So my sisters and I decided to go to the state's biggest mall today for some reason, maybe because we're gluttons for punishment? Anyway, besides the long lines, traffic and general crowd issues, we ran into...activists.


As we're leaving the mall, waiting at a very busy intersection, a huge crowd of anti-J.Crew protesters decides to "attack" all the cars. They are protesting J.Crew's use of fur, and they proceeded to run up to all the cars and press horrifying photos of skinned animals against my windows. It was, in a word, awful. 


I should say that I am 100% anti-fur, and I no longer shop at J.Crew because they sold coyote fur. I don't even believe in fake fur. But I was so disgusted by these people I almost started crying. I wanted to yell at them, "I know!!!" Ugh. I am 100% for animal rights, but I can't imagine these people doing any good.


On another, happier note -- I swear I saw FashionPrincess' twin today. FP, if you're reading this, she clearly could have been your double! I literally did a double take. You weren't in Scottsdale today, were you?

Hey girl!  I'm soo sorry that happened to you.  Some people have no respect for others.  You were sitting in your car at an intersection.  They don't know if you went into J.Crew or not.   They had no idea who you were and what your beliefs are.  That was the wrong way to get their message across, and I think they were completely out of line.


 I contimplated going to Fashion Square today, but it's such a long day to drive out there and deal with the throngs of people, that I chickened out.  I was there last weekend and the weekend before and found some good deals.  I went to Arrowhead for about an hour and a half this morning.  It was nuts.  That mall is so dissapointing.  I just wandered around aimlessly, people watching, and then I went to Target and came home.

Ughhhh! I hate Arrowhead! It is basically the only mall in the NW and it sucks. Which is too bad, b/c there's a lot of money in that area, and it all ends up going to Scottsdale stores.

People in my home town got arrested at Walmart. I guess a crowd was fighting for the same items and physical fights broke out. How sad some people are! Holidays are supposed to be fun!

Nope, wasn't in Scottsdale today   I'm not sure the world is ready for two FP's   Although, maybe we should hunt her down and she could be my stunt double if I ever make any movies, hehe!

On our local news tonight they showed a local Wal Mart opening this morning and people running to get inside.  One lady tripped and was literally being trampled, but her wig had fallen off, so they showed her laying on the ground and getting her wig back on while people were stepping on her!  Then she got up, dusted herself off, and ran into the store.  Some people are crazy!!!

She was even wearing pink! Crazy! You never had any Single-White-Female-type roommates, did you? LOL. For what it's worth, I am sure you are much cuter IRL!
