suffer a quick death.

Now that MadeMe's fall '08 collection has dropped, that want to hook-up four lucky ladies with a few key pieces for this season.

The rules are short and sweet. So pay attention! Because you could be getting really, really cool streetwear merch in your mailbox if you can control your ADD for a few minutes.

To enter the contest, you must answer the following question and email your answer to aroudthewaygirls@gmail.com:

"If Madonna were an around the way girl........What.Would.Madonna.Do?"

Now go! And if you can incorporate some Madonna lyrics into your answer that's only going to help your case. Good luck.

Once again, someone has hi-jacked the graphic off of a t-shirt from a popular women's streetwear label.

This time, the culprit is e.Charlie (left_ and the designer-in-question, whom the brand ripped off, is MadeMe (right). The only difference between the two Madonna tributes is the fact that the tees themselves are two different colors and e.Charlie crossed out the word "dick" in the quote and replaced it with Alex.

If you want to support the original design by MadeMe, its on sale at Karmaloop right now for $18.95.
