East Point vs Roswell: Stylin' and PROFILE'N

This morning, I was in East Point- my old "hood" where I spent most of my youth. I needed to go to my favorite (and by favorite, I mean the one Im used to..) Beauty Supply store. S'vaan was with me. While we were waiting for the store to open, we decide to walk a few doors down to the Family Dollar. They were open. We go in, I make my quick purchase. Of course, as always, there is a gumball machine filled with toys next to the exit and as always, to prevent the ensuing tantrum that was about to go down, and a spiral of the "I Wants" & the "Gimmies" for the rest of the day, I pull out my quarters.

I'll tell you what happened in a sec. Here's just a little background info. I now live in Buckhead-- Sounds ballin, but I'm not. By far! LOL But the same thing happens in just about every store I visit on this side of town. Babies spot that short little "just my height" machine. Quarters come out. Thats it. BUT! There's a difference today.

Back to the post at hand. So, normally, at these machines, we get this-

a hand slappy... Maybe even a little princess ring...

This morning, we got this -

a fake gold chain with diamond crusted medallion. AND its BROKEN!

Hmm. Never seen anything like it. Radical parent? I think not. I look up like, "now aint this about a micky ficky..." and what do I then notice?? A toy, hanging on the wall among other toys.. Sealed and ready to go for the low low price of $5. A cellphone, play money in a money clip, and a gold chain. Maybe its just me. But I never see that set in the toy section at the Target on Roswell Road. ;) Then again, I did drive all the way over there because Roswell Road also doesn't have beauty supply stores with rat tail combs.

Ulta hardly qualifies as a beauty supply sto'.

Go figure.

My glass house and I've been profiled. And its allllll goood.
