People who think differently than me

I'm not so wild about that title, is it proper english? I took a trip to Target on Saturday and learned a lot. Do I live a sheltered life? Do I need to shop more often so as not to be surprised by commonplace items? I dunno. I am not saying these things are wrong, just DIFFERENT.
I saw this vehicle earlier this fall at Target. It is a very large hot pink Hummer with the vanity plate "Hether". Now, again, I'm not judging. I drive a (14 year old) Ford Explorer, so I'm not throwing stones at the SUV community. It's just HUGE. PINK. And named Heather. (Remind me to tell you sometime about my two college roomates named Heather. It was hard to take phone messages: "Can I talk to Heather?" which Heather? "The Blond one" They are both blond, please be more specific. "The Cheerleader?" They are both cheerleaders, please be more specific.) This is just such a CONFIDENT vehicle.


This is a new Sleeping Beauty Barbie. As you can see, it has "magical lights and sounds". It makes twinkly fairy noises and.....Her THIGHS LIGHT UP! Clear plastic thighs with lightbulbs inside that flash blue. I'm not saying it is wrong, just...odd.

Here is a Christmas tree ornament of a hippo in a Santa-ish bikini. Nothing says Christmas like a hippo in swimwtear! Next to it is a flamingo in a hawaiian shirt, but somehow that seems less odd.
Above the hippo is the word "Diva" in purple glitter. I'm trying to imagine the tree that goes on. It's probably really pretty and sparkly. Again, not judging, maybe you have one of these. I just always thought it would be insulting to be called a diva, but apparently now it is a compliment.
Those are high heels next to the flamingo, but even I can see that they go with "DIVA".

I was a little distracted in the ornament aisle by a young man who kept yelling "Buttscratcher!" at the top of his lungs in a fake english accent. (Butt....Scratchahhhh!) over and over again. I didn't know whether to hope he had Tourette's syndrome or not.

It was the strangest trip to Target ever. That may explain why I came home with a peacock for the top of my Christmas tree and a rainbow colored icicle, too. I also bought a brand-new skirt, not on sale! I wore it to Paul's work party and hoped I didn't look like "mutton-dressed-as-lamb".

How's your shopping going?
