The Stuntin’ Tax

It just got a little more expensive to stunt in New York state.

Governor David Paterson is suggesting an additional five percent tax on all luxury goods over $20,000. The tax would apply to items like fur coats, jewelry and the Hermes Birkin bag.

You may be thinking, “who cares about tax on a $34,000 bag or a $25,000 watch?” Well, New York state residents keeping it extra flashy will also be hit. The governor also wants to end the tax exemption on clothing and shoes under $110.

Pussycat Dolls Lingerie Line

The Pussycat Dolls are getting ready to launch their own lingerie line Shhh by Robin Antin (Pussycat Dolls creator) that will be sold at Bebe stores, Fred Segal, and the La Senza lingerie chain in Canada and the U.K.

The lingerie not only includes the animal print cliché designs, but also rock ‘n roll styles and frills. The line, according to Antin, was designed “specifically for women to feel empowered, strong, feminine, sexy and a little naughty it they’re feeling it.”

Let’s just remember that it’s lingerie not a miracle worker. Clothing can enhance, not create.
