I'm Being Stalked. By a Department Store. That is Apparently Deaf, Dumb, and Blind.

Neiman Marcus has this cool new service where they send you product recommendations based on what items you demonstrate the most interest in on their website. Cool idea in theory, right? A little big brother-ish, but cool nonetheless.

Unfortunately, I think Neimans needs to do a little bit of work on their algorithms. Below are the recommendations they sent to me in a recent email. As you can see, they've committed some cardinal sins.

I do not like a single one of those bags. They are drab and boring. The Kooba Jacinda looks like it's trying to break out of a straight jacket, while the Botkier Vixen is reminiscent of the yip yip bag Emilie mentioned in an earlier post. And I'm sorry, but the Juicy Couture bag is just unforgivable. You all know well by now how much I hate this brand. And it's called the Gossip Shoulder Bag. I may gossip, but I'm NOT 12 years old.

Nice try, Neimans, but apparently my preferences are too sophisticated and complex for you to understand. Kind of like a fine red wine.
