Writer Cintra Wilson's faces her fashion kryptonite, Alexander McQueen, in this week's Times. She loves the man's designs so much, she dare not enter his stores.

"But this wasn’t a dress: It was the fulfillment of my deepest desires, in wool. For a literary performance, it was the perfect fusion of tweedy respectability and autobahn curves. Elves had tailored it on me while I slept. 'Dammit!' I snarled miserably at my ideal reflection." [NYT]For more stories from Racked, go to racked.com.
