There are two places you should see and/or avoid during a sale: Kamiseta and Janilyn. I passed by Ayala Center this lunch, and found out that they're having their midnight sale. As expected, those two shops are packed to the rafters.
While eating my favorite chicken nugget/fries combo at McDonald's, I created a story behind the madness that happens in these stores:
Episode I: Attack of the Shoppers
Fashion Holocaust! Style is about to come to an end!
Clothes as we know them are about to be annihilated from the face of the planet. Three days before the prophecized end, people are in a state of panic. Blinded by the thought of being a fashion victim the rest of their lives, they rush to the nearest centers of style and grab whatever they see. They eye two stores: Kamiseta and Janilyn.
Knowing that this is their last chance at perusing nice clothes and shoes, they mob the store and mindlessly yank clothes and shoes from their racks. Relentlessly, they fight tooth and nail to get that last bohemian skirt, sequinned tunic and knitted top. Unmindful of injury or cost, they snatch the remaining ballet flats, espadrille wedges and charrol pumps.
What's left is a store that appears to have been looted by hundreds of thousands of mad shoppers. Hangers are scattered on the floor, a few, remaining pieces of tops and skirts and strewn on the racks, and a couple of shoppers scout the area like vultures hoping to get the scraps left by the more voracious ones. This vicious cycle continues until 9pm. At this time, they are driven out by armed salesladies.
The stores close, and droves of disappointed shoppers leave. But tomorrow, they will be back.
