That's because happy people these days are actually just selfish people who spend their time making sure all their needs are met but are not…

Should we give chivalry another chance? No thanks.

If you've opened a women's magazine recently, then you probably know what's in this season. "Investment" fashion! For the new economy, editors and luxury advertisers have been throwing around terms like "value," "quality," "green," "key pieces" and "timeless" as though they had some, well, timeless meaning.
