A Merry Christmas, Indeed
On the drive home tonight I was listening to the radio. In between the latest song from the hottest new alternative boy band (they all sound the same) and the traffic report which is NEVER accurate I hear a bunch of commercials.
One that stood out for me was a commercial for the Shane Company. They're famous for their low-budget sounding commercials that lure you in to thinking that they're a local company, when in fact, they are a major national chain (tricky marketing at it's finest).
The "joe on the street" starts off by complaining about his wife's overflowing jewelry box and that he needs a great gift for Christmast. The Shane Comany stooge starts in about Tahitian pearls - a lovely gem if I do say so myself. He mentions their luster, their brilliance, their style and then drops the price tag for a strand - a mere $3500. I think to myself, "wow, mentioning a price tag that high is pretty gutsy," and then he starts in about the matching pieces they have and drops another price tag, "for $700 you can get the matching bracelet. She'll have a very memorable Christmas."
Drop $4200 bones on nacer-covered plastic beads? Fuck yeah it would be a memorable Christmas.
Watch your mouth there, potty-blogger.

Yeah like THAT will ever happen! lol And if it did, WHERE would I wear them? I know, as I clean up after 6 kids, I can wear them - scrubbing the tub. LOL
I rather have a 2 week vacation anywhere I'm waited on hand and foot!
