The crowds were disappointing this year, to say the least, but never fear it was still fun for us. Perhaps due to the storms just hours before, or perhaps there was a general lack of enthusiasm this year.
Initially we saw maybe 10 people or less in front of Myer and over 100 outside of David Jones, so we thought something exciting must be going down at David Jones, but after some condescending instructions from a security guard we decided to join in on the fun outside Myer.
The camera crews didn't arrive until just before 5.

Some initial scouting of myer revealed that the bargains weren't really bargains at all. The few things that did catch my eye were still bloody expensive.
We took a break at Brunetti's and giggled over the 'faggotino' (aka a chocolate croissant), which we later bought and ate. Jenny met up with us soon after but her shift started at 7am so she had to leave.
Then drove Sylvia home and was off to Chadstone, was only there for a short while with Daniel, and by the time I was there all the good stuff (at least in my size) was gone :( Boohoo. Next year I'm going to go to chaddy in the morning. Eventually bought a set of Calvin Klein underwear, truly the most comfortable ones I own to this day.
That day I came to the sad realisation that I love love love heels, yet I never wear them as I am just that lazy. I own 5 pairs that are fairly high, which isn't that many for most girls, but for someone who wears them a couple of times a year they're going to waste. Ugh. See my excuse is that I don't go clubbing, I don't go anywhere that requires me to be dressed up, and I wouldn't wear heels more than 8cm high on a casual day because I like to be comfortable.
Next post: Christmas presents and most likely an unnecessary rant about life.
Love Lisa.
