A mild and temporary cure for the compulsively possessive: this ‘happy product’ should make you feel better, whilst having none of the drawbacks of actually meeting with the medical institution. It is especially recommended if you believe that health and beauty are the same thing; this purchase, in fact, should represent a marginal fraction of your monthly ‘splash-out’ on skin creams and slimming products - think of it as an aesthetic band-aid.

Brooches for mammal in the p.m., worn to signal some things other than protracted youth: sag, feed, and pride. (The pair).
