Texas is a shit hole. Not quite as smelly a shit hole as Florida is, but a shit hole nonetheless.

I saw someone drive up in one of these to buy half a pair of shoes there.

While Prada Marfa has been there since 2005, this issue originated with the installation of Playboy Marfa in June.

There is a clear difference: Playboy Marfa is a marketing piece financed by Playboy, and Prada Marfa is an art piece unaffiliated with Prada (although Prada did agree to allow the use of their trademark).

Prada Marfa isn't going anywhere.
