whiski_sourI love gift cards. I got several of them for Christmas and one for my birthday (after the FedEx guy finally delivered it and Carrie found where he hid it...ass). And much to Carrie's ire, I can use all of them online with the exception of the food ones, because for whatever reason, Cold Stone won't mail me ice cream.
Anyway, one of my gift cards is for Hot Topic and I haven't been to the site in ages. I decided to go looking around for goodies I'd like to own. The clothing is too teenybopper goth for my non-existant style (I'm currently sporting my Camp Crystal Lake ringer tee and green army issue camo pants and not just because I did laundry today), but OMG! PLUSHIES! PINS! HATS I'LL NEVER WEAR!
And then I checked out the shoes. Call it morbid curiosity since Carrie says my shoe collection is horribly lacking. Now, I know Hot Topic is a popular place for people to shop, so this only leads me to one conclusion:
The girls buying boots at Hot Topic are either walking around looking like hookers circa 1985 or like they've just come from Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake's garage sale. Which I suppose is fine if you want to look like you'll have sex for money or like to give people flying elbows from the top rope.
I think there's some truth to the whole "ignorance is bliss" thing because I would imagine if I were more educated in fashion, I'd weep. But, since I'm just a different variety of fashion victim, I can only point and laugh and hitch up my camo pants.
