Do you make more of an effort to look nicer now?

Oh, I have to tell you, I have a completely apropos story to this. We went to Ikea today to look for a place to stash the kids' toys. There was this woman there, *maybe* in her late 20s.

Cropped denim jacket with rolled cuffs, little pink cropped top, the shortest white shorts I have EVER seen (true, she was probably a size 4/6, but DAMN, they were tiny!). High heeled strappy patent leather gold and pink mule sandals, Lucite jewelry and one of those giant leather flowers on her wrist a la Carrie Bradshaw (Sex in the City). Oh, and a pair of those gianormous big bug-eye sized dark sunglasses (think Lenny Kravitz). Indoors. On the phone, while searching through her kitchen sink-sized handbag.

The kicker was iridescent and gold body lotion. And crazy poufed 'do.

Uh, lady. You're in Ikea. In Elizabeth, NJ. Across the highway from Newark Airport.

I saw her again while I was getting in the car. She was *still* on the phone, but was now carrying her lucky bamboo plant. Gotta love it.:huh2:

Lizzy, people watching is one of my all time fave sports. Oh, and my honeymoon was in SF/Sausalito/Woodside. We even drove down to Monterey to the aquarium to see the otters. They were awesome :smile2:
