Shopping is Hell

Well, maybe you're not used to hear such a quote from a lady, but in fact it is more than exhausting to go shopping, when you're exactly 1,85 m tall (that's 6' 7" for the non-metric system, folks). And when you have just one winter's load of chocolade on the hips, it's not only humiliating and downbeating but downright staggering. Don't get me wrong - I'm not fat and I know. Unfortunately the fashion designers don't - or they want some extras for the fact they recognized there is women taller than Kylie Minogue. Meaning - if I want any decent looking clothes that don't look like my usual street fighter's outfit or like bags, I have to pay at least double. So I thought I'd take a chance and go shopping at an outlet of Thomas I. Punkt. Thomas I Punkt is the shop and concept behind the "Omen" Label. Omen is hell of expensive, but they have decent and funktional wear even in comparable bigger sizes.

Of course the bigger sizes were all but gone when I arrived, so I ended up at the Reeperbahn in the end. But Boutique Bizarre had no good selection of Mode Wichtig items this time. Doesn't matter, Hundertmark is just opposite across the Spielbudenplatz.

To keep it short: The jeans didn't fit. At least no pair I tried on. Unfortunately the new "Kapanen/Stalker" shop with always wanna-have items from Finland and a hot coffee to lift me up was closed as well. But... finally I got a Nokia DKU cable at the Aladin store and heureka! found a nice pair of trousers at the Darkside boutique. Let's see, what my fashion experts say to this hip-bliss of the Aderlass-label...

Ah, yes. Fortunately it was not all vain to run around in the "office desert" of Hamburg: The I-Punkt Skateland has changed the opening hours for old farts like me to wednesday evening. Next training ahead ;-)
