Happy Holidays

I really should have been a socialist. Society has intrigued me for years, all this time I just thought I was nosey. My most recent foray into popular culture and why certain things exist at all is studying commerce and how corporations attempt to get our hard earn scratch. The retail giants of New York pride themselves on their windows. Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Sacks and Macy’s holiday windows show everything from Vaudeville scenes to scenes from literature to blatant cross marketing/product placement with current movies of the season. I understand the role of marketing in a capitalist society, I just don’t like to be “marketed down to” (last image, work from Bansky).
