Nurse Your Recessionary Wounds with Candy
cityfile · 12/04/08 08:21AMDylan Lauren stands to inherit a vast fortune, but if you were concerned that her candy emporium would be upended by the recession and declining demand for $4 lollipops, Dylan isn't at all worried that's not going to happen. "I am in a great recession-proof business, since candy is the ultimate indulgence for little cost," she tells Vanity Fair. Dylan—seen here posing next to a giant Swedish Fish—also says that if you're looking to pick her up a Hanukkah present, "a gift certificate for tennis lessons, kick-boxing lessons, or massages" would do just fine.
