FORGET THE "IT" BAG OR THE "IT" GIRL. THE NEW "IT" IS NOT HAVING "IT" AT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN.

Michael Jackson, Then and Now
Read this great story on Michael Jackson from a 1984 issue of TIME. At the time this was written, MJ was in the height of his career and it's amazing to read just how internationally huge he was and still is.
After losing my PR job at the luxury brand HOLLYWOULD at the end of 2008, I found myself jobless during the worst-possible economy. I went from fashionista to recessionista. My world of fashion shows and red carpet events was over. I traded in my cocktail dresses for my pajamas and champagne for coffee as I spent months searching for my next great job. During an unsuccessful job search, I started the Red Carpet Recessionista blog to follow my adventures in funemployment. I found a way to glamorize unemployment through budget-friendly activities, sample sales, free food and drinks. I was even featured in French ELLE for my take on funemployment. After a six-month job search, I am finally back in the working world. Sticking to true recessionista form, I am working for designer-online sale-mecca Gilt Groupe. Thank you to everyone who supported my blog, and keep reading as the Red Carpet Recessionista continues to strut in her sky-high-sale-priced-stilettos. Email me: annalise.ghiz@gmail.com
