"Victory Trophy"

The wifey can be the best "victory trophy" but a wife that buys her hubby a "victory trophy" is even better. Khloe Kardashian copped Lamar Odom a 2010 Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe.

Never trust a......

The old saying is, "NEVER trust a big (nice) butt and a smile". Is that golden saying or rule still true? I mean how much harm can come from trusting a comforting and appealing first impression?

Edrop-off Express Owner

Enter Corri McFadden, entrepreneur extraordinare and founder of E Drop-Off Express, a consignment biz selling luxury goods from well-heeled women all over the globe. A member of Pesa, Square Trade, and eBay's elite Power Seller Program, E-drop-off strives to achieve a higher return on your selling experience—and that goes for your buying experience as well.

One of the key elements that makes E Drop-off so successful, is their emphasis on the authenticity. Beyond a general passion for fashion, McFadden graduated from the International Academy of Design and Technology with a Bachelor in Fashion Design, so she has more than a few copies of Vogue backing her up. We caught up with her to learn the steps her business takes to ensure authenticity before listing on eBay.

1. Check labels: First we check all labels on the handbag to ensure that they match exactly the standards of the trademark holder.

2. Check overall construction: Inauthentic handbags will have flimsy construction and the quality will not match that of an authentic handbag.

3. Check material: Next, we check to make sure that the fabrication-inside and out- is correct. We make sure that the leather is genuine and that the proper lining matches the body of the particular style.

4. Check zippers: The next step is to check for appropriately stamped and branded zippers. Inauthentic handbags will not use proper zipper pulls.

5. Check lining: Each style of handbag will have a specific lining used. We check the markings, pattern and materials of lining and ensure that they are the proper match for the particular style of handbag.

6. Check authentication marks: Most designer handbags will have their own mark of authenticity. It may be a hologram, heat stamp or date code.
We check to ensure that it is correct and ensure proper placement of it in bag.

Time is Money

When it comes to how long it takes for women to get dressed, is time really money? If your talking about preparation then time is more important than money. Money is a commodity when it involves women getting ready for an evening. I mean would you rather have money or a women whose looks are on the money? Tough choice!

Judgement Calls

The best characteristics a person can have are not tangible. Intangible qualities that are great to have include: nice, caring, loyal, smart, non judgemental, considerate, down to earth and understanding. With that being said we are judged not by what kind of person we are but rather what we have accomplished, what we are accomplishing and what we have. In this world of shallowness and superficial value, it is better to be rich and an asshole rather than being kind, considerate and making $40,000 annually. No one challenges this status quo therefore it will be this way forever............

The G-Wagon

The Mercedes G-5 can be summed up into two words, "Tangible Timelessness". Through the years Mercedes has made subtle changes to this classic. It's sort of like fine wine, it gets better with time.

No better feeling

There is no better feeling than when you know your enjoying life.

How to fix the economy?

The popular solution to this liquidity crisis seems to be figured out. Just keep printing money, more and more and more. Not only is this a f&%$#@ up solution, but it adds to the trillion dollar debt as well as devaluing of the dollar. The effect of printing more and more money is tax hikes, volatility and uncertain market conditions.

"If you like it then you should of..........."

Is putting a ring on it a great decision? It depends on who's finger the ring is being mounted on. I often think of how women are, you know considering their emotions and intuitions and all...lol. The question is, do women act better when they are married versus when they're single? If the answer is no then you are probably divorced.

"The Dinner Party"

A dinner party is a great way to have fun with friends or family. Fun is a definite, the only thing to decide is, who will host this festive evening?
