What is claimed is: 1. A pinch clip garment hanger comprising: a first jaw member; a second jaw member, pivotally secured to the first jaw member; wherein the first jaw member comprises: a modular friction pad; a receiving portion that houses the modular friction pad, the receiving portion comprising at least one latch; and a securing device releasably coupled to the modular friction pad, wherein the securing device comprises a securing ring, the securing ring being operable to engage the at least one latch and secure the modular friction pad to the receiving portion. 2. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 1, wherein the friction pad is rubberized and comprises a contact surface and a non-contact surface, the contact surface disposed for contacting with a garment, the non-contact surface being the opposing side to the contact surface. 3. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 2, wherein the rubberized friction pad comprises ledges extending from the non-contact surface. 4. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 3, wherein the ledges are operable to retain the rubberized friction pad between the securing device and the receiving portion. 5. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 4 wherein the contact surface of the rubberized friction pad protrudes beyond the securing device. 6. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 1, wherein the second jaw member comprises: a rubberized friction pad; a second receiving portion that houses the rubberized friction pad; and a securing device operable to secure the rubberized friction pad to the second receiving portion. 7. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 1, wherein the second jaw member comprises a set of teeth. 8. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 7, wherein each tooth has a triangular profile. 9. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 8, wherein each tooth is separated from the adjacent tooth by a toothless portion. 10. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 9, wherein the leading edges of the first set of teeth are collectively in tapered relation from top to bottom. 11. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 1, wherein the receiving portion includes a guide portion for retaining the modular friction pad on the receiving portion. 12. A pinch clip garment hanger according to 11, wherein the second jaw member comprises a set of teeth. 13. A pinch clip garment hanger according to claim 1, wherein the second jaw member comprises: a second modular friction pad; a second receiving portion that houses the second modular friction pad, the second receiving portion including a guide portion for retaining the second modular friction pad on the second receiving portion. 14. A method for assembling a modular jaw member of a pinch clip garment hanger, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first jaw member having a receiving portion, the receiving portion comprising at least one latch; providing a second jaw member; pivotally securing the first jaw member to the second jaw member; mounting a securing device to a modular friction pad, the securing device comprising a securing ring; seating the modular friction pad in the receiving portion; and engaging the securing ring with the at least one latch to removably secure the modular friction pad to the receiving portion. 15. A method according to claim 14, further comprising engaging the modular friction pad with a guide portion integral to the receiving portion.
