another dispatch from tacky shopping nightmares

For $200, I expect the zebra print to be on the front AND the back. This really doesn't look zebra-ish to me. More like someone drew some hurried lines in a rush to get the fabric out the door. But in the words of one happy customer, you will look "straight out of Rodeo Drive!"

Remember the bizarre furry handbag of doom? This scarf goes with it. I can't even think of some snarky slam for this - it is just too weird looking. I like fur, but this stuff is makes me think of a Project Runway challenge gone dreadfully wrong. This jacket is what Keith the Fringe Happy would have made and Tim Gunn would have frowned in that very distressed way.

If you don't like the fringe, you can always get lady-like rosettes of rabbit fur on your handbag. It comes in pink, to go with your furry vest. Though I prefer the purple. That poor model has an expression that cries out "Kill me now, please kill me now before I have to wear any more of these outfits."

why are the names in quotes?

Is it just me, or does this hotel review make it sound like the front desk staff are sex workers?

With the myriad properties in BWI's "Hotel District", I was more than pleasantly surprised to find the "down home feel" and exquisite service of this property. The front desk staff was exceptional...especially "India", "Kaycee", and "John". They made my stay one of the "best seen to date". Kudos to them and this property. Room 215, while nice, is unacceptably noisy... like a sump pump running all the time. Breakfast was wonderful. I don't believe you'll find more "bang for your buck" than at this property. Don't deprive yourself...experience the place AND front staff for yourself!
