Freak of the type who go to the mermaid parade and dare to wear something not sold at the mall. Your absolutely right shopping centers are the epitomy of what is wrong with out multicountry capitalismo culture! Keep being freaked out by the "unfreaks".Robyn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428062273867393186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280578509642094200.post-76642166895683218002007-06-14T21:46:00.000-07:002007-06-14T21:46:00.000-07:00You think freaks love a flea market: I think the r...You think freaks love a flea market: I think the real freaks are in shopping centres. In Garden City Shopping Centre, Perth, my sis and I saw girls dressed as milk maids (working at a place called 'miss maid'). We were served by a frighteningly and rudely efficient girl at Sanity (forgive us!) - who said "I'm on to it babes"; so this is what America is like! The biggest shock came near the end of our trip when we saw some people smiling. They were the first we'd seen in a few hours.<BR/>Contrasted with Mum's weekly print making group at Freo Arts Centre. Women of different ages and backgrounds making art, talking about life, children, politics, environment. Life's too short to go shopping - unless it's at a flea market!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280578509642094200.post-82020984610704684092007-05-24T22:36:00.000-07:002007-05-24T22:36:00.000-07:00Yes pav,Sometimes Travel means staying in your own...Yes pav,<BR/><BR/>Sometimes Travel means staying in your own city and moving from house to house to library to yoga class the comedy show to cafe by bike.
