cory has been begging me to help him shop for his aunt's christmas gift for weeks now and i finally made it downtown to help him out. did i ever tell you all that i'm the queen of bargains? cory managed to get double the amount of stuff he needed for half the price in a quarter of the time. that meant we had time to celebrate before we had to get him back to the "real networks" offices for late night web crap (it's very technical, i think). while waiting in line to pay, we sa
w a scary white trash couple who talked like they had marbles in their mouths. the guy had shapes shaved into his hair and he stole a throw blanket in the children's department. we thought about tattling on them but it is christmas.
**yes, cory has permanently acquired my goggles and has been wearing them every day. he promised to buy me a new pair so i'm gonna find some really girly ones he'll never wanna wear. **
how best to celebrate? first we followed the sounds of screaming children to the fourth level of hell WHOOPS i mean Santa Land. we found these elf-e-quins much more disturbing than the big man so we posed for some ter
ror shots.
our next stop was the japanese dollar store where we nearly laughed ourselves sick reading the engrish translations of the safety warnings. "if the child and the sick with bath and toy in same do seek doctor for help with the sick." "do treat towel not violent." cory bought some folding paper boat toy (the first warning came off that) for himself and a parasol for me. it was hard not to laugh when the sweet japanese clerk told cory the parasol wasn't waterproof.
dinner time meant FOOD COURT where i ate pho and cory got a big mac. we shared a piece of strawberry cheescake at dilletante chocolate (it made me wanna cry, it was so good!) and watched them sweep up what was left of one of the picture windows at macy's where some angry shopper had hurled a chair through it (my theory, we don't know the truth). then it was back to work for him and home for me.

i am ALL about underwear and bedroom wear as outerwear. and of course you wear it well! keep it coming sister.
you plus robe equals a match made in heaven. it is GORGEOUS on you! as is everything... how can you even stop yourself from shopping, when everything looks so fab on you???
No kidding. Snow, I wish I could see the snow... Aye, check it, it was 72 degrees today. &D&%T+_)(R*HRU S U C K S!
But then I log on to see you in this frickin AWESOME robe dress. And you make it all better. Now all you need is a mini tophat.
You are a modern day flapper-dandy if I ever saw one!
this was such a fun outfit to wear to work. as soon as i put the robe on, i knew it wouldn't be coming off. my co-workers thought nothing of it - guess they've gotten used to my wardrobe antics! customers really went wild over it. one lady was really sad when i told her it was vintage. she wanted it so bad. what an amazing haunted threads score. thanks again!
