Recession’s Confession

Each season glows with economic woes, political scandal, and work-related misfortune. After-hours cocktails and daydreaming about one who captures your inner desire makes it all worthwhile. This fall, look your best through it all, and appreciate the stares and whispers from one co-worker, lover, and hater at a time.
