I hate advertising

On my way to work this morning, I walked through what I assume was a commercial set, and it was really great: they blocked off the whole block of bond st between broadway and lafayette and filled it with cabs, and there was this beautiful enormous blown out model jumping from hood to hood. The most ridiculous part was that you just know it's a commercial for, like, mascara or something.

Gotta look good when you're pullin' off some righteous stunts.

Actually, in general, fashion is a core component of how one projects identity, so like, maybe wearing the mascara isn't going to turn anyone into Batman or the Punisher or whoever the fuck, but the idea is probably, "hey, I look kick ass in this shit" which makes that brand of mascara better than like, I don't know, a Duane Reade excretion or something.

Also I am full of shit.
