I love shopping for clothes. It makes me happy. I shop at stores with some of the worst advertising campaigns in history. I love new clothes and designer purses. What I love the most though, is the MALL.
The mall is one of my favorite places because a lot of my favorite memories happened there. When I was a child, I remember my mother taking me to Stratford Square Mall. I remember being fascinated by all the water fountains, the tan square tiles that were slightly uneven and the trees in the middle by the food court. The water fountains and tiles are no longer there, but the last time I was at Stratford I noticed those awesome fake trees have made a triumphant comeback! There also used to be this bitchin elevator that was all glass and came down into the middle of one of the fountains. That was so cool and I wish they still had that. We also used to have lunch at Houlihans. That restaurant looked totally rad. The ceiling wasn't flat. It was almost like waves and large bumps. Maybe if someone else remembers, they can explain it better in the comment section.
When I got older, the mall became my hang out place. Dana and I were always at Stratford Mall. One of my favorite memories, though, is of Oakbrook Mall. In the autumn time, Dana's mother would take us there. We always had a blast making fun of people, and I always liked looking at the overpriced designer clothes.
I go to the mall whenever I'm feeling lousy. It's guaranteed to cheer me up. I'm sure I'm a bad person for spending my money there and on items that were made by children. However, few things make me happier than a new bra and a cute purse. My sincerest apologies, Ms. Gloria Steinem.
