We have this place in Central Park called “Uptown Central Park”. It’s all art deco and looks like a little old town where the storefronts are at the sidewalk and then there are offices above. It’s cute. Kind of like Easton Towne Centre only with offices above the stores. It’s still small and I don’t know if they are going to add more. However here’s the weird part. First off there are dress codes. I kid you not. No tank tops. Shirts must be tucked in. No hats. That sort of thing. They have signs up stating the dress code. Who enforces this dress code? No idea.

So we go over yesterday because that’s where Maggie Moo’s is. We walk by this bridal store, “I Thee Wed”, that’s right around the corner from the ice cream parlour. I kid you not, there was a sign. “This store is rated PG.” OMG. A bridal store? Rated PG? What the heck? And since when are we rating stores? Is this rating better than movie ratings which these days are entirely bogus and useless? I mean an R rated movie these days might be perfectly acceptable where as a PG-13, and thus “safe” or so you would think, is completely foul and unacceptable. I have learned to ignore all ratings and go with the gut. Do I now need to do this as well with my shopping? And what would R be? Is that Victoria’s Secret? Can teenage girls no longer go and buy a pretty, lacy bra? Every girl should own a pretty, lacy bra. It makes one feel good about oneself to wear something pretty just for them.

I was so amused by this. This is even better than the dress code!! And now I of course want to walk and stare at every shop in Uptown to see if there are any other rated shops! If so, I want to see just what the heck a PG-13 and an R would be!! HAHA. I know, I’m warped but this just boggled my mind.

I wonder what Spencer’s would classify as? Probably PG-13 and Victoria’s would probably be R. LOL Yeah, cause that makes sense in real life…
