Nigella Lawson's cookware is so gorgeously designed, I just want to sit in the kitchen and touch her measuring cups for hours. Very smart design.

Is anyone else a whore for well-designed stuff? I can't go into a Target these days without walking out carrying a huge cart of fabulously designed...STUFF.

I want to start a clothing line called "Intelligent Designer Jeans."

I even love the target 'design' commercial. I love the song they use.




I'm such a corporate whore. What will I do when I actually find a new job and lose my discount?

i want to start a line of recycled jeans with ugly patches sewn on them, and call them "tainted jeans".

did you see that huge spread target had in an issue of the new yorker over the summer, where a bunch of different artists each did a full page target ad? sounds like it would be obnoxious, but the art was AMAZING. i hope i still have that copy of the new yorker, i was actually gonna cut out those ads...and do WHAT with them, i don't know!

I want to start a line of jeans that can be worn by everybody and call them "Normal Jeans."

i was going to start a line of jeans for emo fans, then when that takes off i was going to start a line of hot chocolate. i was going to call it "emo-jeans cocoa".




god, that was a bad joke.

I heard about it, but I never saw it.
I really, really do love our advertising and design. I love our newer partnerships with folks like Isaac Mizrahi and Cynthia Rowley et al. It's been a fun company to work for over the last few years. We're doing such fun stuff. It's a shame I hate my current position.

CarrieMpls said:

i could never work at target. i'd blow my paycheck at work every week. i can only go there every few months, because i always drop a hundred bucks or so every time i visit.

Anxiety said:

Oh, I'm getting much better. I only go a few times a month now. There was a time I was going at least once a week if not more. My friends and I finally had to turn it into a game. When we all go together, whoever comes out spending the least amount of money wins. I almost never win, even with my discount.

CarrieMpls said:

oh! And the SuperTargets are absolutely DIVINE! The natural foods and veggie option section stuff costs WAY less than our regular grocery stores. And they have all sorts of yummy asian food stuff you normally have to go to an asian grocery for.

CarrieMpls said:

we have a pretty super target near where i live, but i don't know if it's a "proper" supertarget. it's got two floors and one of those funky escalators that has a set-up for your cart to go with you (love that!). i'm loving their dish soap/cleanser brand with the funky scents, and their seasonal decoration stuff is always the coolest.

I'm quite partial to Nigella's 'measuring cups' myself.

ever seen her spice rack?

Not in as much detail as I'd like to. I can fantasise though.

i love target

Hopefully Target will finally get rid of that awful Michael Graves Design crap. I swear to god, that guy is even designing pretentious looking dog toys. Like dogs really give a shit. His crap is always on the clearance rack a month later, lol.

Nice cookware! I just recently got some new coffee cups at Target and I think they are by the same designer. They're green glaze with a black inside. Love em!

Tom said:

yeah, michael graves is SO '90s, his stuff is really obnoxious anymore.

the last time i went to target, i almost had a nervous breakdown in the kitchen appliances aisle...so much cool stuff, and so cheap!!!

Anxiety said:

I put his coffee pot and tea kettle on my registry...they're not bad, really...

applekisses said:

I still like a lot of the Michael Graves stuff.

But some of it has gone a bit over the top.

i offer this on condition of strictest anonymity.

the last time i went shopping at target i found the sweetest furry blanket. everytime i cuddle up with my blanket i think to myself 'self, i'd love to have an entire suit made out of this material'

there. now you know.

CarrieMpls said:

I looooove Isaac Mizrahi's clothes...though none seem to fit me right I'm going shopping up at Target tonite as a matter of fact

XxAxX said:

There is absolutely NO shame in that.

CarrieMpls said:

and if you see me walking down the street clad head to toe in a homemade furry suit you'll just give me an approving nod, eh?

I do most of my toy shopping at Target. They usually get the Marvel Legends action figures before everyone else, and they have really cool Star Wars exclusives from time to time!

I had a SuperTarget near my old digs, and MAN do I miss it! I just have an old-school store near my house now.

i don't even need another blanket but i'm going to buy another one just.... because it's so cuddly. seriously. it's skinsational

Anxiety said:

I love their Infomercial section too, you get to see all that stuff up close without having to risk ordering it in the mail. Their fake flower arrangements kick ass too.

You're a dirty girl.
