Yesterday I ventured out with a dear friend to the mall here in Florida and found yet another girl store open in the mall. While it was fun to search through the cheap jewelry and wear the gawdy rings my mind began to fume. Where in the world in our mall is there a boy store?
We need a store just for boys. For that age group between little boy and man. There needs to be a store that sells those hard to find in between sizes, belts, hats, t-shirts and anything else boy. There is a market for it, I am one of them but why don't we do that? There's Justice, Chic, Boutiques, and clothing stores that are girls only territory but why not for boys? Where's there boys only territory. The no Justin Beiber, no frilly skirts, and no Barbie kind of shopping? It's ridiculous that there isn't one.
I envision a place filled with t-shirts with boy messages, mugs with boy loves, hats, belts, wallets, and books that are boys only! The store needs to have jeans for those awkward shapes. Clothes for those kids whose parts are not always proportional. They may have a little belly and their legs haven't grown quite so long yet. They may be tall and lanky, with everything coming up a little too short. All types of body shapes that make it insanely difficult to buy for them.
I envision a store where Bronies can shop with ease and find all types of clothing for them. A place where geek boys and athletes will shop together and find what they need. A store where aunts and grandmas can walk in a find something that's perfect for those hard to buy for years. A shop where boys can come and be unhindered and free to shop without girls to distract them.
It would need to be a place that would sell boy books, movies, music, and games. A place where every square inch screams boy. The most important thing would be a place where mothers can take their sons shopping and trust that they will find what they are looking for. That is my idea of the perfect shopping experience.
If you had that type of store in your mall right now, would you go?

ReplyDeleteI think they have those in the UK. They're called "Forbidden Planet"
Seriously though, I can see two reasons they'd never do boy-stuff only shops.
1. There's not enough money in it.
2. The moment somebody tried it, the press would hang the label "Nerd paradise" on them.
I would gladly be a nerd paradise! LOL
