Photo of the Day: Great Furball Meets Young Customer
After awhile in New York City, you learn not to be surprised by unusual sights. (Listen: one morning, on my way to work eight years ago, I saw a whole troop of young men streaming out of Fox TV headquarters, dressed in formal wear--and all wearing masks. They were, I realized with a start, contestants on the short-lived Monica Lewinsky Dating Game for the 21st century, Mr. Personality. Heck, I realized, if I were on a show with Monica Lewinsky, I wouldn’t want to show my face, either!)
Anyway, over the last several weeks, a block or so from where I work at Rockefeller Center, various costumed characters, representing the M and M’s World store, appear on the northern part of Times Square and mingle with tourists. Here is just one example of making an investment in tomorrow’s customers now. A shrewd marketing decision, if you ask me…
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
