Chanel shop window

This is my most favourited picture on Flickr. Sixty-one people, mostly from Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, have clicked the little star since I uploaded it in 2005. It has only around 1300 pageviews.

It is my most favourited picture not because of my photographic skills, or my wonderful eye, but because it features Chanel decoration. It appeals to young, rich brand… well, let’s use the word fiends rather than invoking the w-word. I much prefer the picture next to it.

I’m *this* close to deleting this snapshot from my stream.

Most of my other favourited shots are of ‘pretty’ girls, like Shirley Manson, Summer Glau and, um, Brandon Flowers. Or cute animals. Ouch.
