The legendary Harrod’s flagship store locatedĀ in Knightsbridge, London is the biggest goddam department store in Europe. Despite the fact that the place sells everything, the entire basement level is dedicated exclusively to the sale of branded swag of every category imaginable, so that no tourist leaves without buying something, anything emblazoned with the Harrod’s name. That, my friends, is how you do marketing. Anyhoo, I’m a pretty disciplined shopper, so I was able to resist the desire to purchase even this adorable Pink Teddy Bear adorned with a satin ribbed with the Harrod’s brand name in gold. I did, however, leave with this photo.

The Kelly Doll is a take on the classic Hermes Kelly bag, but with little arms, legs, and a smiling face.

Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Mannequin Bust
What’s most interesting about this Hot Pink bust of a lovely African American lady, is that it’s not in use as your standard display mannequin, despite the fact that it is clearly in the middle of a clothing section of a department store. In this instance, it is really more like a sculpture; more likeĀ a work of art meant to enhance the consumer’s shopping experience, I think. In my case, it was highly effective.
