Today's task "subvert consumer society from within" .The idea being to enter high or perceived high end fashion stores and leave little notes in pricey items for the eventual buyer to be faced with.. above you will see some examples ,pre-deposit.
I enjoyed this task to the fullest, and will have to admit to a good hard smirk upon realising the extent of my hypocrisy, not only was i leaving left leaning, anti capitalist messages, ( a political stand point i have never and would never advocate) BUT... i was leaving them in shops that i frequented myself.
Just the thought of a girl taking home her extortionately priced boots , and finding the message "with these boots you are crushing the poor" is almost enough to make me loose bladder control.
Highlight of the day without a doubt was almost being sussed while leaving a note in some posh shoes, and having to rescue the situation by sending the assistant away for another size while i finished the job and left.
Middlesbrough town centre has had the finger of an imaginary, liberal, bleeding heart hippy waved disapprovingly in its face.. hope it was an enjoyable for it as it was for me!!.
