We just happened to be at a coffee house where they have Wi-fi and a couple of Macs for customer use. As soon as I brought up the Marc Jacobs website, I could see the blank looks disappear, followed by instant recognition and a lot of shouting: "We love Marc Jacobs, they make such cool handbags." Mission accomplished.
The moral of the story is that minimalism is best appreciated through the simple things in life. Are not the simplest words the most meaningful and powerful: love, home, family, friends, and iPod (just kidding)?
The point is, everyone is minimalist at heart; they just don't know it yet. Perhaps there is too much clutter in their lives for them to see it. That's why we minimalists have to make so much noise. Stay original. Be minimal.
