exit does not exist

NBC nightly news reports that one of the only consumables that has had positive sales is, lottery tickets (followed closely by alcohol). Their rez expert lady likens the scratch-off spike is more like when movie ticket sales increased in the 30s, saying that people want a bit of escapism in tough times. The fantasy that their life could change over-night. What else might also be on the upswing? I am calling for sex and hallucinogens. I am crossing my beer chilled fingers for the day when someone makes a valentines day gift basket of all four vices; guaranteed sell out. Retailers peep that.

hand in hand; arm in arm

Hot on the heels of the news that Louis Vuitton is lowering the cost of its luxury wares, by 7%, in Japan due to the country's 'economic problems' and LV's policy to 'offer its products at appropriate prices' (say whaaaaaaa) is the news that condom sales are on the rise (say yehhhhhhh). Which would you choose, a Richard Prince edition LV for several thou or a roll (or several rolls) in the hay? I guess this goes with the current mantra of staying in and making do with what you've got, you know, instead of going out and dropping cash on a fancy dinner, eat in; instead of buying the latest 'it' bag/shoe; eat out.

ok so the title has more to do with bad girls club than the following text, but, i have a point to make. Now you know, my loves, my love for jcrew. it's all american! fairly well made! they have MADEWELL (easily best basics store for those who are fed up with american apparel's strangle hold over tee shirts and cardigans and not-withstanding poor quality control in terms of sizing) but. srsly jcrew. $2K for leather luggage? that is catalog/internet only? i'm sure people will buy it, but people will buy fucking anything. ANYTHING (pls see: hello kitty tombstone / vibrator) that is as nonsense as buying a wedding dress online. i could easily blow that cash on the following equally nonsense purchases:

vday get laid

there are only three appropriate presents to give a love(r) for valentines day: food, jewels, sex. actually there is only one appropriate present and it is combining all of the above. Aussie chocolatier Baska-Jon's Sweet Talk chocolates are light years beyond stale conversation hearts and can be purchased at Baska-Jon for A$6 which is well worth it for 24-special treats. Alex & Chloe are a favorite go-to designer for smart playful jewelry. Whether it be a lucite silhouette of kate moss or this inverted diamond solitare i flip my shit and debate maxing out my visa so i can drape myself in finery and tell people it's from a design-minded secret admirer. Lastly, what is the gift that keeps on giving? Sexy accented English lessons from a Japanese tramp teacher. Bonus: you can learn in reverse how to say the phrases in Japanese. (nsfw, unless you work somewhere that allows you to yell 'first rate cunt lapping!')
