new money
Ironically, my first thought upon receiving the new five dollar bill with its eggplant hued frippery was, "Is this counterfeit?"

About Me
- alison
- I am a vivacious person with effervescent thoughts and bubbly feelings, which I used to save for my diary and therapist before realizing I could share them with a million strangers, unless of course we've met before in which case remember that time we were at that place and then I did that thing? Sorry about that... Also I'm a writer, pop culture analyst/expert and regular TV guest. Care to be impressed by my credentials? Well then, from 2005—2008 I did Best Bets with Alison Rosen, a segment on WNBC's Weekend Today in New York show. I've appeared on Montel, Chelsea Lately, Hannity & Colmes, Fox & Friends and a bunch more and I'm a regular commentator on Fox News Channel's Red Eye. I wrote for the Los Angeles Times when I was 18. I'm a former Time Out New York editor. I'm a contributing editor for Page Six Magazine. I've written for a zillion publications including Rolling Stone, Maxim, Spin, People, Village Voice, New York Press, Nerve, Seventeen, Vibe, Seattle Weekly, Minneapolis City Pages, OC Weekly and Page Six Magazine. I used to play guitar in a punk band. I have naturally black hair. I won NY's Funniest Reporter competition.

They take some getting used to. I was hoping they'd put Jimmy Carter on the new $5 bills. Lincoln's been dead for several years now - let's move on. :o)
I haven't seen this new frippery money of which you speak!
Word of the day - Frippery: something showy, frivolous, something foolish or affectedly elegant
I almost never use cash. For the longest time I'd do double takes when I handled money thinking there was coolaid or something spilled on my cash.
Oh I know this money. It's like a Canadianized version. The first time I ever went to Canada. I traded some money in. I thought the guy was giving me fake money. same thing happened with this. I'll take old bills thank you. I'd marry old money if it were legal. And I'd move to a Bogart movie and wear a fedora.
