Child - I can find a bargain from three rows over

I am piled up at the Ritz in Atlanta due to the ice storm (you know The Ritz :wink: ) - and they wanted to give me the rack rate - I balked and pulled out all of my organization cards like AAA, ABA, etc. I would up getting the room for WAY less (about $200 less) than the rack rate AND they cut the pet fee in half becuase I laughed out loud when they told me the original price - I also explained that no Ritz in the world has ever chraged me that much So, yes, if you want a bargain, come shopping with me as I rarely pay retail - I will if it is to die for, but that is a rareity

Well, there aren't many in the US, so don't feel left out.

We don't have any in RI either, so I don't know what it is like.

Interestingly, it was Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts, then Art Deco then modern - it is all a progression to the steamline of modern. I LOVE the Chrysler Building in NYC - I think it is a nice hamony of all three

Also, I truly believe we have Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright to thank for that progression. I think his work was WAY ahead of its time and was brilliant in its simplicity and HUGE tiny detailing

overstock.com is great as is domestications.com

[EnchantedSLN]

eBay, Sephora, Trader Joe's, Amoeba Music (best music store ever), and just about any clothing store where I can find a decent selection of jeans without crazyass fade designs. Who started that??

You guys need to come to downtown L.A. I can show you all the stuff you find in In Style spreads and trendy import stores/furniture boutiques at 10% of the cost.

of bargain shopping for music...I stalk out all the stores until I find the best deal, Plus I know of all the secret lil' places in OKC that carry **** musically that will make people shoot their own Mother's to receive (Found some interesting Stevie Nicks 1981 Bella Donna promos at one such store, Couldnt believe it was sitting there all the time and noone bother to purchase it.)

Hell, people say I should open my own music store since I have a good ability to hunt music down that even places that custon order can't...Trust me, Owning my own music store is the only dream/wish I would like to fulfill in this lifetime
