thriftalina's favorite thrifty websites: Life of a Shopaholic

I often get asked about "where do I find all these deals and freebies?" It definitely takes some time at first to find the best sites to look on, but the secret is to sign up for the sites email newsletters so that the deals come to you! It can be overwhelming in your inbox so I recommend using a filter on your email ...to keep your personal messages sorted. The reason you want to do this rather than use a different address is because some sites give you "email clicking bonuses" that you will get from checking out particular messages, or in some cases you will need to use the same email that you use for online purchasing, but more on those types of sites soon...
Anyway I wanted to start off 2010 by sharing my most valuable sites with you! First is truly for what I call "Luxury Thrifting": Life of a Shopaholic! Did you ever wish you knew about all the BEST fashion sales on the internet BEFORE everything is sold out? Just sign up to get LOAS email and their daily message will let you know when, and where online super sales are happening. And it's also a great resource to find NEW sites to shop on! (as if we neeeeed that! ;))
So you know you got some gift cards you want to get the most for less so check Life of a Shopaholic first!

Margaret Cho, I never thought this day would come!

I have been a fan of the amazingly hilarious and talented and BEAUTIFUL Margaret Cho since I was in high school! That makes me feel a bit old, but it also reminds me that I never thought this day, TODAY would ever come! because you see, TODAY I can say "I am going to go see Margaret Cho tonight!" and it will for once mean that Im not watching her on DVD!

Im not too sure what she will have in store for us in Albany, but I do know she has her guitar in tow so it will be a new show format for most of us to see her, but I have no worries whatsoever that she will be kicking ass, NAMING names, and making me LAUGH OUT LOUD! YAY!
Here is a promo video for Margaret's most recent DVD release "Beautiful"

Don't forget to check out Margaret's blog HERE and her twitter feed @margaretcho

Power Bitch, Project Runway 6, and The Self Taught Revolution! (spoiler)

Why didn't anyone tell me that my favorite Power Bitch Kelly Cutrone was promoting her upcoming Bravo show (!?!?!) by doing these awesome clips on BlueFly's Youtube page?!



and I waited to just make sure it wasnt a fluke, but did ANYONE ELSE NOTICE that a SELF-TAUGHT designer (who didnt even know what ruching was!) WON the first challenge on Project Runway 6??! Yep, meet Christopher Straub:



I am telling you now, don't ever doubt the autodidacts! I am placing a bet that he will make it far in this season...but because we are only 2 episodes in, I'm not calling anyone as a winner just yet...
So if you are as obsessed with Project Runway as me, then please show some love to my favorite PR blogs: Blogging Project Runway and Project Rungay (and let me just warn you, those sites are as addictive as the show itself!)
So has anyone caught the new season of Project Runway yet????

Beware, Criminal

Thank you for making this documentary
