Eclectic Eccentricity

If you had a doll house when you were a little girl (or boy), you will love Eclectic Eccentricity jewelry! These unusual trinket combos are cute as can be!

My favorite is this sewing machine! I actually had (have?) this EXACT same sewing machine for my doll house people!

Saks, in the USSA

Oh boy, another sign of the times…Saks Fifth Avenue tapped into the zeitgeist here in America, socialist and communist associations and policies are becoming increasingly, chic, so it seems. All the meanwhile nails are being hammered into the coffin of capitalism, the very system that has allowed an expensive store like Saks to thrive and grow since it’s founding. Oh the irony! haha!

Shepard Fairey, who also designed the,“Obey“ posters for Dear Leader, Obama, was the artist behind this campaign for Saks. Mr. Fairey states in this NYTs article, “it’s a way of grabbing attention. It’s commerce. I don’t think there is really any political statement embedded in this.” Regardless of how you look at it, innocent advertising or otherwise, the semiotics embedded in this particular art direction choice is interesting, given the current political environment.
