Ode to Gap Fitting Rooms
Went shopping today, which is not my favorite activity as a rule. However, I have to give props to the Gap for having the best dressing-room lighting EVER...going there really put me in a good mood today. I wish I could somehow package that light and carry it around with me, like in a little lamp that would hover perpetually over my head as I went around town. I look pretty fantastic underneath it, almost model-esque really--and that's even on a "fat day." Forget dieting...just get a dose of some Gap lighting! It will do the trick with a lot less sweat and starvation.
Not only did I get the benefit of seeing myself as the Gap mirrors do (oo-la-la), but I even accomplished my purpose for the shopping trip, which was to find a nice sweater to wear to this wedding on Saturday. Usually (and this is why I hate shopping) I drive around and visit a bunch of different stores, not finding what I'm looking for, and getting more and more cranky until finally I give up and go home in a huff.
Thankfully today's experience ended on the happy note of actually finding what I was looking for! Not to mention buying a few other nice things, which I actually look rather stunning in--at least, when I'm standing under Gap lighting.

i don't get how girls can proclaim themselves as having fat problems and looking stunning in the same post. it just somehow doesn't make sense to me. comments about waist size are usually expected for the 'you're not fat!' reassurance (often followed by, Yes! I am though!), kinda a hook for compliments... so how does it then follow that a girl can compliment herself?
:-D
anyway, not that i have a problem, just being a random uncomprehending male.
and Frogg, you look stunning in anything ;)

i know, it IS a bit of a strange anomaly, isn't it? i can't explain it...all i know is, i was having a fat day, but then i walked into the Gap fitting room and dang!!!
that's what makes the Gap fitting room so magical.
and thanks for the compliment! :)

a fat day??? oh, frogg! no! further proof that californians have a different perception of body type from people in the rest of the nation. not to be mean, but people really are much bigger in the midwest ... as you will see when you are in minnesota. (trust me - i've got family in wisconsin!)
but i have to chime in. some dressing room lights are more flattering than others. gap good, macy's bad, bad, bad!
