It’s beginning to look a lot like Crystmas

It’s that time of year again at Crystals, the place America shops when it has a sudden impulse to buy a Pucci handbag or some Balenciaga shoes. This month, The Island of Misfit Shops promises three new retailers (Stella McCartney, Donna Karan and Harry Winston) plus “a rockin’ string quartet [Phat Strad] and a vivacious choir” to enhance your high-end retail experience. The “choir” is actually just four singers … another symptom of newfound frugality on the Strip.
