Oh, Euro Pop

The Numa Numa guy



the original sung by Moldovans, in Romanian.



it keeps getting weirder....now a Taiwanese version



And an Afrikaans version



Apparently this is the world's favorite song.

Halloo up north


How goes it Charles?

Your customers



And the British take on our obsession with Halloween.

Holy Shit!

I can't believe my store is only open for three more days.

Things I will not miss:
1. lack of sleep
2. 13-hour days
7. 7-day work weeks
8. the hiring process

Things I will miss:

1. Conversations like this:

Employee: Oh my god Esmee, do you like what I'm wearing? (presents outfit of skinny jeans and 80's style boyscout camp sweatshirt)
Me: Holy shit you're such a little hipster, I love it.
Employee: I hate hipsters.
Me: All hipsters say that. It's part of their M.O.
Employee: *sigh* I've had this sweatshirt since I was nine years old.
Me: I really just want to smuggle you in my suitcase and take you to Silverlake with me.
Employee: Oh my god, can you? My ex-boyfriend moved there and he'd love you! We'd have so much fun just bitching about stuff every day!
Me: Why are you only 17???
Employee: Life is tragic that way.


I think I'm going to miss my 17-year-old gay hipster employee most of all. Le sigh.

For those of us who lust after the books of others





Bookshelf porn tumblr. I want your books. Le sigh.

You're on the homestretch


Can't wait to see you again, Es!
