We just got ours here at Racked HQ and, as expected, it's a heffer.

To bring you the full September Vogue heffer experience, we decided to use it to smash things. Yes, you read that right, smash things. And we took video of the smashage.

VERDICT: Unsurprisingly, Vogue totally owned the plastic cup. Crushed it, killed it, gave it wrinkles.

VERDICT: Following impact, remnants of the scraps of goldfishes on the Missoni for Target back cover. No grease spots, though, which was impressive. * No actual goldfish were harmed in this act of senseless destruction.

VERDICT:We may have underestimated the strength of these chow mein noodles. Although some noodles were crushed—most of the chow mein remained intact. Rematch next year, same place, same time. Bring it, VogueDavid Chen
