New Year's Help: Cowboys, Cowgirls

If your New Year's Resoltion is to look more like a cowboy or cowgirl, then you should seriously consider some serious boots:

Lucchese boots are handmade in Texas and are as comfortable as cowboy boots can be. When you put them on, it's like putting on goatskin gloves for the first time. You never knew something so sturdy could be so comfortable!

Lucchese - oh, by the way? Some of these boots are plain ridiculous in price/appearance. They're for Texan tombs so that Oil Emporers and Empresses can have footwear in the Astral Plain. Enjoy!

New York Feels New Kind of Pain

What's going on? Rampant quoting of Los Angelinos speaking the harsh truth of New York, at least from the perspective of those who do not know the ins-and-outs of how to shop here:

“We have lots of these stores in L.A.,” Ms. Bandaryan said. “We just wanted something new.”

New York Pobrecita! Tough medicine and at the worst time, no doubt. Does L.A. have tax-free clothing shopping on items under $100 dollars that are not accessories or shoes? I don't think so, please let me know if I'm wrong.
