Consumer Society

I guess we really do live in a consumer society now, Mikey and I seem to have done nothing for 3 days but shop, shop and shop some more. We've had a laugh doing it and got some real bargains in the approach to Christmas. I think this is the third year running I have spent over $100 on underwear in one go, but you simply have to wear Calvin Klein dont you?

We had lunch in the roughest part of town meeting Mikeys friend from work in the tenderloin. Even she said that there were crack addicts on every corner so we left sharpish and made our way to Union Square and the big stores we love and trust. Gap, Ambercrombie & Fitch, Bloomingdales, Ruehl (Top end A&F) and hooked up with another of Mikeys friends Eric. Eric lives in London and we ran into him at the mall and did some retail therapy together.

Have got a fair few christmas presents sorted but no idea what to buy Dusan. I have to ship it to Fort Lauderdale. Will shop again tomorrow and find him something suitably fabulous. Tomorrow we plan on hanging out in Castro and doing a final shop and then its home sweet home! All good things have to come to an end eh? Besides, its far too cold here for us!
