The Lipstick Economy

Tara — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 22:08:21 +0000

I read an article today that seems to confirm what I’ve known all along: when times are tough, women buy cosmetics. While I’ve significantly scaled back my shoe shopping, I see nothing wrong with purchasing yet another lip gloss. I’ve already lost thousands in the stock market, and that did nothing for my appearance, why [...]
