MARY KATE LOVES THE RECESSION

Even though thousands more get laid off every day because of the global financial crisis, that doesn’t mean there’s not some good economic news.  For example, Mary Kate found a darling new hat!

A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. "It's really sad – the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales," said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. "That's where I got this! The recession!" Olsen ogled a $410 menorah and pillows and throws for her bed, but didn't buy them.

So apparently this is the only bitch on earth immune from the economy falling apart.  Even drug dealers and prostitutes are lowering their rates.  Although it's still illegal to pay woman for sex.  But you know what’s not illegal?  "Prize money".  Yaay, you did it, you gave me head in a car, you’re tonight’s big winner, here’s $50!
