Spotted in a storefront at the mall while Christmas shopping. Sorry about the image quality, but if you can see past the reflection, it’s a female mannequin with a reindeer’s head, wearing what appears to be a corset, a tutu, full-length gloves and a white beehive (hairstyle).
Gramma got mashed up with a reindeer?
As near as I can tell, all they sell are iPod/iPhone accessories. But they’re right across from the Apple Store.
We are South Coast Plaza of Borg. You will be overstimulated!
Seriously, after only 20 minutes at the mall on Saturday, I was already feeling overwhelmed. The children’s choir singing "Holly Jolly Christmas" right outside the first store did not help!
I miss the Ghirardelli shop. It was my favorite way to just retreat from the madness that is South Coast Plaza during the Christmas shopping season and prepare myself for the next hour or two.
Oh, yeah…here’s a better photo of the bridge and the mall segment formerly known as Crystal Court.
We made our first Christmas-season foray into South Coast Plaza over the weekend. Well, really, we just walked over there to grab something at the Coffee Bean after a late lunch at Finbar’s at Metro Pointe, then walked back…but it was a taste of the holiday insanity of the mall. Especially that mall. (Usually I try to avoid it during the holiday season, but I always seem to end up making at least one trip.)
Anyway, the phrasing on this sign just struck us both as odd. Okay, obviously, these valves control the water for Macy’s, which was right on the other side of the shrubberies. But why Macy’s domestic water? Is there another pipe for foreign water?
The Spectrum food court has ripped out the planters. I guess they realized they needed the floor space after they chopped off one end.
It’s Halloween, so Target has the Christmas decorations up!
