It is a recession, people! Why, oh why, are the carrels distributing impractical wrap dresses, gag gifts and zipper bags booming in Faneuil Hall while the average American struggles to make ends meet? Why must my commute home be polluted with the noise of, "It's a zipper!!" (not to be confused with this) Really?
But the most egregious offender of the 'crap that should be neither sold nor bought during a recessionary period (or ever really)' is the newest addition to the Ultimate Tourist Shopping Center: Michal Negrin. The hideous combination of flowers, Victorian prints and little naked plastic baby figurines is vomit-licious and it's blatant, yet misguided allusions to Michelangelo's art must have the poor genius more post-mortem upset than the Ninja Turtles even did. I have to avert my eyes away from the scary images on display in the shop's window and seriously question the emotional stability of those browsing the racks.
For those of you who are unaware of what I'm talking about, please see:
- Example A (AHHHH!)
- Example B (at the cheap, cheap price of $866)
- Example C (What kind of pre-pubescent baby having baby thing is she promoting?!)
It's enough to make a girl long for the simplistic hideousness of a unflattering wrap dress.
