    @Penny: Selfridges always does an incredible job with their windows - just walking by the department store is enough to make me laugh. Are you responsible for creating window displays, Penny? You lucky thing. #selfridges

    @Penny: My momma, talented and multi-faceted woman that she is, used to have this specific job. She was in charge of costuming and arranging display figures and scenes for department store Holiday windows all over the country.

    A ridiculously interesting job, but one not without its disadvantages: Come July, her basement workshop was always full of naked, armatured motorized elves and Victorian ladies with glass eyes, smiling cheerily into the darkness. #selfridges

    Oh, Ms. Barton. How I loved you in the O.C. But then the show ended. And you started wearing really weird clothes. Then your clothes became even more weird, and you added weird hats to your weird outfits. And now, you want me to buy headbands from you? Headbands, really? Oh honey. If they don't look good on you, with your perfect skin and flowing locks, they are gonna look like twelve kinds of shit on me. So. How about instead of shilling crappy head wear, tell me which products you use on your face. Then maybe we can be friends. Maybe.

    I may have missed this month's Vogue-bashing installment and possibly it was mentioned there, but when I read through the really thin January edition I noticed a mention of "high/low" fashion combinations. When I read the actual article I couldn't find any mention of what I would consider cheap shit. Are the NY 'recessionistas' wearing their Vuitton with so-called cheap shit that I still couldn't afford even when the economy is good?


    What a tease. I wanted to read about the cheap shit!

    Can we please address these so-called "sales"? Because the only time I step into a mall is during the Christmas season, and I have shopped at Macy's and Nordstroms and Dillards and have yet to see one damned thing that I would consider a real "sale." And the jewelry "sales" are a freaking joke. Jack up the price to one no one would pay so you can cut it down to a normal price and call it a "bargain"?


    Back to TJMaxx/Marshall's for me. They actually know me by name there - I'm not sure if that's good or bad!?

    When will celebrity "designers" start learning from Jessica Simpson? No one is going to pay 100 dollars for something cheap with Mischa Barton's name on it. What we will do is buy reasonably priced cute shoes with Jessica Simpson's name safely hidden under our foot. Celebrities names aren't worth anything when applied to fashion--they should just make things that are cute and cheap.

    I work part time at Macy's and they've lost their motherfucking minds if they think people are going to be shopping in there at 3 in the morning. We don't even have customers during normal business hours. Also, this is the first I've heard of this. Maybe it's just the NYC stores?

    @blackbirdfly: Well hell, it works for Wal-Mart in my redneck backwater town. They're open 24/7 and I have to pass by when returning from late gigs. It always, always amazes me that people are shopping in that store at 3 am. I don't think I've ever seen the customer portion of their parking lot with fewer than 20 cars there.


    I've heard that its really fun to take a drunken stroll through Wal-Mart at 2 am after they kick you out of the closing bar. Ahem, yes, *cough* that is what I've heard.

    But the McDonald's in our local Wal-Mart is not 24 hrs, which totally ruins the fun when you need some greasy fries to replenish the calories burned while riding bikes.

    Please, please tell me that's a headband made out of lasers. Or lit candles. Or lightbulbs. I'll even be happy if it's made from a fluorescent rave tube. Anything that actually glows.


    If it doesn't give off light in some way, I'm suing her for false advertising.
