Dear Certain Patrons of a Certain Starbucks,

I am going to skip all of the mushy -gushy "How are you?" and "What have you been up to lately?" because frankly I am not interested and I would rather just move on to business (it is now when you should ignore the run-on sentences and grammatical errors!)

Please be advised that Prom is an annual event. Annual means the event happens ONCE per year, usually in the Spring. Prom is also an event strictly for high school students. With that said, please also be advised that it is not necessary to sport your prom attire every single, solitary, freaking time you go to Starbucks to drink coffee! Now, I am not saying you shouldn't be able to dress nicely, because I am all for looking nice when going out of the house, I am simply saying, loud and clear, LEAVE THE PROM DRESSES, SHOES, HAIRSTYLES, JEWELRY, ETC at home when going to partake in a cup of coffee! Now, I am no stranger to bling, in fact I am all for wearing the bling, but please be aware that there is a limit to looking good with bling and just plain looking trashy!

If your intention of sporting your prom attire to Starbucks is to be noticed, let me inform you, everyone within a four block radius of the establishment already knows you are there, prom attire and bling, or not, because you are so damn loud!!!!

I hope that you have a great day!

Love,

A Starbucks Patron Who Is Tired Of Wearing Her Sunglasses To Drink Coffee

P.S. Please also advise your male friends that I am getting tired of seeing my refelection in their patent leather, white dress shoes (worn with jeans nonetheless) everytime I look down towards the ground. Also, it is not necessary to bathe in cologne, once again, we know you are there, we can hear you and every single word of your conversation!!

Currently mummifying my ball gown, re-evaluating and selecting only absolutely necessary pieces of bling (under 20) to adorn, limiting the number of squirts of cologne (again under 20), and restraining the number of coats of high-gloss sparkly eye-shadow and lipstick I apply. However, I refutably refuse to wear closed toe high-heels with my nylons----for I still have standards.

Moreover, out of mere respect for you, I will also do the above for Amira as well.

Oh, wait a minute…………was this about me? NO! Sorry – carry on with your rant.

Mixed Up Me,
Now I was at Starbucks last night with my "date" M---as we just came back from her friend's wedding. (M looked stunning by the way---up staging the bride....LOLOLOL) Anyway, aside from her and I in our "dressed up clothes" we did not see any prom attendees which would lead me to believe the following.........MOVE FROM THE STARBUCKS SURROUNDING YOU (using my best Sam Kenninson typing fingers voice)

Hi Mixed Up Me,

Ok my dear friend. I found out where they (Prom Stars----no, not porn stars-----prom stars) purchased their gowns. It's place in London called Cinderella's. (Holding my head down as I'm so disappointed in the princess.) What was Cinderella thinking when she opened this store? Oh wait! Her ugly step-sisters.

Ok, here's the store - http://anglolibyan.blogspot.com
