Yes, I have acquired the most awesome thing in the world and shall no longer want for anything. Allow me to relate the epic story:
It was late one Thursday evening. It was too late, in fact, as my favorite shopping buddy and I were busing it over to downtown SF, trying to make it on time to the FNO party at the Betsey Johnson store on Geary Street. Said party was to have free champagne and cupcakes. What more can I say? We were hurrying!
After beating back the crowd of Union Square shoppers we came to the correct intersection, but to our dismay witnessed throngs of ladies with their lovely, hot pink Betsey bags coming out of the store. We had missed the party and, thereby, the free goodies. Certainly not being ladies who hang around looking only for freebies like the seagulls from Finding Nemo, we browsed the store for lovelies to adopt. It was my first time at the Geary store and I was glad at the wide selection. Not seeing anything particularly eye-catching, we trolled the jewelry counter, as is tradition. Naturally, I wanted everything, but as far as finding that one special thing I wasn't having much luck.
It was then that my friend looked in the case and saw an awesome, red telephone booth necklace. I remarked, "Oh, how cute!" However, before I could remove my eyes, my friend gasped something similar to, "OMG @#$%*! Look at THAT!"
Yes. It was the Mother of all Mothers. Not only that, but the gracious ladies behind the counter produced a second one (and the last) for me to purchase. We seem to have glorious luck in buying two of the last of any awesome piece of jewelry whenever we shop. I think the fashion gods have been more than gracious, and I feel it is my responsibility to resist begging at their feet for awesomeness for quite some time. I have a freaking Magic Mermaid Talisman!
Mermaid Power!!!
Oh, and we did not live happily ever after. All hot n' bothered after such an illuminating shopping experience, we had to eat pizza and cool our jets at Forever 21. Thusly, we unloaded and loaded up on some cheap goodies...
