On The Gilt Groupe: Online Discount ADHD Man-Cape Speed-Shopping

Gilt = eBay + Great Recession Schadenfreude

Conspicous consumption is bad; closeted, good.

What always amazes me is the skorts (and, yes, capes) that are sold-out ASAP. Are they Trojan Unicorns?

I've made one purchase in a year: a Marc Jacobs tux. For about the price of a rental.

BTW: The waitlist is how I got said tux. WAIT for it to sellout if you're on the fence. Delayed gratification is the new instant gratification.

Site is shaping up nicely, BTW.
