i wanted to post about the amazing photography exhibition that i went to at pataka in porirua today, because i returned home on a high, inspired, motivated and ready to move mountains...
however, i bumped into j.lo @ school and she broke the news to me. native soup was closing down. i was shocked, but then thought she was joking.
she wasn't. "when?" i asked her. (thinking about the amazing sale they'd probs have & all the cheap as clothes i could get!!!) and when she said "tonight when they close, they're never opening up again". that's when my world came crashing down.
honestly, it feels like i've just been dumped hahaha. i need closure! we went in to mourn together, pay our respects and remember all the fantastic clothes we'd bought there. i wanted to ask why they were closing so suddenly without notice, but it seems that the store girls didn't know it was happening either. that can't be good.
j.lo & i walked out finally, after touching every single piece of clothing, all the sneakers, fingers running lightly over the mahogany interior fittings. it was hard, and i didn't want to go.
we were guttered that a) the one good thing about this city was leaving us without any explanation, or even any kind of warning! and b) because we were both broke as, we couldn't buy anything to remember the worlds greatest store by.
i don't know what i'm gonna do without native soup. i remember its humble beginnings, back when i was in my last year of high school. as its sophistication and style grew, so did my own. we evolved together. we were one. (i told you this feels like a break up to me! hahahahahha)
all i can do is look at the flyy swag i've acquired over the years and i will smile & remember the good times i've had in the shop, the people i've met, and the free tickets to gigs they'd hook me up with.
native soup, until i find out the answers as to why, i won't stop loving you!!!
