Tropical January Tuesday Evening Links

Let's get serious. It's too nce out to sit home and blog, but here's a few links about what else is going on

• Mark Malkoff had to vacate his apartment while it was fumigated so he decided to move into the Paramus NJ Ikea until January 12th. They said OK! We are fascinated and horrified. His journal about the adventure is here. (Mark Lives In Ikea)
• Liz Claiborne continues to clean house. Laundry by Design and C&C California have been sold, Sigrid Olsen will be shut down and Enyce will stay put. (WWD)
• Mr. Blackwell once again releases his Worst Dressed List with Posh Spice at the top. Yeah, we thought he was dead too. (Jezebel)
• It was inevitable. The neighborhood was waiting for its arrival. The real question is what took so long? Scoop is rumored to be moving into the former Reebok retail space in Columbus Avenue. (RACKED)
• CompUSA gets a deathbed reprieve. The company was purchased by Systemax division TigerDirect and will continue operating 16 stores under its original name. So much for the liquidation deals (which weren't at all impressive anyway) (PC World)
• Now that the economy is contracting, Tommy Hilfiger has decided that it's a great time for an Initial Public Offering. (WWD)
