Chicago

There was so much funness in Chicago. Some of the highpoints.

Overheard on train: "Oh thanks. I like it too. It is well worth the 600 dollars for the haircut because it is wash and go."

Ugly: Dude. There was so much ugly going on in the stores. I saw the ugliest dress/coat for $7,000. $7,000 and it didn't even have real pockets.

Crappy service at a bakery/cafe. My friend is pretty sure that her screwing up our order pretty much was the final straw in her getting fired.

• Saw and photographed the Bean.

• Navy boys were in port. They were everywhere.

• Fur coat tally: Lost count after about 25. There were so many people that it was hard to keep track of all the ugly furs being worn.

• Vera Wang decorated the Christmas tree at Macys.

Day trips to Chicago are so much fun and it is so incredibly cheap. Five bucks to take the Metra train roundtrip and then all you have to worry about is food.
