October 16, 2021,
When our associates at Grappling Stars shot video products back in 2015, so many of the beautiful girls at the small events lived in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Many directly in San Francisco.
What caught their attention was how many of the young women did not have a car and needed a ride if the video shoot occurred in the San Jose area.
One of our camera persons asked, “If you don’t have a car, how do you eat, purchase and get around?”
Good question back in 2015.
Easy answer today.
You can literally live in your house, similar to a shut in, and order virtually anything you want online and have it delivered.
A couple of intriguing films made us think about that.
The Wolf Hour is a 2019 psychological thriller film written and directed by Alistair Banks Griffin. It stars Naomi Watts, Emory Cohen, Jennifer Ehle, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Jeremy Bobb and Brennan Brown.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2019.
Here is the storyline.
June (Naomi Watts) was once a known counter-culture figure, but that was a decade ago.
She now lives alone in her late grandmother’s South Bronx apartment, having all but cut herself off from the outside world. It’s the notorious “Summer of Sam” and June only has to look out of her window to see the violence escalating with the brutal summer heat. The city is on a knife’s edge, a pressure-cooker about to explode into the incendiary 1977 New York blackout riots.
The poor girl was so frightened she virtually never ventured outside.
In today’s world, that is okay. As a professional Writer, she can blog from home, set up a store using her bank account and never have to walk out the door.
Another film that caught our eye starred the gorgeous girl next door, Amy Adams.
The Woman in the Window is a 2021 American psychological thriller film directed by Joe Wright from a screenplay by Tracy Letts, based on the 2018 novel of the same name by pseudonymous author A. J. Finn.
The film follows an agoraphobic woman (Amy Adams) who begins to spy on her new neighbors (Gary Oldman, Fred Hechinger, and Julianne Moore) and is witness to a crime in their apartment. Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell, Brian Tyree Henry, and Jennifer Jason Leigh also star.
Here is the storyline.
Child psychologist Anna Fox lives alone in Manhattan on West 121st Street after separating from her husband Edward. He lives away with their daughter Olivia, but she talks to them on a daily basis.
Anna suffers from agoraphobia and her housebound state leads her to observe all of her neighbors from a second-story window, including the Russell family who recently moved in across the street. She also takes a large number of medications and drinks alcohol daily.
Well, with that cocktail of substances, maybe it is better if she does stay indoors.
Because she has to.
We have a friend who did it by design.
Trisha’s car’s engine check light came on. That bad boy wasn’t bluffing. Her car actually did stop right in the middle of the street. Fortunately at a red light and it gave her time to re-start it again.
After reflecting upon it, Trisha made a decision not to fix the car for at least a month, pay herself first and then pay to get her car fixed next month.
The question she had, since she was used to driving to the post office (P.O. Box due to neighborhood box thefts), the store and the gym, was, could she manage all of this from home.
The post office box situation could be challenging.
Other than that, she found out that she could virtually order everything she needed online and go for walks and runs inside of her gated Condo community.
For the very first time, she ordered from Amazon and they actually delivered her product as they stated, on the right date.
Very good.
She found the online prices to be better than the brick and mortar retail store. Order early though, as some of the deliveries could take up to 4 days.
Trisha made a decision that even after this experiment was over, she would absolutely order from Amazon again.
Then there was the aspect of grocery shopping.
Here is what Safeway has to say, “We Have What You Need. Carefully Picked Groceries w/ Contact-Free Order Pickup & Delivery. More Local Delivery & Pickup Times Have Been Added.”
Alright then. She can have her groceries delivered and never step outside the door.
Time for some new threads?
The fashion subscription boxes have been the rage for some time.
USA News shares, “With end-of-summer discount events happening now at dozens of our favorite retailers, there’s no shortage of stellar sales you can score this week to end summer on a high.”
In some cases, all you have to do is order it online.
With Stitchfix, you can find your favorite clothing from over 1,000 brands and styles.
Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service in the United States and United Kingdom. It uses recommendation algorithms and data science to personalize clothing items based on size, budget and style.
Stitch Fix generated more than $1 billion in sales during 2018 and reported 3.4 million customers in June 2020. It is headquartered in San Francisco, California and employs 8,000 people worldwide.
Wonders never cease.
Another benefit to becoming a temporary shut in was that Trisha became more skilled at adding subscription channels to her cable Comcast offering by signing up on her computer, then connecting it with a code to her television service.
Then, when all else is settled, she always has the option of simply walking to her neighborhood 7-Eleven and picking up something she likes, in a hot minute.
This new shut in life style is something that she could get used to. At least for the moment.
So, for now, her car will have to wait to get repaired.
Trisha is looking forward to the day that auto mechanics will come by your home and fix your car right there.
At the moment, there are so many products that can be delivered to your home, it can help you live an alternate lifestyle and develop skillsets you may have never known you had before.
