Once synonymous with the golden age of travel, flight attendant uniforms have changed a lot over the years–but are the skies ready for this?

This year may well be remembered as the Year of the Cutback. In art, entertainment, travel, footwear and many other goods and services industries, suppliers have curtailed, stripped down and (in some cases) downright cheapened their respective offerings as a first line of defense against the Great Recession.

That’s why it was so refreshing to see U2 go over the top on its recent tour stop at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
