Taking Matters into My Own Hands: An Attempt to Save Borders Booksellers
As many of you have already heard, our beloved chain bookstore Borders declared bankruptcy on February 16. While this may not cramp the style of a lot of you, this disheartens me very much because a) there’s a Borders very close to my office, while the nearest Barnes and Noble is considerably further away, and b) as a member of the publishing industry I feel I’m partly responsible for perpetuating the online/e-book revolution that is putting a hit on the economy, cutting jobs and quite literally revolutionizing the world as we know it.
Since there is only so much I can do in a day, and I haven’t quite figured out how to fit world domination in between going to the gym and watching Pretty Little Liars, I traveled over to the Borders bookstore on Boylston Street yesterday to see if I could make any kind of dent in their financial woes. Inside, the store promised 20 percent off of everything, that is, if you could find it.

There’s a Whole Lot of Inappropriate Going on in the Halloween Department
I'm uncomfortable.
At the risk of this becoming a blog solely about the crazy-slash-fantastic that goes on in the mecca that is Target, I need to share with you my most recent experience: the Target Halloween costume department. Holy Inappropriateness. I can’t even begin to describe how uncomfortable I was.
First, the adult costumes for 11-year-old girls. Do parents even exist anymore? And what exactly is a Midnight Maven? Why is this child out at midnight anyway? When I was in fifth grade, I was a table for Halloween. A table. My head was a centerpiece. It was the greatest costume ever. My only guess is that this girl is a cross between Elvira and the licorice man from Candy Land, who by day runs an escort service. I’m just sayin’. Also in this section, a “Stitch Witch” (not sure at all what that means), and some kind of British go-go dancer. Come on people.
