i WAS gonna write about margene coming home (which is great! she is best ever!) or maybe about going to the hermes christmas cocktail party and drinking champagne and watching hilarious french slight-of-hand magicians...
but then i remembered this add. that i have been seeing around town. in all the bus shelters. and. well. i'm not a fan.
okay. there are a lot of reasons why i'm not a fan... you know. what with me thinking that it's important to be able to be alone with yourself, and happy with oneself, and independent and blah blah. but.
what about the idea that you should probably propose to the person you're with... because... you know... regardless of how you FEEL about them... being alone sucks. so. don't let that happen. get married instead.
weddings like, say, chris-and-janice-best-times and josee-and-adam-wonderment-joytown... those weddings have really made me think about what it looks like when it is RIGHT. (emma-and-charlie-soon-too...) and. well. i hate to think of all the wrong that comes from this ad's mindset. heavy sighs.
geeze guys. geeze. spence diamonds? you're a jerk-wad.

i just learned alot about spence diamonds
It is shocking, sometimes, how much poison abounds in advertising. Often/especially things like this (or, say, the Axe ads...) that have a front of being "tongue-in-cheek" but in the end, depend on deep set, toxic societal assumptions. (See, battered wives? You've got it good! It suckst to be alone! You'd probably crumble...) Gross. But good that we can notice and choose to filter out. Both the message and the products... .
