Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.
I did work at a mall in college - I think retail/customer service is just one of the most hideous jobs in the world. So I always try to be extra nice when I go into a store. But malls are part of our culture, if you watched any teen comedy in the '80s. it's clear that malls are where we live!
Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to and the one white people used to go to.
At a mall you can almost get frostbite, it's so boring. Looking different is worth a lot.
The mall is good for hearing new music because you hear music everywhere. I like to walk around the mall and hear what the kids are listening to, or what's the feel of Middle America, cause that's what the mall is.
I love chocolate, and I love to shop - just give me a good boutique. I like mall scenarios, too, because there's more right there at hand. I think Nashville could use some better shopping!
The real Santa Claus is at the mall.
I'm channelling my 14-year-old self. She's thinking about putting on her big hoop earrings and baggy pants and going to the mall downtown.
I'm much more of a city girl. I like the mall. I like shopping.
She said, "'Ye can we get married at the mall?" I said, "Look, you need to crawl 'fore you ball Come and meet me in the bathroom stall And show me why you deserve to have it all."
I usually go into a store with a mission. My idea of a fun thing to do would not be to go to a mall and shopping.
Canada is seen to some as a confederation of shopping centres.
When I was 9, my parents let me take a cab to the mall all by myself. I had hardly any money to spend, but I did have a very specific list of things I wanted to do: buy cookies and sit on the furniture at Sears.
I don't listen to my old music of Vanity's unless I have to hear it playing in a mall or something place like that.
Strip malls are history.
I was the rebel in our family and a child of the eighties. That meant going to the mall.
Electro '80s is very popular in Australia. Like, you get a headache if you walk into a mall with the number of girls and boys that are wearing big hair, leggings, headbands. You feel like you're back in the '80s.
Somewhere along the way America became a giant mall with a country attached.
I couldn't really relate to the fraternity or party scene, to the people out in the mall every day protesting one thing or another. I felt like there was no one I could relate to.
I hate to shop. I consider it one of life's necessary evils, like brussels sprouts and high-heeled shoes.
These days malls are the cathedrals of the modern world, and old buildings that had character are gone to allow for econo-worship and peso-pilgrimages.
I don't go to the mall a lot 'cause girls scream and run at me, and I get shy.
A mall was something that I just used to hang out in as a kid. And then you go there, and there's 4,000 people waiting for you to perform. It's a big difference.
Goth culture, as mired in the past as it is, even it goes through changes, so Goth when I was growing up is not what it is now. When I think of Goth culture as it is at the moment I think of mall culture.
It takes a lot more than just knowing how to put an outfit together to succeed in the fashion industry, so more power to you if this is where you want to be; just don't expect it to be an extended trip to the mall.
