A Tad (Too) Late



I´m getting back on track, finally - this is the work of one morning!
Clothes I didn´t wear in ages go away.

It felt sooo good.

Also because I was 100% sure I bought my AUD 9,99 Kmart "wedding-dress" also in blue but couldn´t find it - I thought I must´ve lost my mind, which is scary!

But, no, one strap fell off the clothes hanger, making it hanging in the back!

Did you know that the Premier on display at Madame Taussauds is wearing a tuxedo from Kmart?

And yes, I made my peace with this store.
We arrived in Sydney in 1995, went to Kings Cross traveller´s car market(!), bought a car, drove to a shopping mall to get everything for our trip.
It must´ve been Coles or Woolies, we were also looking for an esky. We looked a lot for it and to be faster one of us went left, the other to the right.
I finally asked a young man from the staff.



He just said one word: "Kmart". Now, at school you learn marKEt, so I didn´t know what he meant.
No matter how I asked ("what is it", "where is it"... he just repeated "Kmart", I finally left, Ingo found me with a mad face and asked if I found out anything.
I just snapped "Kmart!!!". Well, Ingo´d been in Australia before and replied "ah, ok, let´s go."
I was about killing him ;-)

Well I got my blue dress, but sadly now too cold to wear it this year - hope next summer will be as great as this one!



Lion of the day.

You've been busy! I loved the KMart story. A lot of them here have closed. I especially miss the one up north -- it was convenient!

We for a coule of years had a Walmart, was fun shopping there!

Funny that I hardly ever go to Kmart, I prefer Target, even their clothes seem to be better quality.
I like the fact that the Premier at Madam Taussauds is wearing a Kmart tuxedo, lol.

Hmmm. I didn´t like Target that much - maybe it has changed - I´ll give it a go then :-)
Yes, isn´t it too cute with the tuxedo (I haven´t seen it myself, just heard about it).
