Something to Think About

This is the window at the James Perse store on Bleecker Street. If you can't make it out, it reads "Live Simply. Give More. Expect Less." Hmmmm.

Now, don't get me wrong- I love James Perse. If I could afford it, I would own about a hundred pairs of those pajama bottoms. But at 90$ a pop, they are a little rich for my blood. Isn't there something a tad grating about a message exhorting people to selflessness being posted in the window of a store that sells very expensive versions of the most basic items of clothing? It's not the message I object to, I guess. It's the messenger.
