WHEW I like malls. That's why I'm happy that Quartz (who?) has announced that malls will never die, and the reason makes sense: because teenage girls will always exist. It's a social millieu as well as a shopping experience. Seriously, it is! C'mon, don't be such a skeptic. It's possible teen girls go to the mall to see and be seen.

That's the theory, anyway. But adults like them too. There's no substitute for looking at something, feeling the fabric between your fingers. I've never bought a shirt in a store, got it home, and said "that's not the same color." Whereas just about every shirt bought online in a color other than WHITE was different than the picture. Come to think of it, even the whites were different.

Sorry; that's it today. Busy day. Interesting day. See you around.
