I think that Hollister - the fictional name of the teen clothing retailer owned by Abercrombie and Fitch (another set of fictional characters) might not be so fictional after all. As I sat pondering meaning of things whilst trying to balance my bodily fluids this morning it hit me.
Perhaps like this weekend when Holi and Easter arrived within minutes of each other the folks that watch patterns announced happy Holister. Or to make it more Hollywoody or Socaly called it Hollister.
Neither makes any sense since as always they are man made creations it might be that it was designed to appeal to masses that neither celebrate Holi nor Easter. However it definitely appeals to ones that favor the Santa Anas over any Noreaster.
However neither ones buying their merchandise as you rightly guessed are Saints or Annas (as in ones that favor lungees) but maybe Santanas and Annas (of the Ruskie kind).
The crowd does tend to Lunge for the product as new versions are released in dark cottagy shacks in malls across the planet.
I walked in one thinking it was a bar and then promptly walked out as a ditz with hair over her face said something incomprehensible while folding multitudes of clothing.
So while that clothing is clearly not on my radar I do think that in the spirit of the season and the Pope washing feet of criminals its apt to wish everyone happy Holi or happy Easter or a Happy Holy Easter.
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
