I owe some of you an apology. I questioned your sense of style in my first post when I commented on those of you who choose to wear fleece pj bottoms into wal mart as if they are couture. Well, now I know why. Right up at the front of the store are racks and racks of brightly colored fleece pajama pants, all sporting different characters: Tinkerbell is there, & so is Betty Boop, and Tweety Bird! Couple that with insanely low prices, and voila! Who could pass up such a deal? I mean, who cares if your whole wardrobe consists of cartoon-character-studded fat pants? As long as you have the cushy, feels-like-slippers-but look-like-plush-flip-flops to accompany them! You are true bargain shoppers! It's not your fault, it's the marketing gurus up in Bentonville AK who can take the credit for this clothing phenomenon!!
So as long as this holds true, I must assume that back in the beauty section, they also have unbelievable deals on do-it-yourself hair color. So incredible, in fact, that you bought not one, not two, but three different colors and decided to streak your hair with all three! So now you're a dirty blond with chunks of burgundy, black, and cobalt. Nice.
So hats off to you, wal mart shoppers. You are truly taking advantage of the rollback pricing, and thoroughly enjoying your freedom as an American citizen. (You think you could wear Betty Boop and blue hair into a wal mart in Prague? I'm thinking not.)
You just can't get more American than that. So next time I see one of you when I'm in Wal Mart, I'm going to enjoy that little slice of Americana and be thankful that I have the right to choose what color my hair is and what kind of britches I'm gonna wear when I head out to rack up on those crazy deals...
