I've been doing a lot of random internet window shopping lately. Just now, I looked at Target.com at the shoes for at least ten minutes. I'm going to Target in about half an hour. Why am I compelled to waste my time online beforehand looking at shoes I'm not going to buy? And why, why, why are there so many pairs of moccasins for sale? Moccasins in blue, pink, orange, yellow, aqua, tan, camel, black. Just say no to the moccasins, people. N.O.

You know what I've just realized? The Breast Cancer Awareness people are masters of marketing. MASTERS. They've got the pink ribbons, the run/walks, the tug-at-your-heart-strings-click-this-button-once-a-day-to-fund-mammograms button thingy, and now - they are claiming pink. Just pink, the entire color. At Target, there is an entire line of pink stuff, from scarfs to flip flops to those plastic bracelets (TM Lance Armstrong) to a Target Pink Cashmere Hat in black. All proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

I mean, I am all for Breast Cancer Research and awareness, especially since I have two of them, but here's the real question - where are the Cervical Cancer Awareness people? The Skin Cancer Awareness people? The Glaucoma Awareness people? Wherever they are, they need to figure out who markets the BC campaign and hire them, stat.

Alright, well, off to Target with visions of wrapping paper dancing in my head. Thank God for updating every day - I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat each morning, waiting to see what incredibly scintillating thing I've found to talk about. It might come to the point where I take a picture of the inside of my purse, people. That's all I'm saying.
