I wonder what, exactly, you'd expect an objective source to say about the essence of love. "It's everything except that red rose parfum crap. Man that stuff stinks. Ignore Ashley, it's just the crack talking."
@lafleur: OH no! I was just making that up to make a joke on the insane sizing in the high-end industry! I don't know what sizes really are available. Sorry for confusion....
That "Don't Shop" ad is one of the most out-of-touch, misguided, and poorly filmed things I've ever seen. And at 6 minutes, it's unbelievably self-indulgent. Are people really so clueless that they don't understand consumers are cutting back on shopping because they are a) losing their jobs and hard up for money or b) finally learning (or being forced) to live within their means? Plus, comparing shopping to voting is ridiculous.
Also, it sounds like it was filmed in my bathroom.
well i'm never, EVER going into an Ulta again because when i asked the salesperson if the store near me carried this truly awesome foundation i had bought at sephora in new york (oh how i wish i had the money for it now... wet n' wild, how you make my face break out) she scoffed at me and sniggered, "no, i believe you're going to have to keep going to QVC for that."
i'm like, excuse me!? first of all, what is wrong with you, i'm supposed to feel welcome and want to buy things, that's what retail is all about and second of all... WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH QVC?
I'm not really sure if Alicia actually meant what I think she does, but if she means that people shouldn't buy junk unless they actually need it, that's pretty cool. She's pretty environmentalisty; I like when people advocate minimalizing for the sake of the environment rather than just changing what it is one consumes and not how much.
They need to just open up a Real Housewives store. Nene can sell her shoes, Kim can sell her CDs, Sheree can sell her clothes, the entire NYC cast can sell their books, Bethenney will sell cupcakes, Jill will sell fabric, Vicki will sell insurance, Ramona and Lauri's daughter will sell skin care products, Ramona for an inexplicable reason will also sell crosses, that one guy will sell energy drinks and Danielle will sell herself.
@KelseyElle: I would totally shop there. Do you know how effing hard it was to find Bethenny's baked goods in Manhattan? MAN. HAT. TAN. Ridamndiculous and I still want a cupcake.
@hellosunshine: Do you remember the episode where she is standing in some supermarket in the burbs trying to hand out free cup cakes but no one cares? This store would be the opposite of that.
Paris's museum is good but it's nothing on my personal favourite - Moscow has a museum of forgotten objects - that is a museum filled with things so obscure that no one knows what their purpose was these days - once someone can identify what they were used for they leave the museum.
@emilyanne: Have you been to the adventure in metaphysical museology that is the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Culver City? It sounds like the Russian museum should be its cousin.
