HH & Her Beans

Alright, I haven't had any personal WTF stories because honestly I haven't been in any shocking incidents recently but this week I have a great story for you guys. As you all know, I'm not willing enough to buy clothing that is straight off of the rack, meaning, I don't buy anything that is $20 or more since I'm saving up for college.

I know shocking how I could find cheap but high quality things for less than $20 since mostly every good brand only offers things that are $20 or more. I will show you guys how on this week's Q&A Thursday. Sometimes instead of visiting department stores, I would go to yard sales in hopes of finding new, unopened items for around $2, most of the time though I'm not successful. There is this thing, I don't think anyone knows about these "warehouse wholesale markets" which is basically stuff from department stores that is already at a discounted price, gets distributed into these warehouses and sold for even less.

For example, a pair of clearance sunglasses by Steve Madden is on clearance at Marshalls for $3.00 that's already like 75% off of the original price but after a certain amount of time when no one buys this pair of sunglasses because of some defect, they will be shipped and sold in a warehouse for $0.50. Last weekend, I went to one of these. It was actually my first time and I didn't know about these warehouses either, it was actually my mom who found this on Craigslist. I know, it already sounds shady, but anyways, I tagged along with her because on the pictures, the place didn't look that bad. OH MA LORD. The "warehouse" was basically a huge garage.

I have nothing against downtown LA but you guys all know how it is a place that is pretty dangerous with gangs and stuff like that. This warehouse is in the shadiest part of El Monte which is a pretty worn down city for all of my LA readers and I don't go there often. When we were driving there, I just noticed how the sidewalks became thinner and eventually it disappeared, then the road became bumpy and the houses all had barbed wire fences, and graffiti everywhere. Shiver shiver. After making many many many turns, we finally reached the warehouse which had barely any people and a sign with holes on it that read: SALE TODAY!! Uhhhhhhh.... As we drove into the parking lot, there was signs that read: BEWARE OF DOG everywhere.

The inside was even worse, the first part was all mom jeans, and when you walked in more, there was opened packages and half used shampoo. Yea they were all Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger but they were all the things that no one else wanted. The clearance sunglasses were all broken, and the toys were all opened. The worst part was, the owner of the "warehouse" appeared very threatening and scary. The place didn't look like what would be a part of LA. I didn't buy anything there but I breathed some gas tasting oxygen and then immediately walked out. I think I'm just going to stick to my yard sales, thank YOU very much. Until next time, stay cool ma beans. 

After witnessing the horror of warehouse sales (WTF Wednesday story), I think I should give direction to the people who are starting to save money for college, so this whole week I'll be focusing on saving money and all that adult life stuff that no one wants to think about. Before all that, let's talk about what's happening in the world.... of KPop.... Recently some EXO-L noticed on Pann that D.O has gained "a lot of weight" for his new role as a country boy so I checked out those pictures. Yes he does look a little bit chubbier but he's always been the type to gain weight easily. Plus they aren't on tour anymore, so it's not that big of a deal that he's gaining weight.

I don't mind if this creature gained a little weight...

PPLLLUUSSS the weight gain is to fit his character for his new drama, so I support him. Moving on to Chanyeol's disgraceful gesture that was pointed out AGAIN ON PANN. Honestly, Pann brings up so much little tiny details that no one notices. Apparently Chanyeol made a rude gesture, and blah blah blah. He's 22, it's still normal to act like a teenager.

Okay he only got a nose job....

Boys are suppose to be five years younger than their age, so it's okay Chanyeol just don't do it again in front of the cameras. Maybe other members make the same gestures behind the scenes, who knows. Since there was no response from either SM or Chanyeol, it must mean that either the situation is not big enough, or Chanyeol didn't actually make that gesture. Speaking of Chanyeol, when you look at this childhood photos he was soooooo different, like his puperty hit him like a truck... Just like T.O.P. and his weight loss. Chanyeol is so pretty now. Like he's great looking since he only got a nose job and that's it. There has been two comebacks with SHINee "Married to the Music" which creeped me out so much. The music video was like a Disney show. Wonder Girls' comeback song reminded me of the 80's and since I was never a big fan of them, I don't think I'll be reacting to them this week. Plus I already have a song lined up for tomorrow.... I bet you guys are going to love me for it. Until next time, stay cool ma beans!!
