Weird Things I Have Seen in the Last Month

Here are some things that I have seen over the past month that actually made me stop and stare:

1. Stir-up Pants. On Sale. In a store selling current fashions. I almost bought them, just because. And really, stir-up pants make a lot of sense when you consider the boots over jeans trend.

2. A man kissing an owl. Although I generally don't like birds, I do think owls are quite lovely. Not enough to attempt to play tonsil hockey with one. Nor say things like 'come to daddy' or 'daddy loves you'. I was somewhat disturbed by the crazy man and his owls.

3. Today I saw a girl walking down the street in pantyhose and what I can only describe as a t-shirt. Not only was the shirt too short to pair with sheer tights (leggins, maybe, but not sheer tights) but the tights did not fit correctly. You know when the crotch of the tights doesn't actually come up to your crotch.... well that is what was happening here. I should not be able to see the crotch seams of your tights when you are walking down the street.

4. Snow. This might not seem unusual, to a Canadian, except for the fact that it did not snow here until late March. Also, I believe I caused this snow (!!!) when I said to [my true love] 'This is the first winter I have not had snow' only days before. Later he remarked to me that he had thought of me saying that when he saw the snow, so I think it's a good sign for the future of our relationship that he thinks about me in his free time;)

5. On this snow day (and by snow I mean just a few flakes....) it was quite cold. So I ventured off to town in full on snow gear (sweater, coat, mittens, boots). As I am strutting down the street freezing my nipples off, these three girls appear on the sidewalk dressed for what I can only imagine is a night out in Miami in the middle of August. Short sleeveless dresses with NO tights and NO coat. Needless to say they were shivering (duh!!!! it's friggin' snowing!) and then, in this weird apparel, popped into a pub (at 2 in the afternoon) where there CLUB WEAR would be very obviously out of place. At least put on a coat....

6. On one visit to the local pub, we spotted this (older) woman wearing a rolling stones t-shirt and a short skirt dancing around trying to pick up men.... At one point she was sitting on the picnic bench with her legs SPREAD out.... Ermmmmm........ she did get kicked out of the pub.

7. Tim Hortons.... in the middle of freaking London!!!! This sighting was followed by a photoshoot and a lot of passerbys staring at the freakish Canadians who were going wild over a self-serve Tim Hortons in a Spar convenience store.
