So not Robinson's

seoul's designer mecca is the galleria in apgujeong. it's prim, pretty and pearlescent by day...

but is cutesy crazy by night!

i think this is an excellent strategy -- the japanese will naturally gravitate towards this ultra-kawaii display, leading them to blow wads of cash there, which they do.

i didn't buy anything and went for purely research purposes, as you can probably guess. the closest thing i could afford was my $2 lunch at new york hotdog across the street.


i wondered what a woman with a whopper of a goyard was doing at the hotdog stand. maybe she blew all her money on her bag and is now reduced to buying cheap meals. or maybe not.

the galleria has its fair share of head-to-toe-designer, impeccably dressed women hovering around. then there are women like this one, who are of the olsen school of fashion, which means basically ok lang magmukhang busabos basta nakakagalit ang presyo ng bag mo. you've got to hand it to them, it takes an odd form of guts to do that.

i mean, even the traffic aides around the galleria are dressed better. 


pero sa bagay, wala naman silang goyard.
