Best shopping yet!

Today I met up with my friend Aimee with the original plan of touring some of NYU, only coz it was pretty much raining the whole day, that plan had to be vetoed, sadly :(

Instead, we did the giant Disney and Toys R Us stores! AND IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN 5TH AVENUE!

My Macy's paper bag got shredded in the rain so I had to hold the bulky bundle to my chest as we walked a few blocks to the Disney store, and since my hands were full, I couldn't carry my umbrella and I got drenched! By the time I got to Disney, I looked like a drowned rat and staff told me where I could get a bag big enough for my Macy's purchases and so I got that all under wraps and good and done. FINALLY bought myself a soft toy, which I'd been meaning to do since Orlando! It's a 12" tall Donald Duck and he's very huggable! Also bought some EPIC Disney villain mugs - 2 for $16! And let me tell you, they are freaking huge. SO BIG. Spied a few other things I wanted, but didn't buy them coz I still have Downtown Disney in L.A to spend any extra Emerica money on. OMG SO PYSCHED.

Bought the Evil Queen (SW) and Maleficent (SB), may buy
Ursula and Cruella in L.A if I see them again

And the Toys R Us was fantastic! Not as me as the Disney store but still incredible. There was a giant ferris wheel that now, back in my hostel, I wish I'd ridden (Barbie's pink convertible, Scooby Doo's Mystery Van and the cart with Tommy Pickles and Jimmy Neutron were the 3 I really wanted to ride!). Perhaps I shall go back. Next year! But oh wow, found my new residence in there as well. Who needs an apartment overlooking Central Park when you can live here?

It was too large to fit in one photo. Believe me, there's more

Bought myself a wonderful Barbie book that details her history and then documents (photos) how her look changed over the years until present day. I'm dying to read it but keeping it wrapped up in its plastic for better shipping, so I can send it home and read it then. Also bought these fantastic little worms x squirrel things but won't go too into them atm coz I want to show them off when I get home. YAY FOR MORE PETS!

Made a quick stop to Best Buys (which is basically our JB Hi Fi - with the exact same shade of yellow! Also, pretty much same logo....) to get the soundtrack of instrumental Disney music I heard playing in the Disney store. Seeing as the CDs were so cheap, I didn't buy one. Or two. Or even three! I bought 5. Not bad, Bargain Basher Em.

All in all, a pretty wonderful day! I loved meeting Aimee for the first time, but am sorry we didn't get to do NYU and that the rain was so against us today :( Bad weather! Bad!

EVERYONE, LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL DRAWING AIMEE DREW FOR MEEEEE

Sailor Moon meets Harry Potter meets EMMA
