Junk Mail Observations

I adore reading junk mail. Here are some observations on the latest catalogues I received: Ishka; Coles; Woolworths; Kmart; Big W.

    Oh boy, I have THOUGHTS about the Ishka catalogue. Bringing orientalism to the masses since 1971!

    Still, when I was a teenager, Ishka (along with Camberwell Market) was one of the few ways to explore 'alternative' sartorial identities.

    Perhaps it still performs that role for kids in regional locations. (New Ishka stores in Wagga, Ballarat, Bendigo, Traralgon, Warrnambool.)

    The Champas Wars hit Woolies: Veuve is just $56 a bottle if you buy six (which you totally would).

    Honestly, why would anyone buy pantyhose in 'nearly black'? Pissweak. Go proper black or go home!

  12. Kmart has an 'interactive horse' that "neighs & makes galloping noises". I'm imagining it holding coconut shells. http://pic.twitter.com/AVwCl2Lf

    Imagine her little face falling when you say "Yes, little Sally, we bought you a pony!" and turns out it's the Kmart Interactive Horse.

    Pete Townshend on the cover of his new memoir looks a bit like Clive Owen. Also, Janet Evanovich has now written 19(!) Stephanie Plum books.

  18. Also, LOL, I like how you don't even have to read the book because he answers the title question right on the front cover.
