In case it hasn’t occurred to you yet, right now is a great time to stock up on fringues. MrLittlePants and I left a trail of destruction on 5^th Ave above 14^th on Sunday, snagging blazers, shirts, jeans.

I haven’t been clothes shopping in a half-year (it’s hard when you’re such a cold bitch), but I actually enjoy myself when sales inch past a 50% discount, as they have in the past week or so.

Once upon a time, the big sales happened right after Christmas, for obvious reasons. Something (probably gift-card mania) has pushed them into late January, right where the French have had them parked by government mandate since the time of Charlemagne.

That’s fine by me, since it was just in time for our company summit (or, as I call it, glam-whore week 2006). Now, those other bitches don’t stand a chance.
