The parade of dreams as one slips by store windows will always sustain our thirst for disturbing and renovating epiphanies. Around the world, these dioramas weakly attempt to mirror the march of culture, some displaying an obvious eagerness to leap the market with catchy English names, such as those in the Italian farmacias featuring a large dusty box labeled ‘Fling Junior.’ Alas, the box contains no more than a doleful humidifier, and any visionary asthmatic would find his suspirations dampened. On the other hand, a German product leering siren-like from the window of a maternity shop has indicated a new order of preservation, and I now ONLY cook with Tante Gelli’s Stretch Mark Oil.
