Get Down On It!
A new store just opened on my street, where a men’s shop used to be. This men’s shop kind of sucked. So I was hoping something useful would pop up in it’s place. Like a bookstore or a music store or a natural foods store with a bulk section (I LOVE bulk sections shut up) or a candy shop or a musical instrument shop or a nice, chill bar or a place with really excellent coffee or a shop that serves stuff on toasts or a place that only sells kale because kale is tasty or a place that teaches you how to tie bowties or maybe a public living room where you can go and hang out and watch TV and cook dinner or a place with ping pong and pinball. What i mean to say is that the potential for awesome was very, very high.
It’s a store called Wool and the Gang hahaha The tagline is “Crazy Sexy Wool”. This is where you can insert your own pun (Angela already said Celebrate Wool Times, Come on!) It is a high-end yarn place. Like fancy ass yarn. Fancy fancy yarn made by some ladies in some part of some place with some kind of animal raised on some kind of organic business so that it grows some kind of magical hair or fur that gets shaved and then spun by children with large dewy eyes and nimble fingers and during lunch they run around in mountain meadows. Mind you there is ANOTHER fancy yarn place a block away. This other yarn place happens to be expensive too. Can someone tell me WHY does my neighborhood need ANOTHER fancypants yarn place? Why not a Target or a Commes Des Garcon pop-up store or a place that lets you play with kittens and ducklings by the hour? A YARN store? Seriously, people. It’s bad enough there’s two doggie lifestyle places in my neighborhood.
Oh I meant to mention that this place also has dog sweaters. Dogs don’t need sweaters. They are born with sweaters already. That is what makes dogs rad. They come clothed, it is awesome. So now, in a block, there are three places where one can buy doggie sweaters. This is NOT including the American Apparel down my street which also has doggie clothes, but those aren’t sweaters, more like gold lamé unitards. For dogs. Obviously. Duh.
i have to say that you are indeed ON FIRE today…or was it your toast that is on fire…or are YOU on fire with cannibals or zombies chasing after you?!
i know you won’t be buying any doggie sweaters but hope you found a toaster (i prefer the vertical type sans the oven part, although the oven types do allow for cheese and other ocoutrements (sp))…as for the wallet…check out one in HEMP…when it breaks you can smoke it!
It was a dark day in the history of humanity when they made the Snuggie for dogs. Clearly these clothes for dogs people must be stopped.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I look forward to the day when it is possible to go from cradle to rehab reading only Annie Choi-branded text.
Fancy-ass wool yarn will not be at all helpful during the coming apocalypse in 2012.
Proof that my brain isn’t 100% loaded post-swine flu: I posted 3xs as Elena instead of Ms. Bizarro.
