Recessionista, Depressionista, and Frugalista

November 23rd, 2008

Recessionista, Depressionista, and now Frugalista – where in the word will it end? William Safire, in his November 23, 2008 New York Times Magazine column, has picked Frugalista as his choice for word of the year: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23wwln-safire-t.html

Here are some additonal choices:

Neimanista – one who frequents Neiman Marcus

Jeanista – owner of too many jeans

Jewelista – after all, diamonds are a girls best friend

Shoeista – “She who dies with the most stilletos wins,” Nina Garcia, The One Hundred

Fashionista’s know you can be super stylish even in trying times by mixing expensive and cheaper pieces, checking out designers second lines, remembering that debt is never stylish, and you will live without “fill in the blank.”
