Ok I am really mad at the person who responded on some Answers.com type website to the question: "How to get a pen mark off of leather" with "Spray it with hairspray," as that did not work -- at all -- and now there is a giant darker stained circle surrounding the pen mark.
Last time I trust the Internet for answers.
And yes, this is the type of stuff I decide to do/look up when I am on deadline.
