I am not one for malls.  It has been a long time since I’ve been in a shop, and I must confess that I was intimidated by the Tel Aviv Mall.  Of course I’ve got all the brand names here and there in my closet somewhere – the dkny, calvin klein, zara etc.  But I don’t even remember how I got them. Or why.

It was not terribly surprising to me, then, that the shops were relatively empty.  Life seems to go on, but our wardrobes remain plain and dull.  Except that all the news reporters on tv wear different colored silk shirts.  Shiny silk.  

I saw them in the mall.

Even my granddaughter couldn’t find a pair of jeans she likes.
