COVER STORY Once you've outgrown Halloween, the best thing about October is that its cool weather induces great-looking women like Sharon Kaye to wear sweaters. Sharon was photographed by Contributing Photographer Stephen Wayda; her make-up is by Pat Tomlinson. Perry/Hollister were stylists and Sharon's sweater is by I. B. Diffuson, Chicago. Senior Art Director Len Willis designed the cover. Where's the Rabbit? Hare today, yarn tomorrow.
