Strangeness at Steinmart...Redux

As always, Steinmart never disappoints.

A recent visit there, just as the one I chronicled back in the late winter, met my expectations.

Where else can one find such a plethora of oddly ruffled, pucked, bejeweled, fringed fashion...a whole non-sequitar of bling, bad taste and things that simply make you go hmmm.

I just don't get it. I don't even know what to say.

Do people really buy things like this? They must.

Steinmart keeps stocking them.

Damn! It's Good to Be a Gangsta...

This picture of a snapshot hanging on a friend's refrigerator really makes me laugh.

They want so bad to be gansta and chill with their homies.

But they're white boys. In middle school. Who live in the 'burbs.

Granted, it's an inner ring 'burb...but still.

It's just really funny.

What Do You Think This Is and Where Can You Find It?

Came across this interesting little item in a local store.

Anyone care to hazard a guess what it is and what kind of store sells it?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Give up?

It is hanging on a peg rack at a pet store.

It's a....DOG TOY!

What on earth did you think it was?!?!?!
Get your minds out of the gutter.
Sheesh!

America's Real Crack Problem...

Ok. Everytime I see this in public, I wonder...doesn't it feel breezy? Can't you tell half your backside is hanging out for all to see?

I wear low-rise jeans, too. Not this low, but low enough to feel slightly abashed when I crouch down...and yes...I am aware that I might be having some crack issues and quickly resume standing.

But this...this...you wanted to avert your eyes, yet it was so pronounced and obvious that you simply could not look away.

Mas! Mas, Senor! Me Gusta Mucho Su Burrito!

This just makes me laugh. Reapeatedly.

It hangs in a restaurant window on Tower City Center's 2nd floor. I see it at least several times a week as I go to and from the Tower City parking garage to my office in the Terminal Tower.

It's just funny. For a myriad of reasons. I'm snickering immaturely even now as I am writing this and looking at it.

I'm not even sure I could order it without giggling. Kinda like that Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity at IHOP.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Must. Get. Ahold. Of. Myself.

Whew. Ok. But wait...I just noticed you can get the Pork variety. Oh man...HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hippie? Or...Hawaiian?

We're not sure. Perhaps Masa here isn't sure, either.

Why not YOU be the judge.

Accepting votes between now and November 4!

Peace out, my friends.

Red alert...

Note to self: No one ever should wear red pants after the age of 6.

It's just not a good look. On anyone.

Especially with white sneakers.

I have to look away now.
