And the sign says you've got to have a membership card to get inside....huh! The Mall, what was once a city within a city is now a large chunk of real estate holding 4 or more large department stores together. In the past, you could stroll into many different shops selling assorted goods and more crap for you to eventually give away or sell on eBaY. Now sadly, at least in my dying mall, its a string of empty stores sprinkled with a few die hard retailers like myself awaiting the few strolling shoppers or the ever vigellent mall walkers to come spend their hard earned moolah and social security checks. Most all the retailers in the mall have these huge posters in their windows to pimp their goods, some are informative, some are silly but the point is to seduce the shoppers mind. One day last week, one silly fella was seduced by one of those signs and now he can't come to the mall no more. The store was Lane Bryant, it was the week of Valentines day and their posters had some gorgeous ample babes romping around in pink and red delicates. Now the average person would think..."good for the chubbette dancing in her panties, I wonder if she waxes or shaves...hmmm", but to young shirtless, Starbuck's swilling, coming down from a night of 'X' fella it was apparently an image of a Siren or goddess of some sort. Security had been watching the young man, as he was shirtless, but of course that was forgiven due to his patronage at the coffee shop, none the less they watched him. Well, they watched him enter Lane Bryant go into the window and stand in front of the poster, and then they watched him lick the crotch of one on the ample honies. YIKES! Ummm.......yeah, so he was licking the crotch when security approached him and promptly escorted him out of the mall for exactly one year from his offense. My signs don't intice that kind of shopper. At best the books on my posters would bring fear of paper cuts. Oh well, what ever brings em' in....LOL.
