Vogue: Shopping Saves Lives, Marriages, and Sykes
In case the interminable pages of advertisements didn’t make it clear, Vogue has just one simple request for you: spend money! Virtually every page in the October issue has 
something to buy—from Ralph Lauren fragrance to Tiffany bangles to pretty much every garment that can conceivably be crafted out of fur. (Seriously, so much fur. Is Anna Wintour trying to provoke another pie in the face?)
But until I read this issue, I didn’t know that shopping isn’t merely a way to fill the Vogue-induced perception of a void in my wardrobe. Actually, shopping is an essential pursuit that does more than extract insane sums of money from women to fill the coffers of multinational conglomerates who manufacture everything in the Third World. No, shopping is the solution for everything!
