Thankfully, Hollister has not made it to Chile but I hate the ubiquitous blaring and headache-inducing cacophony which one has to tolerate in Young Person's shops. Invariably, they want you to spend a small fortune on rags. I am a Complete Embarassment too. It was within living memory that I was once considered the most wonderful woman in the world... Sigh.

The only reason you can tell it's an achingly cool shop is from the number of teenagers camped around the outside, texting. Probably to their friends INSIDE the shop.<br /><br />Embrace your status as Embarassing.

My youngest (10) was just directed to get deodorant for the play he is in and now my house smells like Axe Sahara Sand or something hideous like that. No he does not need it, but can't get enough applications! Of course my 13 year old boy, bless his heart, doesn't need it either yet and is totally indifferent still about the whole grooming process..<br /><br />Hollister! What an experience. Took my poor Mother in there at the holidays to buy the boys a T-shirt and thought she might have a seizure before we escorted her out. The darkness, music and smells were too much for her. She hasn't been back to the mall since!<br /><br />Love reading your blog!<br />Kim:)kim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-53091727644674725382012-01-29T20:22:09.182+00:002012-01-29T20:22:09.182+00:00hi blighty!
