METRO Magazine announces its METRO 100

METRO Magazine's October issue offers its annual METRO 100 list - the 100 coolest/best things about the Twin Cities.

LOL/OMG!, a social media gossip blog of which I'm a contributor, made the list, calling it "Page Six for cool kids."

• Knitwear designer Annie Larson, whose "bright colors and geometric shapes make (her) knit leggings, bags and sweaters impossible to resist"
