With digital cameras improving so fast and getting so cheap, so could...
...human figure. He called it the Ex. "It was cathartic," he says. Others apparently think so too; it now comes in six different colors, retails for $120 and is one of the firm's top sellers. Schmidt's online breakup boutique sells mugs that say things like BOO FRICKIN' HOO and books like How to Tell If Your Boyfriend Is the Antichrist. "Why take life so seriously?" she asks...
