You know what it is, it's capitalism baby:capitalismo at its best. It's about making money. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. It's sickening. The problem is not that there is money hungry people making these products, the problem is the people who buy them, they encourage this never ending, insatiable gluttonously....
I'm that guy who does think it through. "yeah the mister Nice guy". no complains though I love being the way I am if I had to ask myself, why? Id say its probably cause I have two sisters and they are my love, and of course I get to be true to myself, and not just play a game. especially to my speacial someone. check out the video I posted so you see what I mean there are two poems I wrote to her on that video. the second one towards the end is our favorite at the time.

So lucy what do you like for valentines day. imagine if we were dating , and i sent you a teddy bear or flowers or chocolates. Apart from doing your nut you would dump me right? what would make you happy as a friend and fan just interested to know. I mean would two tickets to Paris or venice do it for you? no offence yeah lucy just wondering.
Kids buy that stuff! My teen daughter LOVES to buy me stuffed animals and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate for Valentine's Day. She wishes I'd buy her those stuffed animals that play music! She presses every button when we're in the store and makes the whole aisle dance!
Anyway, don't knock the chocolate. Any holiday that comes with it's own chocolate is A #1 in my book!
I usually cook a nice dinner for my girlfriend (I don't take her out, I cook it myself) and we usually just spend the day together at home watching movies or something. I'm in the air force, so we don't get to spend much time to gether, but I always try my hardest to be home with her for the holidays, and spending time with me is exactly what she wants, I usaully buy her a generic gift (i.e. jewelry or something, but I make sure it's nice), or I bring her something cool from overseas.
well theres money in the people making it and I can say "the small things that count" and it wouldn't be a league. its a league of their. be lucky your even thought of
good point, but i just wanted to say that my b/f always buys me cute/so-called tacky gifts. Does that make him tacky? Whatever. I wonder if I should dump him, but he's been walking around in shorts as a way of showing his love. Its about 30 degrees in my state. Every day. Or less. So I wonder -- should I still love him? Well, good luck! Some people still love ya!
I've really been missing my friend Dori so I wrote out a really thoughtful Valentine's Day card for her! Hopefully it didn't come off too clingy but I can't help how I feel about her!
"Why buy a mass-produced stuffed animal to demonstrate your love to somebody? Why not give the gift of creativity...and be original for Valentine's Day!"
--> why even give anything on this day? why not just make gifts to your one when you feel like it, instead of doing it mass-synchronized?
Romance is dead and it was impaled through the chest by a mass-produced, generic chotchke known as Capitalism. :)
The crap in the grocery markets are for the lazy blokes waiting until the last moment to appease their girl/woman...which sums up a vast percentage of men. Afterall, Valentine's Day isn't a holiday for guys anyways.
beautiful smart and talented! Amen sister! lol, I love what you said in here, it's so true, we need to think about the important sentimental things rather than the commericialized things. Much love!
My poor Ugandan family and I make corny generic valentines gifts. This allows us to subsist on more than just locusts. Please don't dis our efforts to live a simple life.
omg thats it - your the next elaine (is that how you even spell her name?) so.. all you have to do - is wait around for the next sienfeld!! no.. let me rephase that YOUR next sienfeld OR will&Grace OR.. well you get the drift ;) xx
I'm sorry this comment is not original but this is the only way I know how to say it... Your argument was very well articulated and expressed and I agree with you.
a se me olvidaba creo tu entiendes el español, no ?? pues si, entiendo lo que dices y lo creo, pero ahi gente generica que compra regalos genericos, para otra parsonas genericas que tienen emociones y expresiones genericas cuando lo reciben y dan regalos genericos
I run a swet shop in the islands and sewing big bears that sing is my staff of 30 or more under 12 year olds favorite american halmark holiday. They have all learned many meanaless american sayings From those singing bears !!!!
It is good you feel the way you do about Valentine day but some people may like to receive chocolate candy. We shouldn't try to put everyone in one category about showing our love toward each other. This day is about showing love to each other own way by telling how much we care or buying a silly stuff animal. Let us not judge each other but show more love to each other on this day. I hope you will have a great Valentine day!
I'd love to get a white gorilla with a heart on it that plays music when you squeeze it AND a tacky helium heart ballon that says Happy Valentines from the dollar store. Happy Valentines day!
The generic crap from the grocery store is for those of us who have been married forever, and we finally realized Valentine's Day is a cruel hoax, perpetrated upon the people who haven't been married forever.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too. I wish I could happy today, but as I checked the romantic stuffs from my last relationship, I got more tears than smiles ...
A few hours ago I went to the grocery store and couldn't believe all the Valentine's crap they had displayed on these big tables right inside the front door. I watched a guy pick up one of those generic boxes of chocolate, and thought to myself, "No! Don't settle for something in the GROCERY STORE! Get to a real store and buy some roses or something else that's a step up from a grocery store!". Just my $.02.
That's because most people are brainwashed by TV and pop culture into believing that love & money mix and that it's good to buy slave goods (made in china) which are given as symbols of "affection" to their loved ones...much like diamond rings, etc. That's what I like about you Lucy...You're not afraid to speak out against the BS and the scams most of us buy into. Happy Valentine's Day to you my dear!
Commercialism meets sentimentalism. The most personal relationship, love between two people, enshrined as a holiday, packaged and sold. Now that's love! Don't you think?
It's pointless to have 'Valentine's Day' considering we should do heart-warming things for our loved ones everyday or at least on a regular basis. 'Valentine's Day' is bourgeois and marked by materialism.
YES! I need a guy to actually work a little on V-day. Something that shows that he really thought about the gift and what it would mean to me. No flowers, no candies and NO stuffed animals. Ugh!
This was very good point for this heart day and Lucy I hope you have a grand Valentine's Day. I did a little question thing a while back on some girls and guys on what does your mom/dad like or gf/bf, about all was clueless. The things in the stores are out for quick, don't think/know what to get and I feel some are lucky if they get the store stuff. Lucy, I really like your way of thinking for life, keep it up. Also I found you everywhere on the net this weekend as your name is top search item.
Do you realize that you are wearing a RED shirt? not very creative. and hey- I'm glad to even get a box of chocolates, much less something extraordinarily, out-of-this-world creative. I'll take a white gorilla anyday. :-/ Going to the grocery store and picking something out DOES require effort so beggars can't be choosers!
I Love You Lucy..Your commentary is delivered in a unique and perfectly irresistable style. You simply ooze sensuality, vivacity, intelligence.
Whoever is the man you choose to be your Valentine will be in a place on par with Heaven. I know what it is like to be Heaven, and you cannot go there as a man unless you are invited there by a woman like you.
Happy Valentines Day! Love and Thoughts, Support and Prayers from Las Vegas.
Well, that crap in the stores can be overwhelming, and I can see how easy it is to voice a complaint about it. In the grand scheme of things, though, does a box of generic chocolates and a lame card really make the world so awful? I agree, if you want to express something your passionate about, it should be creative, personal, and from the heart. The same can be said of vlogs too...
Please keep making these posts; they delight and entertain, and they're interesting viewing.
lol very awsome point!! Although i must admit, its cute to get a 'tacky tedy' if its your first valintine and your still akward in the relationship. other than that, if its a relationship thats lasted over 6 months, than a dorky gift from the grocery store is not a good idea :P
Dear Laura, I really like your Valentine's day message because I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly, pun intended. Btw, I've enjoyed most of your videos, to the point where I feel like I know you a little, which is very nice. My best wishes to you as you pursue your "LucyinLA" dreams.
I couldn't agree with you more Lucy! Well put!!! I would MUCH rather have something that had even a little bit of thought put into it (and thought doesn't have to mean more expensive by any means). Give a girl something that she will actually enjoy and shows that you know her and her interests. A box of chocoloates and some crap-ass teddy bear squeezing a heart is not a good gift... it shows that you put absolutely no thought into what you were getting at all.
Agre 100% Lucy. I want time, effort and attention, not waxy chocolates, stuffed animals made by slave labor in a third world country and cheesy overpriced greeting cards.
>>>It is the girls that do NOT get the attention who complain about V Day.
This video should be a memory of Lucy's favorite Valentine's Day, either one that was planned for her or one that she planned...instead of ripping on Joe Blow who picks up something at the grocery store for his woman. Is that Griffith Park?
Its an easy cop-out really getting something generic for Valentines Day, or for someone who you don't know. If you know the person then it should be different, I'd say... R.
Every holiday is the time for chocolates! Valentine's Day is special because they come in a heart shaped box:) Seriously, men and women aren't all creative when it comes to gift giving, so they may fall back on the old safety net. For guys, she's not going to be mad if you bring roses and chocolates...
I hear ya. I once wrote a poem for my then girlfriend, she thought it was awesome, I wrote a song for her when she was my wife. Not sure how to top that this year though... how bout a nicr teddy bear?
It is just a shame that it has to be said at all. If you love someone you show them everyday not just on this one day each year because you feel that you have to.
Happy Valentines Day Lucy.
BTW: You are very beautiful - the camera loves you.
Would it be too direct of a hint if I sent this to my boyfriend? I got his Valentine's gift yesterday, and for aanother year, I am appalled and disappointed. I do what you said - I put time and thought into my gifts and I wish he'd do the same.
I was thinking the same thing. A lot of stores in every city have hundreds upon hundreds of cheap, ugly, tacky things, but they must sell because why would they have that much stock in the first place? We live in an uncreative world, Lucy.. :P
I think the grocery store valentines are more for kids and people you just want to give a little thing to...not a real significant other type of gift.
Happy Valentine's Day to you too! I agree with you. But it is not just VD . . . too many of the holidays have gotten this way. Although there does seem to be plenty of people out there that like the junk!
I totally agree. My birthday was the 12th, so it is tough with both holidays so close. I think that there should be thought, and itis better then the generic stuff you get at the stores, that most people won't use or look at much once the day is over.
Yeah I agree with you. I'm not gonna buy anything for this Valentine's day. That tree in the background made me think. Why not take my pocket knife and carve out a heart and inscribe our initials. Two hundred years from now it will still be there...lol.
I think maybe those cheap heart chocolates and the big stuffed carnival bears parents buy for their children and maybe teens buy for boyfriend or girlfriend that can't afford a box of Godiva.I don't know anyone who buys that stuff for their spouse or bf/gf. So it must be for the kids.
I guess Valentines Day has gone down the same route Christmas has. One year I saw Kinder suprises repackaged for Christmas, Halloween, Valentines day and Easter. It's a cycle of terror that never ends.
I generally try and land a Date for Valentines Day myself. At least thats what your suppose to do if your single. Married/Dating couples of course have dinner.

Well, that crap in the stores can be overwhelming, and I can see how easy it is to voice a complaint about it. In the grand scheme of things, though, does a box of generic chocolates and a lame card really make the world so awful? I agree, if you want to express something your passionate about, it should be creative, personal, and from the heart. The same can be said of vlogs too...
Please keep making these posts; they delight and entertain, and they're interesting viewing.

lol very awsome point!! Although i must admit, its cute to get a 'tacky tedy' if its your first valintine and your still akward in the relationship. other than that, if its a relationship thats lasted over 6 months, than a dorky gift from the grocery store is not a good idea :P
Luv u hun!

Dear Laura, I really like your Valentine's day message because I agree with your sentiments wholeheartedly, pun intended. Btw, I've enjoyed most of your videos, to the point where I feel like I know you a little, which is very nice. My best wishes to you as you pursue your "LucyinLA" dreams.

I couldn't agree with you more Lucy! Well put!!! I would MUCH rather have something that had even a little bit of thought put into it (and thought doesn't have to mean more expensive by any means). Give a girl something that she will actually enjoy and shows that you know her and her interests. A box of chocoloates and some crap-ass teddy bear squeezing a heart is not a good gift... it shows that you put absolutely no thought into what you were getting at all.

Agre 100% Lucy. I want time, effort and attention, not waxy chocolates, stuffed animals made by slave labor in a third world country and cheesy overpriced greeting cards.

This video should be a memory of Lucy's favorite Valentine's Day, either one that was planned for her or one that she planned...instead of ripping on Joe Blow who picks up something at the grocery store for his woman. Is that Griffith Park?

Its an easy cop-out really getting something generic for Valentines Day, or for someone who you don't know. If you know the person then it should be different, I'd say... R.

Every holiday is the time for chocolates! Valentine's Day is special because they come in a heart shaped box:) Seriously, men and women aren't all creative when it comes to gift giving, so they may fall back on the old safety net. For guys, she's not going to be mad if you bring roses and chocolates...

It is just a shame that it has to be said at all. If you love someone you show them everyday not just on this one day each year because you feel that you have to.
Happy Valentines Day Lucy.
BTW: You are very beautiful - the camera loves you.

while simultaneously stimulating your relationship. not a bad thing, if you ask me.
juliamour 5 years ago
yeah not a bad thing, but to pressure all the guys into making a big day out of V-day is crap. I treat my girl everyday like its V-day.
xxkainorxx 5 years ago
VD (that's an unfortunate abbreviation...) is a holiday created for and by card companies to boost sales.
If you need a holiday to force you to show you care, you're already in more trouble than a box of chocolates can fix.

Would it be too direct of a hint if I sent this to my boyfriend? I got his Valentine's gift yesterday, and for aanother year, I am appalled and disappointed. I do what you said - I put time and thought into my gifts and I wish he'd do the same.
secondstereo 5 years ago
I was thinking the same thing. A lot of stores in every city have hundreds upon hundreds of cheap, ugly, tacky things, but they must sell because why would they have that much stock in the first place? We live in an uncreative world, Lucy.. :P

I think the grocery store valentines are more for kids and people you just want to give a little thing to...not a real significant other type of gift.

Happy Valentine's Day to you too! I agree with you. But it is not just VD . . . too many of the holidays have gotten this way. Although there does seem to be plenty of people out there that like the junk!

Annaconda1984 5 years ago
I totally agree. My birthday was the 12th, so it is tough with both holidays so close. I think that there should be thought, and itis better then the generic stuff you get at the stores, that most people won't use or look at much once the day is over.

Yeah I agree with you. I'm not gonna buy anything for this Valentine's day. That tree in the background made me think. Why not take my pocket knife and carve out a heart and inscribe our initials. Two hundred years from now it will still be there...lol.

I think maybe those cheap heart chocolates and the big stuffed carnival bears parents buy for their children and maybe teens buy for boyfriend or girlfriend that can't afford a box of Godiva.I don't know anyone who buys that stuff for their spouse or bf/gf. So it must be for the kids.

I guess Valentines Day has gone down the same route Christmas has. One year I saw Kinder suprises repackaged for Christmas, Halloween, Valentines day and Easter. It's a cycle of terror that never ends.
I generally try and land a Date for Valentines Day myself. At least thats what your suppose to do if your single. Married/Dating couples of course have dinner.
