Talented Blonde’s Mall Redux: “Less Bad Doesn’t Mean Better”If you are a frequent reader of Talented Blonde, then you know that I am extremely bearish on the consumer right now. Although I am considered by many as a stocks commentator, I believe I separate myself from a lot of other media pundits, in […]

“Follow the money.” And that is exactly what Wal-Mart is doing with its new Walk-in Bill Pay Program. Brilliant! Why you ask? For one thing, (WMT) knows that a good portion of its customer base either has less or no access to credit, or in some cases no checking account. And that means paying household bills […]

Ok—I like a good book like the next gal. But , seriously . . . Twilight cosmetics?! I might like to watch vampires—but I sure as hell don’t want to look like one. The latest case of retailers hopping on beauty license cape –um I mean bandwagon is Lambus Partners licensing of the […]

Remain Calm! All is well! That’s what the media-and the current administration– want you to think. Green Shoots. But I disagree. Look at Jobless claims. Look at the new home foreclosure data.
