FLIP OUT!

Learning the latest dance craze, courtesy of Anna Sui.

Seeing trends during Fashion Week is par for the course, but seeing new dance moves?  That's something rare, exciting, and very fun.  So of course it was up to Anna Sui, purveyor of America's rocker babe style, to do it on her runway last night.

What happened?  Dozens of girls in Marsha Brady haircuts stormed the catwalk, and one by one demonstrated the latest in stylish posing - something we'll call The Anna Sui Hair Flip.

Here's how it works:

1.  Put on some music, preferably The White Stripes, The Kills, or The Brady Bunch Family Album.  Face the camera (or your friends) with a slight smile.

2.  Step forward, hard, while keeping your body upright. 

3.  Smile even bigger, as if you're a '60s television star, while pivoting quickly on your front foot.

4.  Whoosh around so your hair literally whips through the air.

5.  Keep on walking.
