The sooner some elements of the fashion industry will admit that most of their work is based on making others feel inadequate, the better off they will be. Because in any other situation, people like that would be called “fucking shitwipe assholes.”
I’m with you, but fashion is by no means the only industry that pushes this message. Add in roughly equal percentages of the beauty, financial, food/alcohol and parent (parenting-related products) industries too. — and of course the entire advertising industry that pushes these messages on you.
You only need luxury goods if you believe you are not good/whole/worthwhile without them.

From my friend Jessica on Facebook:
You know what’s not awesome? Ordering from Yo Sushi on 2nd Ave and getting my delivery and taking the container of soy sauce out in anticipation of some delicious sashimi and…finding mouse droppings on it. That’s right, there was mouse crap in my sushi bag.
I can’t decide if I’m glad to know about this or angry that I can no longer order from my favorite quick delivery joint.

[via New Yorker photographer Landon Nordeman]
Does that mean WCBS TV, Channel 2 in New York City — whose microwave truck is parked on the street, next to Murdoch — totally missed an exclusive interview?
WCBS TV REPORTER: Rupert, can we ask for your thoughts on the peacock?
MURDOCH: I’m sure it’s the most humble day of his life.
REPORTER: What?
MURDOCH: I had no knowledge that he was going to escape and land on that ledge.
REPORTER: Um, that’s not what we were asking —
MURDOCH: I’d like to attach a camera to that bird.
REPORTER: Why?
MURDOCH: It’d make a perfect television network.
REPOTER: What?
MURDOCH: I’d call it “Bird Sky Bird.” (Beat.) Get it?
REPORTER: Wakka wakka.
Sorry Rupert, the Peacock network will not be yours!!](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpgte7XgWf1qzs5cqo1_500.jpg)
