Followup on my bathingsuit post from earlier


I decided on Hollister as my place to go for it.
I went on their website (the design is very difficult to navigate, It took about 10 minutes for me to figure out where the catalogue was. It's one of those sites that's pretty and the person obviously knew how ot make websites but forgot the fact that it actually needs to be able to help people.)

It took me a little bit to figure out where the entrance was because they have a bunch of things that look like doors but are not really doors
First thought was wow the music is really loud
And though was my brain is going to die from exposure to too much pop punk

But I journyed forward

I walked around in circles for awhile asking diffrent people where the guys swim suits were before I finally found them
They had a secret code word for them "board shorts"

I found the one I'd picked out online
It was blue but the internet made it look black but that was fine.
As nmy icon can tell you I'm a big fan of the color blue

Then I picked out a bikini top to go with it

I found the line for the dressing room
it was very long
You've think that an expensive store like that would want to make it easier ot buy their stuff
But it was like it was supposed to be Darwin clothing shopping. Only the strongest and most dedicated could survive the line.
Some failed and were pulled out by angry parents tired of waiting.
but some (me among them) prevailed.

I kept thinking that I was seeing people I reconised from school but then I realized that it was just because everyone was dressed so simlar that it was confusing my brain.
There was one girl though who was dressed amazingly. It was obvious all her clothing was from places like abercombie and this store but she put everything together so well and in interesting ways and her hair looked amazing in this intentionaly messy of center pony tail
So I stared in awe of her awesome fashion sense.

In the dressing room. I was suprised how tiny it was.
But the light was wierd
it was overhead and didnt light the whole teeny tiny dressing room
I felt like I was in an interogation room.

I tried on the clothing
I liked how it looked

So I departed and waited in another long line ot pay (More Darwin clothing shopping)
This one wasn't as long though. I guess many people didnt survive the fitting room line's natural selection so only a few were left for this 2nd line
There was a live tv picture of some beach in california on the wall
It was pretty sketchy
I wouldnt want to be broadcasted to stores across the country if I went to the beach.

Then after paying I left and fled to the apple store
And on the ride home I let my ears recover from overexposure to loud music that sucked.

One of my wierder clothing shopping experiences but at least I accomplished my mission:)

Hahaha, Darwin shopping...

Glad you found it :D I was wondering how the Hollister store was - they have an overly fancy storefront, but kind of sketchy as well...glad you found what you were looking for :D

Any chance you'll tell us what it's for?

Hm sounds like a journey to hottpic but you're getting jabbed by kids who forget not to wave their arms when they have spikes all over their pudgey little bodies.

I applied for a job at Hollister and when I had to spend more than 5 minutes in the store when I went for the interview, I wanted to rip my ears off. The music is terrible, and they play it so loud that you can't avoid it at all.

I'm glad you found a bathing suit though!
