Oh, the humanity

I was at the Hugo Boss sample sale yesterday evening, and bought well over $12,000 of clothes and shoes for $2,000. It was a surreal scene, watching all the beautiful people dragging enormous plastic bags around and jamming merchandise into them with crazed looks in their eyes. Of course I was one of them, minus the "beautiful" part. All the while uniformed Boss staff were shouting out "do not open any packages!" and "using cell phones is forbidden!" It felt like a concentration camp processing centre, especially as we meekly trudged through the endless checkout line...

I didn't buy any unmentionables, but I found Googled this image for the ladies enjoyment. Sadly it's not me in the photo, but that's the kind of briefs I wear. Too much information perhaps? I did buy an amazing black leather jacket, two more jackets, three pairs of shoes, several pairs of pants and about a dozen shirts. Sheryl got me an additional 50% off some things using her staff discount. Even so, I spent a lot more than I should have. I picked out a beautiful cream-coloured short winter jacket with a fur ruff for Sheryl to think about since I got there before she did. It was priced at $300 instead of $4,000. It turned out she'd bought the same thing at last year's sample sale. No wonder I thought it would look good on her!
