Target madness

So I braved the crowds today at Target, as they unvieled their Missoni line.  I'm sad to say but by the time I arrived at 9:30, almost all the clothes, house wears, and accessories were sold out.  Apparently,  the crowd was wrapped around the store before doors opened at 8. (Who knew how many Missoni fans lived around here?)  I manged to grab a couple adorable outfits for my daughter and god child, a few accessories and some p.j.'s.
The best part of the day though was watching other wise normal, refined ladies turn into crazy, sociopaths.  I watched a women crawl under a dressing room door to retrieve another's cast offs.  I also watched someone buy a small  fortune worth of Missoni post it notes?!?!(E-bay anyone?)
As the chaos swirled around me I found myself getting caught up in the wave of excitement.  Suddenly I needed some Target Misssoni.  I bought a carry on bag, even though I have a closet full, just because I found it misplaced  in the car repair aisle  before all the other crazy Target ladies did.
So as I was about to barter my young for the last Missoni plater, I had a thought.  These people at Missoni and Target are brilliant!  I don't even really wear Missoni, but my "carry on bag high" was making me feel like Lady GaGa.
Long story short, the inventory was great but the "scene" was priceless!
