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.

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 […]

A handful of retailers opted to buck the promo trend this holiday season and sell their product at full price! But is that enough to bail out the “fat man”? Check out the video here:
And Happy Holidays TB readers!

Ok—trust me on this. I used to LOVE Hot Topic (NASDAQ:HOTT). It was one of the truly differentiated concepts in the Mall. Goth freaks and music dorks unite!

Ok-the consumer is busted. You know this already. Two words: equity extraction. Don’t even get me started on gas prices. I’m talking Mass here–not LUXURY.
