(Which it would have to be, given that none of what we're selling has any verifiable Significance that we know of.) Mimi Lipson's story involved Andy Warhol, Kurt Andersen's involved James Dean, Lucinda Roselfeld's included Norman Rockwell, and I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting. In this case, the sort of backdrop is historic, but I don't think that, say, Nesbit actually bought White a Bar-B-Que Sauce jar. That's my perspective, anyway...

The Significance isn't invented through pure fiction, it's just borrows its Significance from actual people and events in a ficticious way. You can make anything more interesting just by saying it was used by/beloged to something or someone famous or infamous, in this case.
