Juicy Snippet:

Karlo Steel, an owner there, said he had gone through the store’s receipts for September, twice, and found no sales that matched that amount, nor any combination of sales that added up to the total. Because the store carries aggressively directional men’s wear, he caters to a small clientèle and knows most of his customers by name, as well as the history of their purchases.

Oh damn, that's funny, IanDB1!!!!

I wonder if she's given her social security number to any Nigerians lately?

:rofl:

2. She is also a THIEF ....

4. What in the hell is "aggressively directional men's wear"? Is that for men

who need Viagra but can't take it? :shrug:

6. No idea whatsoever ... Must be one of them elitist things

10. The clothes from Atelier are avant garde.

As the store stocks brands like Yohji Yamamoto, a man of Todd's age (and shape) would look like a tool wearing meggings (man leggings) with leather Chucks. So what it means is that Sarah has taught personal shoppers how to cook books.

5. Well, the article at least confirms that Trig's convention night outfit...

... was purchased by the RNC.

Wow. So the kid didn't have any clothes????

7. I hope this story lasts and lasts.

About Palin and NM, my husband said to me, Do you realize how many $300.00 skirts and $1500.00 jackets $75k will buy?

He said - honey, our HOUSE wouldn't be able to hold all of it.

Toad's story is also extremely curious.

Where'd the money go you freakin' thieves!!!

[VolcanoJen]

8. What kills me the most about this story....

... are all the GOP congress critters absolutely STRUGGLING in their races, who really could've used an injection of funds from the RNC to defend their seats.

But apparently the RNC would rather play "Dress-Up Caribou Barbie" with donations from their supporters. Wow. I mean, just WOW!!!!!

9. wow .. you are almost feeling sorry for the laggards .. you should be cheering this act ...you silly

.....volcanoJen ..

No Donut for you

11. What a mess. Is this what the rats look like when the ship begins to sink? n/t

[Retrograde]

12. I want one of these

From the article cited:

"The purchase was a little black t-shirt featuring the Ramones, as well as a striped hoodie, a pair of pants with a tiger on it and a pair of cargo pants, all from Tea Collection."

If I had a toddler I'd definitely dress him or her in a little Ramones shirt: just too cute for words. Somehow, though, I can't see little Trig wearing it - or any other proper GOP baby. Methinks someone is skimming a bit.
