the latest thing...

so yesterday i went to Chanel and Hérmés with my fashion class. i was definitely more impressed with the latter. Chanel's focus is definitely on the accessory items that tourists can afford and their store was sort of boring. i'm getting ready to finish my paper now and i may post it so anyone can read who's interested.

so last night was really hoppin' at the fiap. a new pack of 14 year old girls arrived from Greece, as well as another group from America--you could tell my the loud yelling and cursing at midnight. also, the room below mine must have been a drinking rendevous point. i heard things like "get me a shot!" and "aaaah, get some water get some water...oh god, water water...its in my hair, aaaah...#@*%...put it out put it out." i can only assume they were smoking something illegal.

the two highlights of the evening i would say were that i heard a bit of a scuffle and looked out to see policeman interviewing people. an american guy was involved and so i came to understand there was some sort of fight. then they left.

the second highlight is the best...there were these guys that were stalking the building for over an hour. don't know what they were doing. but the best is that the one guy was playing music...from his cell phone. like, hispanic pop music. from the cell phone. Jackie says, "oh my god, they're playing music from their car," and i said, "um, no, that's from his phone." we couldn't believe it.

eventually they left. no harm done.

another funny anecdote. on the metro Jackie heard these girls say "oh, i like her shoes...oh, they're okay...i like her shirt" while they were looking right at her. so she realized they were talking about her, and thought she didn't understand english. but to illustrate how stupid they must be she also heard one girl say that her name is brittney, with a diamond over the i. not a heart even...a diamond.
