She had a feature a while back about shopping at New York's discount stores: Filene's Basement, Loehmann's, and so on. She presented it as this exotic walk on the wild side, which left me feeling slightly sour-grapesy, since she, well, wrote a whole New Yorker feature by essentially just describing, in amusing detail, what is my whole regular clothes-shopping beat, in recession and in not-recession. (No wait. Now that the recession's on, I can't really remember the last time I went clothes shopping.)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a good read.

At first I thought they would either have known not to join, or would have figured out some brilliant way to survive (They are sooooo cool and smart fighting that prairie fire). But I recall that they did lead the kids into mortal peril more than once, always cutting off any discussion with the sentence "All's well that ends well."the chocolate doctor מרת שאקאלאדhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17844956689807749316noreply@blogger.com
