I IMed Mr. W yesterday afternoon, “if you don’t have any plans for halloween, wanna go to the mall and watch costumes walk by?” We ended up going to South Coast Plaza, a hoity toity large shopping mall in Costa Mesa (Orange County) and having dinner at a French restaurant in the mall watching little rich kids trick-or-treat store-to-store, from Salvatori Ferragamo to Louis Vuitton to Tiffany. Mr. W cracked a joke about how someone said because he’s recently come into money and been shopping a lot, he now speaks good Italian. “I’m surprised you wanna do this,” he told me as we were watching little pumpkins, pirates, wizards and fairies run by. But I didn’t want to do it cuz I think kids are just so freaking adorable in their coot wittle costumes begging for free loot. It just takes me back to when I was in elementary school and the weather would be really cold so my mom wouldn’t let me trick-or-treat out in the neighborhood, and instead made me, childhood friend Vicky and her sister Karen go to the mall to beg for candy and stickers from stores instead. I know there’s a photo somewhere…lemme try to find it…
