[Photos: Highlands; Laren Spirer] In my mid-20's, I used to think all Scotch was the same. It was something that old men drank, and something that my male friends were "learning to drink." Every time I tasted it, all...

Beginning with some brief reviews... 1. Pal Joey (starring Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth) Great old-time sing-along, though thoroughly unrealistic - that dame gives in to Joey's charm far too easy, but I guess that's why the lady is a tramp. 2.

The good news is that there are a few products which can truly be deemed 'recession proof', and one that is a legendary morale booster... lipstick!
