Shopping with my older daughter


san francisco, originally uploaded by escott sukotto.
Went shopping with my older daughter in a mall in the city. I was struck by how shiny everything seemed.  Everything seemed to be covered in sparkly shiny beads - even the cosmetic stalls had face cream made with gold. It's strange watching people search for an attainable opulence and I wonder if they are settling for the next best thing or if the garishness just isn't apparent anymore.  I was struck by how many women were wearing so much makeup that their skin was no longer translucent like "nude" kabuki.
