Luck Be a Lady Tonight
Atlantic City may not seem like a fashion capital of the world, but it can be when the casinos are paying out big-time! I found myself in A.C. over the weekend for a concert at the new House of Blues, and I couldn’t resist the siren call – ding!-ding!-ding!-ding!-ding! – of the slot machines in the casino. I sat down at a black jack table around midnight, and three hours later, I got up (yeah, like The Gambler, I’ve learned when to walk away) with a couple hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket. That’s, what, half a pair of Manolos? Maybe even a whole pair during Last Call, which starts this week… and at the Neiman’s at Short Hills in New Jersey, where there’s no sales tax on clothes and shoes! See, it all comes together in New Jersey, the new Fashion State. You’ve heard of losing your shirt at a casino, right? Well, how about earning your shoes? So if you start seeing a pack of fashionistas on the midnight bus from New York to A.C. every Friday, you’ll know whom to blame/thank!
