I was thinking sex toys but after a discussion with Meg, wedding dresses are the same way.

I wanted something simple and stainless steel (or maybe glass).  Something without a face or woodland creature.  How much does it cost?  Almost $200.  Meanwhile, if you wanted to go the woodland creature with a face route, it could be as low as $20.  WTF.

I remember several friends’ dilemmas when it came to wedding dress shopping. Something with scads of lace and frills, something that looks like the craft store threw up on it (minus the glitter), is super cheap.  For some strange reason simple dresses only come from fancy designers like Vera Wang and will cost you your first born child.

…and while I am on my soapbox,  I will add organic food, natural fiber clothing, light/plumbing fixtures, and sleek/sexy electronics.
