window shopping at shang

Feb 03, 2008 23:55

My grandparents usually go out every other night to walk around in malls; it's very genius, really; I believe it's the classiest way you can do cardio.

I went with them tonight, to clear my head after all that happened. Then, two very gold-digger cousins suddenly got interested in going with me when they heard we were going to Shang, which had this midnight sale going on. As I expected, they both led my grandmother to stores like Lacoste and Hugo Boss and came out with lots of very nice things.

My grandmother was all, "oh, as long as you do not smoke or drink or go dancing, I can buy you anything you want!" and the word 'bribe' hung in the air around us, and I have no idea why.

I left them for awhile to walk around myself. I saw lots of happy couples, and felt better looking at them.

We were in Hugo Boss where I saw a really beautiful brown bomber jacket. It was buttery-smooth, and the lining was just beautiful, and it fit me perfectly. Then I spied the price tag and it said "24,000" so after a moment of complete shock, I zipped myself up, went to a mirror, and snuggled it extra hard before putting it back.

It was a very nice night though; while the two cousins were looking for fancier things they could buy, my grandmother picked out a pair of cufflinks and a leather passport holder for my grandfather. His birthday was coming up and he was resting somewhere in the mall. We surprised him when we got home, and he said something like "oh how wasteful" and then kissed her, and they held hands as they went up the stairs. It was the sweetest thing I had seen in awhile.

the shang, the thinking place, okay night, night out, little luxuries, behold the family
