Model Economics

You know the guy with the bleached hair and goatee who does the T.G.I. Friday commercials? Robert saw an interview wherein the guy said that he doesn’t eat there, he just does their ads. Like when Darryl Hannah was the face of “Angel” perfume, and stated publicly that she never wears perfume, just a little essential oil.

Let’s not forget that Cybill Shepherd, in “Interview” magazine, credited her youthfulness to a diet free of red meat--- after she’d been signed by the Beef Council to replace James Garner, who had had a multiple bypass.

Consumerism versus celebrity, one feeds on (and off of) the other, but which? I suppose if I actually watched television, I’d have more insight.
