Sign Of The Times, From The Post

Here's an assignment for you: kindly read this short blurb from Page Six and sound off.

I'm not sure what ticks me off the most:

1) the crummy economy
2) women who make their husbands do the "dirty" work
3) that the NY Post sees fit to set us back a hundred years with snarky anti-grrl rants.

Comments?!

Sample Sale Alert: Yoox

Fortunately for my wallet, this stunning Alexander McQueen jacket sold out AS I was posting this...learn from my mistake:

Visit the Yoox sample sale for prices of up to 90% off Marni, Miu Miu, Missoni, etc.

Go. Now.

That is all.

Help Me Decide: Fab or Faux, Authentic Prada on Ebay?

As an eBay seller with perfect feedback, and a rabid buyer of designer goods on the site it always gets my panties in a wad whenever I stumble upon raging fakes.

Per esempio:





Being touted by the seller as a "Rare, 100% Authentic, and As Seen in Sex And The City"

Um...I don't think so.

I could be wrong, and I won't link to the auction because I don't want to smear an innocent person until proven guilty, but do please chime in: fab or faux?!

Your Favorite Store & YouTube Had A Baby...

...and brought you something called Shopflick.

This is one of those brilliant ideas that I wished I had thought of.

Basically Shopflick works like this: sellers upload a video about an item and shows you how it looks, how it works, what it's benefits are...that sort of thing. As a buyer, you get the experience of a one-on-one experience with a merchant without leaving your living room.

See what I mean by watching this seller at Filthmart describing this cool "New York Crimes" tee by clicking here.

The best thing about it is that it allows smaller boutiques and indie sellers to share their retail goodies with the world. I'm crossing my fingers that Etsy sellers will take advantage of this video technology to make that whole experience even more wonderful than it already is.

(FYI: I don't think these folks are affiliated with YouTube in any way - just trying to illustrate a point)
