As is always the case in bookstores, I get overwhelmed and develop a fear of commitment and leave empty handed. But the coupon promised 25 percent off, so I decided to risk it and buy an expensive art book to replace the ones lost a few years ago in you-know-what
Blocking the aisle was a pretty early twenty something girl wearing red vinyl heels...and a white snood. That's right, a snood.
In 2009.
With her, was her "bff": a six foot six, 250 lb gay boy with highlighted hair, combed à la Zac Efron, mincing through the decorating books aisle like a chihuahua on a leash.
Miss Snood loaded up on a few hundred dollars worth of books, while her huge chihuahua barked pronouncements throughout the store about what he "loooooooooooooooved" and "h8ed!"
Finally they vacated the aisle.
Hmmmm...what should I buy? The art section was small, now that they'd pillaged it, but I finally, after a long time debating, decided on this:
The "extraordinary insight into his world of glamour, sex and fame!" had nothing to do with it.
Leaving, I nearly caved into my sugar lust/heat/boredom. I got in line for a Extra Grande Mocha Frappuccino®.
Thankfully the abs of God intervened:
I got an iced coffee instead.
Small, black, no sugar.
I mean really.
Not good merchandising strategy to have abs like that glaring accusingly at you when you're selling carbs, is it?
As I exited, Andrea Bocelli began operatically with what sounded suspiciously like Wham's classic "Careless Whisper"...in Italian. I lingered to hear the end, but when he started up (what sounded like) "Sukiyaki", I had to go.

you have a way with words,jason. did you buy the mag??? ryan reynolds is hot!
I’ve read at least three Andy Warhol books including the diary. You’ll find out the names of everybody who was and is somebody. It comes in handy for obscure references about obscure personalities. It always makes me feel as if I lived that life.
mincing like a chihuahua...You make me happy!
Regarding Ryan (who is a bit too sweet/cute for me)...what's that spot on a man called where the indentation on his hips leads down like an arrow to...? I adore that spot!
I can't believe that until now, I was unenlightened as to what a snood is.
I'm wearing a snood right now. It's my signature "career-gal" look for Mondays.
There should be a law that mandates Ryan reynolds should remain shirtless at all times....who can think about carbs with that vision...
Ye gods, I feel about snoods the way Thombeau worships the montilla!
