My kitchen full of gadgets and studio full of instruments is a testament to that. It has taken me awhile, but I am now aware of the common "Admire, Desire, Acquire" advertising strategy and am less likely to bite.<br />But then I have to differentiate between want and need. Sometimes I believe that luxury (perfume for instance) is almost a necessity.

I don't know how many times I've done that. I knew what you meant, though. B and M are only two keys away :)<br /><br />Gail, if a product is something that I want or need anyway (like potatoes!), I can usually overlook ridiculous advertising. However, advertising is never going to make me buy something I don't want or need, and may even suppress my desire to buy the product or at least the advertised brand.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-21965701229188996082011-12-31T09:36:01.388-08:002011-12-31T09:36:01.388-08:00Cringing at my typo...my comment should read "...Cringing at my typo...my comment should read "stinks of BS", not MS.JoanElainehttp://redolentofspices.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-49793224824996990132011-12-30T20:57:36.794-08:002011-12-30T20:57:36.794-08:00Yes, Ellen!

Why would I buy anything suggested by a celebrity who is a master of self promotion? <br /><br />When I was young I believed that if a product or service was advertised I didn't really need it and so did not buy it. (I modified that viewpoint a few years ago when I saw an ad on television for spuds, sponsored by somebody's Potato Council.) My new take on advertising is that the more ridiculous the ad the less I need the item advertised. Sometimes I succumb, but at least I am aware that the item is being "romanced" and that I am being "sold".

Just how stupid do these people think we are? <br /><br />On perfumer Adam Gottschalk's blog, he wrote about the ridiculous backstory of Floris' Snow Rose. It stinks of MS worse than the Creed tale.<br /><br />You have inspired me to think more about where my money goes.JoanElainehttp://redolentofspices.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
