That’s funny about the Swedish guy! I was shopping in England some time ago, and some shops have communal fitting rooms! All men, or all women, not co-ed obviously. Like in a gym. Except people in gyms usually aren’t embarrassed to undress in front of others because they work out. Anyway, that was weird.

There was a store here that had a communal dressing room, but I can’t now remember which one. Probably because once I found out about the communal room, I never went back.

Shopping for clothes just sucks! I’m kind of happy (sorry, but I am!) to see that it’s not just “up here” but down where you are as well! Rejoice in the fact that you weren’t shopping for a swimsuit! ;-)

The last time I tried on swimsuits, some guy walked right into the fitting area to see what his girlfriend was trying on. We all yelled at him to get out, and after he did, his girlfriend said, “sorry, he’s Swedish.” Oh, okay! Come on back then!

How odd that I am commenting right after Lara since it was she who directed me to come over here post haste! And I think she used those exact words, “Post haste!”

I hate shopping but I’ve always wanted to wear a hat and can’t resist trying them on. However, it just reaffirms that I can’t wear hats. My head’s too big. No, really. I have a ginormous head. I think that a tassel hanging next to my gargantuan head would only make it appear even larger.

My head is Hulk-sized as well. When I graduated from college and was measured for my cap, the guy did it three times because he couldn’t believe it. Creep.

God, I love you. I’m so glad that I’ve decided to make an effort to be a Good Internet Citizen and actually read blogs other than my own every once in a while. You complete me.

If you really loved me, you would send me some clothing. I’ll even take those pants from Old Navy that keep changing sizes. I AM JUST THAT DESPERATE!

I have just read about half a dozen of your posts in place of paying attention to this god-awful conference call that I am on, and I am pretty sure I peed my pants laughing. Nice work.

Even though you don’t have power steering, I’m going to add you to my blogroll. Please continue cracking me up.

That is all.

Sorry about your pants. I would lend you some of mine, but I’m running short on clothing these days. Also, I am going to add, “better than a god-awful conference call” to my list of potential future tag lines.

I guess there’s one good thing about living in Atlanta. It doesn’t really get all that cold down here except for a couple of days out of the year. I think I only own one sweater and I never wear it unless I’m going to be outside all day because it’s too hot to wear inside. I’ve owned the sweater for about 6 years and I’ve probably worn it 4 times. I basically change to my winter wardrobe by stuffing my white flowy skirt to the back of the closet and I start wearing my boots instead of sandals with my pants. Or maybe I’m the only one in Atlanta who does that because I hate clothes shopping so much.

If I still have a blog next May, I’ll have a very similar post, except instead of being unable to find sweaters and shoes that don’t look like Halloween costumes, I won’t be able to find t-shirts and shorts that don’t look like ho-wear.

Eddie Bauer is my style, thank god, or I would be wearing jammie pants all day, everyday. Weren’t we all supposed to be wearing unisex body suits by now? Color coordinated with our jet packs? Eating five course meals from a tube? And communicating telepathically?

I am also annoyed that my car does not fly. I was promised a flying car.

I don’t feel so bad now that I have no money to buy clothes. At least when I spend all my money filling my gas tank, I know it will fit. (Well, except for that one time when the automatic shutoff thingy didn’t work and gas spewed all over the ground. And my feet.)

That’s how I feel when I buy DVDs and books. I know that I’ll enjoy watching the DVDs and I’ll also enjoy stacking the books up in a big pile and thinking about how I should really read them sometime.

I have been thinking lately that I need to brave the mall and find something to wear. Thank you for reminding me what a waste of time that will be.

My goal is to get everyone to stop shopping, so that everyone will look as woefully unfashionable as I do.

I don’t do stores anymore. I shop on the internet. And yes, our postmaster sees me carrying teetering piles of to be returned packages quite often. But so much better than the alternative. And if I need to look like a just cooked sausage, I’d prefer to do it in my own home.

My problem is that I’m far too lazy to box stuff up and return it. So I would either end up with things that don’t fit at all and I’d just leave them hanging in the closet with the tags on, or with things that kind of fit so I’d wear them even though they look like ass. But if it weren’t for my complete indolence, shopping online would be a good alternative, just because then I wouldn’t be at the mercy of the Buyers who stock our local stores.
