Garments with a nipped-in waist and just enough drape to create an elegant rather than a super-snug shaping are superior wardrobe staples. Pop princess Beyoncй gets this look just right, but Rosie O’Donnell gets it all wrong. O’Donnell, seemingly in an effort to hide her heft, wears clothes that are too large for her, and they make her look bigger. Finding clothes with a precise fit is something of an art. Even the most svelte celebs err in this area.

Amore. Italian for love. A word crooned by Dean Martin and cooed by romantics. “You say amore anywhere in the world and people know what it means,” Robert Amore said. A little more than a year ago, Amore was sitting in Italy considering his surname. A person should take advantage of a name like that, he thought. It should be attached to a product of some sort.

Unless you own stock in SAP and Oracle, you can skim the headlines and learn what you need to know about most of these deals. Really, I m a bit contemptuous of the SAP vs. Oracle dramatics.

“I think they may have saved my store,” Karty said. Thank goodness for kids’ fanciful fads. Cabbage Patch Kids are so 1984. The Beanie Baby craze has to be at least a decade old now.
