shopping / News A martini with your holiday purchase?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Holiday shopping can be a chore. Scratch that: Holiday shopping is a chore. Trying to find parking, sidestepping screaming kids in the aisles, and standing 20 minutes in a long line to purchase one item while the person at the front of the line has an argument with the cashier over a return — doesn't it sound like one big headache?

Food / shopping / News $1,000 martini
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Thu, Nov 20, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Martinis and diamonds. Two of a woman's favorite words.
Get them both at The Capital Grille when you buy their $1,000 martini. The drink will come garnished with more than a cherry. With it, you will get a White Topaz and Diamond Caviar Rope Bracelet designed by acclaimed designer Stephen Lagos. You don't have to feel guilty for spending one grand on a martini though -- 100% of the profits from the lavish martini will benefit Share Our Strength, a non-profit leader in the flight to end childhood hunger in America.
The bracelet is touted as a "limited edition" item created exclusively for the restaurant and will only be available Nov. 24 - Jan.3.
But if you like the bracelet, don't care about charity and/or don't want to spend $1,000 for the bracelet, just hop on over to Nordstrom and pick up a similar bracelet for only $675. This Lagos bracelet is the same design as the Charity Martini one, but it just doesn't have the two side diamonds...but it's hardly noticeable!
If you want the $1,000 martini, go to The Capital Grille located at:
201 N Tryon St # 1000
Charlotte, NC 28202
(704) 348-1400
If you just want the bracelet without the booze, go to Nordstrom located at:
SouthPark Mall
4400 Sharon Road, Suite 500
Charlotte, NC 28211
(704) 442-6000

shopping / News Oprah's online store opens
Posted By Web Editor on Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Items sold at The Oprah Store in Chicago can now be found online at TheOprahStore.com. I was hoping to find some neat items, cool gifts, and nifty inventions at the online store, but the Oprah Store is filled with crap that no one would want unless their name starts with the letter "O."
Why would anyone want mugs with Oprah's signature "O" on it? Or a magnet with the Oprah Winfrey show logo on it? How about a pewter "O" ornament for your Christmas tree this year? "O" printed luggage tags anyone? Monogrammed "O" socks? Anyone? Anyone??
- Photos from oprahstore.oprah.com
I guess if your name is Oliva, Olga, Oliver, or Othello, you might be excited about the store.
You can also buy some fugly clothes (which are only appropriate to wear for running errands), Oprah DVDs and transcripts on the site.
Uh...I think I'll pass. Thanks.
