There's the whole economic boom, which is, of course, leaving out 80 percent of Americans, but all the coverage about it has made it incredibly hip to be obsessed with showing off your money by wearing the labels. I think it is, and I think that clothing and makeup and all that stuff can be an enormous amount of fun, if that's the approach, and if we're given a lot of latitude in terms of individual difference. But what's ridiculous is the extreme conformity of it all. I found that hilarious. We have a very narrow sense of what's fashionable and what's acceptable, and extreme judgment of people who don't conform.
Sponsorship is an insidious form of advertising.
Everything in entertainment is sponsored. You could sell your babies to Pepsi. You could put a little tattoo on them, and they only drink Pepsi during their lifetime. Catholicism, the Coca-Cola Religion. They really, really get it.
