"2009-06-22T00:00:00"^^ . "Reading the awesome Lisa C.'s reviews from her recent trip to AZ has inspired me to review what I think might be the country's most hedonistically comprehensive shopping mall, Fashion Square in Scottsdale.* \n\nThis mall is floor after floor of retail therapy just waiting to drain your wallet and sense of social responsibility. With everything from Abercrombie to Williams-Sonoma, both the lower-end as well as ultra-spendy-designers are represented at FS Scottsdale.\n\nJimmy Choo, countered by Wet Seal\nGucci, countered by Hot Topic\nLouis Vuitton, countered by Limited\nCarolina Herrera, countered by Charlotte Russe\nCartier, countered by Sunglass Hut\nKate Spade, countered by Claire's\n\nFashion Square also boasts five, yes FIVE department stores:\nNordstrom\nMacy's\nDillard's\nNeiman Marcus\nBarney's (opening Summer/Fall 2009)\n\nMy personal favorites:\nEverything But Water.\nHands-down the most fabulous swimwear store I have had the pleasure of feeling physically inadequate in. Everything from the fashion-only to the practical tankini.\n\nElectric Ladyland.\nThis is where the Rock of Love set shops. Everything rhinestones and glitter, skull-and-bones and rocker-cutesiness, utilizing the bare minimum of actual fabric. I love coming here and endlessly fingerfucking the insanely marked-up merchandise.\n\nFor Love 21.\nThe accessories branch of the \"Forever 21\" chain. You can find some pretty good fashion jewelry here. Cheap. Really cheap. So when you lose your earring on the floor of some stranger's soundproofed, shag-carpeted van after partying it up in Old Town...you'll still have money leftover to fill your antibiotic prescription.\n\nBONUS!\nBest Game to Play at Fashion Square Scottsdale: \"Which one is the mom?\" Think carefully before you decide. The amount of sun, regional interpretations of age-appropriate fashion, and disproportionate amount of plastic surgery can make this trickier than you think. \n\n--------------\n*This does not extend to their strangely incongruous food court. Sbarro and Panda Express? Shame on you, Fashion Square!"^^ . . . "5"^^ . "9"^^ . "7"^^ . . "16"^^ .
