Marc Jacobs can kiss my ass
I probably neglected to mention this because of my lingering bitterness on the subject, but my hair salon in New York was recently run out of business by YET ANOTHER Marc Jacobs store in the West Village. That’s, like, FIVE stores, in case you’re keeping track. This totally disrupts my New York ritual of "get a haircut, then go to Magnolia Bakery and eat a cupcake," and for this I am disgruntled, because it’s the little things, you know?
Anyhow, I walked by my former hair salon (now a Marc Jacobs store) last week, and there was this huge photo of Marc Jacobs in drag, with a big "HAPPY GAY PRIDE WEEK" or something like that sign, and this made me laugh out loud. Not because I have anything against pride– I just think it’s super-funny that the gayest store in the gayest district of New York City would even take the time to point out a celebration of gayness. Because if we’re only celebrating gay pride one week out of the year, then someone needs to tell that to all the dildo shop owners on Christopher Street. And, I’m just saying that since he’s taking over the whole neighborhood and is a homosexual himself and is wearing those kicky suede platform heels, you’d think that Marc Jacobs would know this. I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say the Marc Jacobs store was engaging in blatant pandering to their demographic, but you never know.
And also, I want my hair salon back.
