costco.

hard core consumerism makes me feel ill. i spent sunday at the docklands, and as far as i know this is the only place in victoria that there is a costco wholesale store. so after lunch my family and i went to check out this piece of american life; and i walked out shocked and disgusted. there was a huge line outside the store, which we thought was to enter the store. turns out it was a long line to get a membership for costco, as that is the only way that you can shop there. yes, you heard me, a membership just to shop at what is essentially a large supermarket. there was no way we were paying for a membership to walk into the store, so we were allowed access to the store in order to 'browse' as the woman at the front put it. essentially, we were allowed into the store to look around but now allowed to purchase anything if we wished to do so. i don't know if it is just me, but this stores ethics seem wrong on so many levels. in actual life events, had to go back into school today to tie up loose ends, and the weather was so obedient and amazing. my new lisa ho 'boyfriend' jeans are so comfortable and amazing. and to think, i paid two dollars for them. these photos are just shots i took of melbourne and the endless amounts of seagulls that occupy summer. was feeling black and white tonight, so thought i would go with my feelings and desaturate them both.

jusqu'à la prochaine fois.
