A very exciting time has come. ADVENT! Advent.
This year your treats come in the form of re-worked literary classics, made-to-fit people we know and love. Your job? Figure out who they're for, each one (and where the original comes from? Maybe?). Like, say, this December first example:
To borrow and to borrow and to borrow,
Cheap in this pretty place from pay to day
To the last sale table in record time;
And all our magazines have lighted fools
The way to dusty debt.
Cheap in this pretty place from pay to day
To the last sale table in record time;
And all our magazines have lighted fools
The way to dusty debt.
Pout, pout, chief handler!
This line’s but a gawking shadow of poor playersThat strut and fret an hour up in the dressing-room
and hang stuff up no more.
It is a sale
sold by an idiot, full of silk and fur yetdignifying nothing.

okay, well, obvi this one is from the scottish play. (please see my comment on cw's blorg...) who is it for? i mean... i have worked in fashion (and i do carry a great debt), but not in retail. who do we know who works in retail? who are the shopkeepers?
Oh ho! Diversionary tactics. Those first 2 lines or very like them are tossed by librarian instructors at first year English classes in our attempts to be clever. But no, although it is indeed the Scottish play, you refer not to the librarian but to Erin's days as a fashion stylist.
Rick has no guess yet to offer but he does say: 1. Out out damn Chatter. and 2. Agree that its the scottish play based solely on the picture.
