Couture Coke-Heads?

By admins | December 15, 2008

    

In case you haven’t heard yet, two Fashion Institute of Technology students were busted in NYC last week for selling coke.  Christine Scafa and her roommate Mickenzie Dippenwotrh, were busted for selling coke to an undercover cop at the Chelsea nightclub, “Home.”  The students have apparently been selling coke out of their FIT dorm to fellow fashion students for several months now.  It is believed that they met their supplier in the neighborhood, as he’s a resident of a housing project on 27th street nearby their 31st FIT dorm.  At one time, these ladies probably imagined being the headline story during fashion week, not becoming infamous for a drug bust.  This bust will end any chance of a career before it has even begun.  Yes we know, drugs are not exactly looked down upon in the fashion industry, but we are referring to the marshmallow jacket and droopy khaki’s, Yikes!  Would you take fashion direction from these two?  Maybe the whole fashion thing wasn’t really working out, so they decided becoming drug dealers was the way to go.

   They look so happy getting busted lol. I would never think something like that would happen at my school. After the drug bust, I got so many e-mails from the dean of my major on how to “be safe” >__>;.

   yeah, why are they smiling?! maybe they were, uh, sampling the product? oh, the irony of getting caught breaking the law and being a fashion don’t… maybe the fashion police will let them off with a misdemeanor.
