Unison Fetish has returned to Bleecker Street on weekends this month to perform their satirical cupcake song and dance routine. They march through the crowds of shoppers and tourists, a line of women--and one man--all attired in pink satin dresses and heels, holding cupcakes in their fists.
Consumers stop and take photos. They smile. They seem oblivious to the fact that they are being mocked. True,
the mockery is soft, subtle, and could be taken for genuine enthusiasm. The lyrics are sung to God Bless America:
"God bless Magnolia
Cupcakes we love
Stand in line here
For a time here
Buy a treat Carrie Bradshaw would love.
Bless Ralph Lauren
And Marc Jacobs
All the global luxury brands!
God bless Magnolia
Temptations so sweet...
God bless Magnolia
And the New Bleecker Street!"
Subtlety is lost on New Bleecker's crowd, which may not always contain the most evolved thinkers.
A little boy asks his mother, "Why is there a
man in a dress?"
The mother answers,
"Because people are weird."Where are we?
Little Wisconsin?
