    The Row's prices would make more sense if the clothes were made out of, I don't know, antique silk or RPattz's hair woven into fabric. But it's just JERSEY! That's expensive T-shirt material.

    The price of the glasses is not too bad. I'm all about cost per wear and those those frames will last for a while but the earrings? No.

    For $1700, those pants had better come with a damn clit-warmer.

    I'm pretty sure I can find those sun/moon $2900 earrings for $10 max at the local craft fair.

    Also, you, Dodai, are witty beyond imagination.

    I shall be sending you a $25 Barneys gift card.

    Do they make those?

    I don't care if that cardigan and tank top were made by blind French monks, there is absolutely no way that you can justify the $490 and $225 price tags. Bamboo jersey (the fabric they are made of) does not cost that much, nor does the manufacturing of those garments--not even in the same ballpark. Another $715 says they fall apart after the first washing.

    @Penny: The Barney's font? Yeah, it's quite graceful. I am much less charitable towards the "edgy" slab font they're using for the designer's names, however.

    @Penny: it's a font called Hollywood Hills, you can download it on dafont.com for free, it's done by ShyFonts.

    There's a whole bunch of forms of it that they mixed up at random to create that look.

    I'm kind of a font obsesser. It's a problem, I'm admitting it and dealing with it.

    @theCrippleCricket: Thanks! I like fonts a lot (and love dafont) but they tend to overwhelm me a bit. We use Veer a lot at work and I love experimenting with their fonts :-)

    What would the Board of Ed say if I suggested LOLFoundingFathers on a teaching job interview? Would they think it's a clever way to integrate our modern times into the teaching of American history? Or would they tell me that I was the reason for the decline of education in America? I don't know, but I'm tempted to find out!

    Did they have to photoshop out a chunk of her head for that pompadour? I do not believe that that is where most people's skulls stop.
