Okay, this is another OT -- but it really gnawed at me.... Mostly because the headline was so not what I found in the content (which offers me a great opportunity to remind you that authors are often not responsible for headlines).

From the New York Times, When Conscience and Closet Collide:

Five years ago, Mrs. Baden, the lawyer, rarely gave much thought to paying full retail for an evening dress she was unlikely to wear again. But in the weeks approaching a recent gala, she bought a Chanel gown at Ricky’s on eBay for one third of its original $10,000 price. “I was going to wear it to just one function,” she recalled. “To spend that kind of money — I couldn’t justify it.”

May I be the first teaching artist to say, "Cry me a farkin' river!!!"

Thank you for letting me vent. I feel better now.
