"Lucky Magazine"

Coffee Settepani Cafe .75

Yes, there is a magazine dedicated solely to shopping, and for whatever reason they decided to call it "Lucky". Inside this magazine they supply silly little stickers for you to mark the pages having items you either YES want to buy for sure or MAYBE for things you are thinking about buying, but NO they definitly don't have NO sticker, that would defeat the purpose! The purpose of the magazine is to tantalize women and get them to consume! Well, as all great marketing strategies have worked in the past, this one works too. It happens to be my "bathroom magazine" at work, it's part of our yearly chunk of many magazine subscriptions, FHM, BLEEKER, New York Magazine, Vogue, TIME, and the list goes on... Being the solo female at the office I somehow gravitate naturally to the ladies choice, and consumers eye candy, "Lucky". Today I did it, I caught myself marking the page with one of those idiotic YES stickers they provide, and the page marking begins, just like that I became a page marker! I'm now fixated on the new Dove Skin Vitalizer and a very over-priced Marc Jacobs summer bag, yellow and oh so freaking adorable. ugh.
(note, I tried to link to the Dove Skin Vitalizer so you could see it, and guess what? It's been recalled, great now what am I going to do?)
