Not sure why you'd want to wallow in that other than the fact that your relatives do, so its unavoidable at some social level. Certainly you wouldn't hang out with anyone who shopped for tchotchkies in a mall-like setting, open air or highrise.<BR/><BR/>Then your kid comes back because the ten dollars you gave them went into Gauntlet or Darius (I'm dating myself here) and and the kid is thirsty, because the mall is bone dry, so he goes to Orange Julius, but the blender just broke. <BR/><BR/>In the ensuing crying fit you wonder if it might be better if the kid came from a broken home, because you never wanted kids anyway. They cost as much as a Ferarri or more likely a Corvette.<BR/><BR/>Summertime is here.zipthwunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761727194113640578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-60281245933928745092007-05-16T02:04:00.000-04:002007-05-16T02:04:00.000-04:00Juvenile Alpha-bits...sterling ruby, can't seem to...Juvenile Alpha-bits...<BR/><BR/>sterling ruby, can't seem to find enough online to form a good opinion..is there a good website to go to? reminds me of Polke so far.poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18280898172985845386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-42329162517613095082007-05-16T00:00:00.000-04:002007-05-16T00:00:00.000-04:00My thing about Yes and the kids on the bus had a p...My thing about Yes and the kids on the bus had a point too.

My advice Ted is don’t go there, but if you have, don’t tell us.<BR/>Is it that sweet spot awaiting product placement? The perfect fantasyland where everything tastes yummy, sparkling or fizzy? <BR/>It’s an interesting subject, I suppose, but I wonder if the work can really talk about it, rather than just participate in it? Perhaps the small scale (relatively) is one way of distinguishing the thing from just product. Maybe a gallery context would sharpen it. Actually I can imagine them going really well with the full theatrical treatment – low lights, black carpet, etc. <BR/>Ted needs more VM, not less!<BR/>I’ve often thought installation was uncomfortably similar to VM. My conversations with dressers only confirmed this: they got stuff like Rhoades, right off! Cady was right there for them – Hirschhorn was bretheren, but they wondered whether that stuff wasn’t too esoteric for the rest of the populace.<BR/>They would definitely dig Mineo, but would he be too little or too much?CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-88660049598914156172007-05-15T20:25:00.000-04:002007-05-15T20:25:00.000-04:00Confessions of an arfterdinnermintfreak: where a s...Confessions of an arfterdinnermintfreak: <A HREF="http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0162-2870%28198824%2947%3C91%3ATGOSPF%3E2.0.CO%3B2-H&size=SMALL&origin=JSTOR-reducePage" REL="nofollow"><B>where a six-pack of thin mints still wouldn't do the job</B></A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-89240481508372469132007-05-15T19:27:00.000-04:002007-05-15T19:27:00.000-04:00I'm thinking of starting a Guided By Voices cover ...I'm thinking of starting a <I>Guided By Voices</I> cover band called <B>Too Small For The Mall</B>CAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861096695503969576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-31846546171526561282007-05-15T19:04:00.000-04:002007-05-15T19:04:00.000-04:00Do we have a fear of excess here on PainNYC?
