If you have any scrap jewelry lying around, you should consider selling it to one of the many gold buyers out there. There are a number of companies that do nothing but purchase unwanted or damaged jewelry from people all over. The price of gold has skyrocketed to over one thousand Canadian dollars over the past couple years!

I had the pleasure of finding this bracelet at a pawn shop, near Atlantic City, NJ. It is hinged, and is made of silver (or silvertone or stainless steel) with 10 gold (or brass) screw heads in it. It is oval shaped, instead of being round.

You know how going green guides recommend shopping at second hand stores for gently used items? It may be good for the earth, but bad for your credit...

Here's a word to the wise: Think twice before whipping out that credit card to pay for purchases at the Salvation Army or a discount store, have tires re-treaded or even buy a late-night round of drinks.

I like this all black look because the textures of the blacks are so nice. The black cowboy boots are authentic ones and have a dramatic look and the leather is very high quality and shiny with lots of texture. The black jeans have lots of texture and are almost gray so that the black top doesn't match too much.

A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this.
Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest.. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie.

EVER since Mary Todd Lincoln overshot the White House decorating budget by $6,700 (a third of her $20,000 appropriation), infuriating her husband and delighting a press corps that had already turned against her, the redecoration of the president’s house has been a public relations minefield. Some new administrations tiptoe through it unscathed; others are less nimble, and bombs explode.
“It’s an old maxim that you can build a billion-dollar highway that’s the biggest pork barrel in the world and no one will say anything,” said William Seale, a White House historian, “but if you’re in public office and you try and change your desk, you’re going to end up on the front page.

One in four workers admits to making up excuses for arriving late.

black cowboy boots bought at pawn shop
scarf is from h&m
The rest is botique stuff
I'm not so sure about this look. Thigh highs are a little tight around thigh? I feel trampy, or am I just not used to this look?

Sorry for the copying & pasting but I nearly fell over after reading this on perezhilton.com.
"Two teens, 18-year-old Melvin Blevins and 16-year old Angel Dailey have been charged with corrupting/endangering a child in Pataskala, Ohio, after police say they forced a toddler (age 2!!!) to smoke pot and videotaped the whole thing.
Authorities learned of the tape after a Columbus, Ohio, pawn shop dealer found it in a camcorder.
