Twitter Action @msshoebizness
by JULIA
Just to remind you….I go through my twitter feed and choose the feeds that stand out the most, post them here and then choose my favorite for the day. Also, keep in mind that I have summerized the “tweets” in my own words so you have to click on the brand/person to see all of their action!! I have decided to only choose 10 a day because if not, I would be surfing Twitter all day!! Wow-choosing a winner yesterday was even tougher…

If you were a child/teenager of the 80’s you know the Member’s Only jacket was a staple of the cool kid’s wardrobe. I remember mine…it was pale pink and I was in love with it!
