Easy living gently satirizes consumer culture and the American dream of suburban leisure. With a cast of small plastic dolls and miniature model cars--the very toys that shape children's ideas about success--the video simulates a weekend day in the life of suburbia with all its clichés, from the car wash to the golf course to an evening in front of the television, relaxing to a series of TV commercials. With attention to minute details as well as broad symbols, Lord and McGowan convey the hyperreal condition of "easy living."
