Spies Like Us-Part Deux:The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Talented Blonde was out at the Mall today, getting a read on last minute holiday shopping. Will it be enough to move the needle? Um. In a word: scary. Although the parking lot appeared full, I witnessed a lot of wandering shoppers with no bags in hand. Again, the same two themes I have […]

Ok kids - THE TALENTED BLONDE was at the mall (again), and this startling realization
