A tiny break from our regular programming: Please join us in taking some time to help out with Haiti's earthquake disaster relief. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives and many more are in dire need of medical care, shelter, and basic necessities. There are many charities available to help deliver your money and resources as efficiently as possible. But here are our top options for the day:
Fashion Delivers
