I spent an hour sitting on the floor in the sociology aisle at *******, reading a book about luxury. this book was written on the premise that we no longer have a shared cultural ideology based in art or literature or even religion, but rather based in the shared experience of (or desire for) consumption of luxury items: namely, starbucks and evian and rolex and dolce & gabbana and mercedes or porsche.
this book said that marx and adam smith are obsolete, because we no longer identify ourselves based on our labor or even the products of our labor, but based on what we consume. we aren’t shopping to fill needs, we’re shopping to create identity. we feel fulfilled when we’re shopping because we feel as if we’re producing something – as if we’re having an individual experience, when what we’re doing is aligning ourselves with a concept of the group – choosing objects, clothing items, etc, that we think define culture and subcultures through our shared consumption of them.

The other person is Amy Sedaris. I had met her in New York through friends and had seen her in The Little Frieda Mysteries at La Mama, the latter completely affecting my life. She’s a genius actress but she can also go out and do a concept cookbook cause it’s part of what she likes and have a crafts club cause it’s part of what she likes and do other non-actory stuff cause it’s part of what she also likes and not take things seriously and take things seriously enough and is obsessed with human hair wigs and have a miniscule company making cupcakes and cheeseballs and selling them directly to small coffee shops in the Village and that she disguises herself in her roles and dresses up in her personal life, and be 100 different people and have total creative control in her work.
she says a different thing from each and every angle.
some dolls are alive.
