Wise Angie on Crate & Barrel catalogs, the wedding industry, the market economy and the power of fantasy:
Ang: No one really wants a heart-shaped waffle-maker.
Me: Of course not, that would be incredibly tacky.
Ang: No, I mean they literally don't want a heart-shaped waffle-maker. They want a life where they get to use a heart-shaped waffle-maker to make heart-shaped waffles for the people they love. They want the illusion that they could have a life where a heart-shaped waffle-maker belongs.

Actually, I don't want a waffle-maker, period. Eggo's suit me just fine.
