I recently visited this store. I am a fan of this store, and have loved their products for a while. I still do:

On my recent trip, I asked about working there during the Christmas season. "A" (a girl) proceeded to tell me about their new massage bars ( it is like a soap, only it is supposed to release oils or something unique as it is massaged into your skin). She gave me a lengthy arm massage as she demonstrated the massage bars, and then asked me, "now, would you feel comfortable doing the same thing on me???????????"
I said yes. However, I was actually thinking, are excellent arm-massage skills vital to working at a British Columbia-based retailer that sells high-priced soap?
It was hard to effectively massage her arm because she had a million bright tattoos of hearts, and the like. After the 'massage' she gave me a very sad look... obviously she did not approve of my massage skills, meaning that obviously I am not Lush material.
While only minorly scarring, I am sure the whole thing was slightly uncomfortable for anyone watching.
Part II...
I visited the "new" H and M, which contained a flurry of obssessive shoppers, and rude cashiers.
Part 3:
Also at Northpark, I witnessed a woman walking out of Urban Outfitters, possibly with her boyfriend, wearing an unattractive blue dress. The dress was weirdly ordered and partially open in the back, revealing part of her lower back. Kind of similar to: an odd beach cover up. The dress was only slightly showing her back, but I think she really wanted to be wearing a dress like this:

Part 4:
Can You Get Into 5 Deuces?...
Apparently there is a new club opening in Dallas called "5 Deuces." However, the way it is written is "Deu5h." Whatever that means.
You may view a portion of their site, which explains how to get in: do not go to this cheesy club.
Once you visit the site, you will further understand that: not only do they have a strange, dare I say "slutty-looking" model on their web site (which is supposed to make you WANT to go to the club), but any interested candidates are required to send a "photo/bio" in order to be considered a 5 Deuces partygoer. What kind of a "bio"?? I have a feeling they don't care if you went to Harvard.
When I called 786-529-Club, I heard an advisement to leave a message if one is having trouble with their "code."
After that, a man with a very scary voice advises innocent callers, "You Will Not Get Into The Club This Way!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go to the web site."
Darn.
Keep listening to whatever u like,
Yours Truly,
