Signs in Selfridges in Birmingham
[photo by MarkHillary]
Liz Spikol is senior contributing editor of Philadelphia Weekly. She writes the award-winning column The Trouble With Spikol, which began as a chronicle of her struggle with mental illness, and has since expanded into humorous musings on everything from graphic novels to how to use a mop. She also writes the paper's book review column, Lit Gloss. This blog -- named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 by PsychCentral -- is about mental illness policy, news, personal journeys and more.

The Mark Hillary flickr page doesn't say this, but these signs are definitely by the great artist Barbara Kruger. (Er, if they're not made by her then they're most definitely knock-offs.) She's all about feminism and critiqueing our consumer culture. Here's some linkies:

If you follow the wikipedia link you'll see the "I shop therefore I am" work right at the top.
