Abercrombie

I’ve never worn anything from Abercrombie & Fitch. It’s not that I don’t wear clothes from mass chains, I just don’t really like going to that store. I’ve only been in there once, and every time I pass the shop in the mall, the place just…I don’t know, intimidates me I guess. There it is, with black shutters where windows should be. I hear music blasting from the inside, and my mind immediately slips to a trip to the gay clubs in Philadelphia. It’s this that I don’t get. The front of the store just screams pretentious, snob, dismissive. I thought that store fronts were to show off what the style and brand of the clothing line was. How can I tell if like what they are selling id the literally bar themselves off? And the music, it’s so loud and obnoxious! Why would I want a headache from shopping? I know, just rattling this stuff off in my head makes me feel like an old woman, complaining about some punk kids blasting The Ting Tings (I really like that new single, the one form the iPod commercial, and the video blows my mind, no not in that way you deviants), but that store just intimidates me I guess. It is as if they are saying, “We are better then you, and we know it, so keep walking. You could even afford our clothes if you wanted them!” So of course, this breeds resentment. Am I the only one who feels this way? I know I have a unique perspective on many things, but I hope this isn’t one of them. Also, I’m hoping for readers, especially ones who like to comment back, so if you exist, let me know!

P.S. Who are Abercrombie & Fitch anyway? Whenever I think of them, Lewis & Clark come to my head, but I’m sure the accomplishments of Mr. Abercrombie & Mr. Fitch are much more impressive…
