The Target in Westwood Village has been revamped. They’ve included a grocery area (with dirt cheap peppers, by the way) and have moved all kinds of stuff around. They built new fitting rooms too, which I was very excited to try for the first time last night.
Oh.
Do not like the new fitting rooms.
The old Target fitting rooms had one mirror, on the wall. That’s it. That’s all you need to determine that you’re fat and that dress looks like shit on you. One quick glance, and okay! We’re done!
Apparently, the Target bigwigs weren’t happy with the level of depression wafting from the fitting rooms. Apparently, they thought the women were way too chipper after getting half naked in front of a mirror.
So the sadistic bastards installed TWO mirrors in these new dressing rooms.
TWO.
So now we have the luxury of seeing just how dimpled and pale and wide our asses really are. I was perfectly happy with my imaginary butt. I pictured it a bit tan (let me dream) and round with maybe a sexy, little freckle on the left cheek. The sides of my tush had those little dents that show “muscle tone” (whatever that is), and the curve of my lower back looked like a polished ramp. Woop! Onto the butt!
Todd let me believe in this dream. He never contradicted me.
But the mirrors at Target are not so kind. They don’t care if your feelings are hurt. Here’s your ass! Like it or not!
I came home a bit deflated. And immediately changed into my sweats. The sweats allow me to cling to my illusion of bootiful butt.
Consider yourself warned....

Nothing worse than trying on stuff in the fitting room surrounded by mirrors. Not to mention the crappy lighting. And bathing suits are the worst! I'm always deflated after a try-on-session. Nothing looks the way it "should." Grab a bunch of stuff, take it home to try on, keep what you want and return the rest. That's what I do! :)
And what's with the LIGHTS in fitting rooms? That horrible greenish light that make even the most painstaking makeup disappear? No matter how good I think I look in my own lovely bathroom, when I go shopping I end up with horrible self-esteem that can only be repaired by a. eating a lot of Tim's Jalapeno Chips, or b. getting whistled at by construction workers. Both simultaneously is best.
Someone needs to tell store owners that they would sell A LOT MORE if they just put really great lighting in their fitting rooms!
Hi Rose! I meant to welcome you when you first commented a while back, and say thanks for finding my little blog and reading.
Yes, better lighting would help. As would losing weight, but changing the lighting is easier :-)

I totally agree...hate the new Target. I am so resistant to change though. I refused to even buy any of the grocery items at first, but then decided that things like mayo and peanut butter are cheaper so I might as well pick them up while I am there. Oh and the dressing rooms...try being pregnant and having to see your butt in the bad lighting and two mirrors!!
