Here's what happened today in Racked cities around the country:

CHICAGO—Wish Merry Christmas to a loved one and really mean it by giving them specks of gold on cardboard.

LOS ANGELES—Awesome gal Tavi Gevinson spent her Sunday dancing and singing (but not moshing) with fans at the end of her three day Rookie Yearbook One book tour.

NEW YORK—Steven Alan has answered New Yorkers' fashion prayers by reinstating the brand's sample sale in Tribeca. But don't worry, you'll still be able to grab bargains online, too.
