Nice Little Saturday

LP & KG went on a lil prowl to the Greendale Mall this afternoon. Despite the many comings and goings, (previous merchandisers include EMS, Marshall's, and that store "Rave" that's been going out of business since cargo pants were acceptable), it's always been an enjoyable alternative to a full scale shopping spree.

Our first stop/meetup happened at TJMaxx. LP found an adorable Michael Kors bag at a sexy discount, and KG revealed that she previously purchased a purse to match her Timberland Pro's. Both left with the same cowl neck, long torso-ed sweater in coordinating colors.

We then moved through the mall, towards the GAP outlet. Nothing exciting there, except GIANT room fans trying to keep the temperature below 80. Gross.

On our way back to the exit, we gave a quick glance down to DSW, but decided against it. As we passed by Old Navy, and had the usual discussion about how gross the clothing was, we saw it. There they were. Two total cougars, on the prowl in the serengetti of the GDM. They were frolicking, even preening if you will- showing their botoxed faces coyly, and standing confidently in their stripper heels and too-tight linen dresses. GORGEOUS, as Steve Irwin would say. RIP.

We moved on, and stopped in American Eagle. This was an excellent addition to the area, except I almost always, without fail, get talked into +/- 5 pairs of Aerie underwear. Aeropstale, the store I am always embarassed to get caught in, has also recently opened up. We also gave a moment of silence to DEB, the home of many last minute rushes for many a Tech fraternity formal event. Why spend good money if you know your date (or you) is eventually going to vom or pour a drink on it? Exactly.

As we walked out past Hot Topic and viewed this year's newest in the "Skank-girl-scout-halloween costume" genre, we were taunted by one of the many "professionals" in the assorted cell phone kiosks. He needed us to fill something out, or he would in fact loose his job. Our response? Maybe look for a more stable career. We kept walking.

We finished up the afternoon with a late lunch at West Side, where my BFF was as happy as ever. It was moderately embarassing when she expressed her suprise I didn't make a b-line for the liquor store, but all in all, excellent day.
