With the current economic distress comes not only fire-sale deals on clothing, cars, and even houses, but also some more interesting items.

I’m not jaded. I promise. But I’ve never really been able to get into the Oscars or the Grammys simply based on the shear spectacle of it all. Plus, I can’t stand the hours and hours of coverage that wastes my time with news of who’s wearing what, if you want to [...]
