Arms = overrated.

Same with clothes.
This is DR’s “colleague” Michael Slezak, trying to ignore the somewhat jarring Bolton’s window display at his right. I wouldn’t use this photo, but I’m positive he’ll never see it, so it doesn’t matter. Consider this a test to see if he knows I have a blog.
He is perhaps reaching for a gun?
I’m wondering if anyone has ever been inside a Bolton’s. This is a store I know I’ve seen 100s of times and in different NYC locations, but never once have I acknowledged it as a store I might enter. Why? It’s not this window display’s fault — I find the warped attempt at a sweeping social statement bizarrely endearing. I think it’s that the fancy script in the logo reminds me of Lord & Taylor, and judging by the shit in the window or lack thereof, Bolton’s is nowhere near L&T. Why am I suddenly pro-L&T? I haven’t been there in seven years. I bought earrings that I lost the next night.
This font is so much kookier!
“Heeeeeeeeey girlie girl, I’m Lord & Taylor, shop me up, holla!”
The “W” in the Bolton’s photo is part of “LATE SHOW.”
PERSPECTIVE, what up?

UPDATE: In honor of my surprising triumph with this post (thanks to Slezak having a google alert for his OWN NAME), DR proudly presents its first installment of Listen2This:
This one’s a bopper!

I love your acknowledgment of the reflected ‘W.’ Beautiful stuff.

WHOA.

I feel the same way about Bolton’s. I almost went in there once. I remember it because I got really close to the door and then retracted.
love the L+T reference. Yay midwest!

Ha! I’ve done the same thing! Maybe there’s a repellent electromagnetic field keeping us out. Or we just have great taste.

i once got a nightgown gift with a boltons tag in it and was SHOCKED!
slezak looking away from the boltons boobies in his face reminds me of the time i forced marc to watch ‘the l word’ for the first time. he was horrified (then ridiculously hooked)!

i would also like to out our beloved slezak on his google alerts for his name. when i started my simple blog he outed me and i couldn’t figure out how he knew until he confessed he was ‘google alerted’. alas, your name was used too. it was my third post, i believe, and the month was feb:

Awwww, happy Valentine’s Day to you, too! I never saw that. But I can’t read.

Oh my HECK, that damn final “r” in the “Lord + Taylor” logo drives me insane. I could never shop at such a place. Seriously.
June 25th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
Yeah, Matt, that is by NO means an R. I can’t believe I never noticed and then boycotted them for that reason.
Also, Katy, find me one person truly immune to getting hooked on the L Word and I will give them an imaginary million dollars and real-life slap in the face.

Oooooh…an update to the post…with sassy robo-disco song linkage. Niiiiice! I may not miss being at work, but I miss Annie Barrett’s patented brand of bitchery and sass. And also Chipotle.
