Saturday Shopping

Alfee and I went to the mall yesterday since we planned on seeing Batman: The Dark Knight and the Lynnhaven mall is right next to an AMC theater. We get there around 5pm and get tickets to the 9:50pm showing of the movie.
We were supposed to buy him some clothes, but I ended up walking away with two dresses, a tank top, a pair of shoes, and two pair of flip-flops. God, I swear he spoils me rotten. He dropped a lot of money last night.
This is what I got:
We went to Hot Topic first. I adore Kuromi because she’s just the cutest thing ever. I want light, thin tank tops to wear and I saw this Kuromi top and of course Alfee gets it for me because, like I’ve said, he spoils me rotten. I was all about the colors because it’s something I won’t get easily hot in. Great for wearing with jeans or with shorts. Sometimes it’s just WAY too hot to wear a regular shirt. So, the next time Alfee and I go to Busch Gardens Williamsburg or Colonial Williamsburg. It’s a totally comfortable top. I won’t mind sweating in it.
Isn’t this dress gorgeous? The dress has a gorgeous vintage look because of the type of top it is and because of the small frill at the bottom. It was on sale at JC Pennyys for $35, cut by half of its regular $70 price. The colors are white, brown and blue- all really pretty earth tones. This is the sort of dress that you go out in, I think, because it’s really nice and would be super easy to mess up. That’s the last thing I want. So, I have something nice to wear if Alfee and I go out to dinner or out some place where I have to look somewhat nice. What I like the MOST about this dress is that it tightens at the waist area in a way that it draws it in and gives you shape rather than expose all of your little bulges and stuff. I’m almost 30, okay! I have bulges.
This is my Billabong Lotus dress. Fortunately, this is a dress that I can get messy in. I found it at PacSun for about $43. It’s a really light cotton material, so it would be perfect for walking around outside in or going to the mall in. I need to protect myself against the hot, humid temperatures of Virginia. I absolutely LOVE this dress. You guys can’t even imagine how absolutely comfortable it is.
Afterwards, Alfee and I wanted to see Batman. When we went around 5pm to get tickets, everything until the 8:40pm showing was sold out. So, we bought for the next showing at 9:50. After shopping and drinking iced tea at Starbucks, we went to the theater around 9:10pm. The place was PACKED. There were, like, NO seats open. There was no attendant at the door checking tickets, so it was obvious some of the people in there weren’t supposed to be.
I refuse to sit in the front of the theater. I am not going to crane my head back to see a screen.
So, we went to customer service and exchanged for the next showing at 10:50pm. Hey, it was a Saturday night. Might as well. We were in line for the 10:50pm showing by 9:20pm. Yes, at that time, there was already a line! But, being that it was early, we were about the 10th people in line. By the time they let us in the theater at 10:00pm, there were two lines already. Alfee and I got good seats in the very back right in the middle. I was pleased as hell.
Let me tell you, the movie was awesome. It was LONG, but you barely notice the length of the movie with all of the action. Just when I thought Christian Bale couldn’t get more wonderful, he does. It was worth $20 and an hour a half wait in line, definitely.
