In the manner that PETA activists throw blood on fur-wearing fashionistas, now is the time to throw twigs at noncanvas bag-bearing shoppers.

Virgin Mega-Store, in my mind, was an acceptable big-box store. The $10 DVD collection of John Waters movies was something cheap and easy to buy there. While my music is mostly bought on-line or at other music, Virgin was an acceptable shop.
Following HMV, Tower, and others, Virgin will soon be a thing of New York's past.

If a friend or (briefly) loved one has contracted gonorrhea, after you've explained that you're not the one from which they contracted the disease, a gift is a great idea. Or if you're the recently infected, why not treat yourself to something special.

Probably a good indication of the retail strength of an area is the state of its storefronts. Considering conditions of only the sex and fetish shops in the West Village (all except one along the retail corridor of Christopher Street) one would say the area is in downfall.
Apparently Badlands has gone through a name change, but not all of the signs have been changed. London has lost an "o". The innovative and provocative windows of The Leatherman have mellowed. (And in contrast, Harmony seems to have become a graffiti free zone.)
Downfall is not what is happening though. It is more reflective of transitions occurring to the area. (Not pictured are the new teahouses and baby goods and clothing stores.) Gentrification is not the only reason for these changes. The Internet provides what many of these stores once did. Soon Christopher Street will be indistinguisable to any other West Village shopping street.

With the weekend (and happy hour) just a few hours away, my goal is to be like Elmo this weekend. The ability to stand back up can become problematic though.

Among several new purchases to transform my old apartment to my new apartment have been some lighting purchases on eBay:
Another obsession is "television lamps". Popular in the 1950's they were used to create background light in a room to contrast with the glare of the small black and white screens of early televisions. The intention is to create a small wall full of these. But the first purchase may actually be alone as a "Don't ride the white horse" homage:
Finally, another accent lamp in wood cutouts that looks awesome on the new sofa (much better than this picture) from Target:
