You Can't Keep Your Secrets From TwitterBY DAVID ZAXhttp://www.fastcompany.com/user/253232Tue Jul 26, 2011 On the Internet, no one knows you're secretly a man (or woman), right? Think again. Just by examining patterns in tweets, you can infer a Twitter user's gender. A look at the words (Etsy, Jeep, redneck...) that make men and women give themselves away.
There is a deletion discussion on an American online fashion store selling dance wear, leggings, coloured tights etc. here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/We_Love_Colors
Notability is contested, but in my view on the right side of the threshold:
Book coverage (11-page chapter on the company's history, marketing strategy etc., in a German degree thesis published by GRIN):
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=gQFNMJk2J40C&pg=PA7&dq=%22we+love...
GRIN specialises in degree theses. It's close to self-publishing, and not good enough for anything controversial, but seems okay to me in this context:
Feature in BellaOnline, a women's Internet magazine that's got about 300 citations in Wikipedia:
http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art63512.asphttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/in...
The company has been mentioned, or featured in fashion spreads, in the LA Times, Washington Post, The Age (Australia), Dance Magazine and others; e.g.
http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/07/image/ig-polyvore7http://www.coolhun...
The current article is in a poor state and needs a lot of work of course, but all in all I think there is enough for a short description and reception section.
Outside eyes welcome, without prejudice -- if you think the sources I found are insufficient, and fail to unearth additional ones, do what you think it is best. But I think fashion stuff like this may well be an area where we are more likely to delete than other areas, and this kind of thing can form a vicious circle.

A Google search for Miami Hosiery "We Love Colors" returns 34,000 hits, but they mostly seem to be the product of a successful promotion campaign.
