so today, neiman marcus marries target. there have been stranger things.
like martha stewart marrying petsmart, for example. you walk into your basic petsmart and you don't expect to see leashes and chew bones and litter boxes - in martha's signature colors of red and turquoise (which, by the way, i love. not the chew bones, but the red and turquoise. gorgeous!).
it's jarring, really. almost gives you whiplash. you walk in, looking for breath mints for your dog, and there's martha stewart - a few years outa prison - hawking her latest color combo on some poor, unsuspecting person who just wants to know where the flea dip is.
another odd match is vera wang at kohl's. especially vera wang in their bra department. and their bed sheets department. vera wang, who got famous for her wedding gowns, now has the bride covered from a to z.
everywhere you go these days, you can find stuff that shouldn't be there. vera wang shouldn't be at kohl's. it doesn't matter that it's a second-rate version of vera wang, it just shouldn't be there. period.
starbuck's shouldn't be at kroger.
tiffany's jewelry shouldn't be at macy's.
and while we're on the subject of macy's........ macy's shouldn't be at macy's! macy's belongs in new york city, period. every half-wit knows that!
(i did buy a red and turquoise water dish, though.)
