So. I was in NY for the weekend. Was a very eventful weekend. I got new shoes, new hair and correct insults. So my friend, Kikiana, and I came across one store like this in Harlem that was doing
CORRECT clearance sale. Now when I say correct, I mean CORRECT.
Everything was on sale for $50. I'm talking LAMB, Giuseppe, CORRECT CORRECT shoes! No be Bakers shoes o! Shoes I have no business buying on a normal day. Thank God for sale. So we walked into the store, there were 4 other women there buying shoes. We tried shoes on. FOR $50!!!
I bought those ones in the picture, my friend bought a pair of
LAMB shoes and Giuseppes for her sisters since she didn't find her size. Again, for $50!!! Who no go buy? Anyways, so we saunter out of the store with our 'steals'. We even went back the next day when her sisters came in, but the prices had gone back up.
So we sha went back about our business, nails, hair.....
Somewhere in-between, I decided to get money from the atm. What did I see? They had charged me DOUBLE! Biko! What business do I have buying $100 shoes??? Do you know how long it takes me to make that???? Shoo!
My friend checked her account, and she had been charged and extra $50 too.
I called the store quick quick make them return my money abeg! Or if them no gree, them fit collect their shoe back. Na so the girl come call me back say make I folo her oga talk. Say wetin??
So I called the oga. The oga com de yan beans that her shoes are never on sale for $50. That all the announcements she put on facebook and twitter and bla bla bla.
Biko? How that one com consign me?
She come talk say she go check her survelliance video.
Eewo! See me see trouble! Did she just use style to call me a liar and a thief??
So we carried ourselves and our shoes back to her store. When we got there, this woman was ready for fight.
"So, you must be the girls that said you bought shoes for $50? You have your receipts? My security guy is on his way."
"Oh yah. Nice to meet you, I'm Fabulo-la".
See us still doing polite polite.
Na so she come start.
"......sth sth sth BITCH BITCH ghetto bitches tryna scam me..."
Shoo?
"Nothing in this store was ever $50! I do not sell my shoes for $50! I know about all you ghetto bitches tryna scam me."
Say whaa??? Trust Kikiana. Ibo gel. She just siddon for chair.
She asked the sales girl to commot from back make she come talk wetin happen now abi?
The woman went on..
"Bitch leave her out of this. She has nothing to do with this!"
"...sth sth sth..get the fuck out of my store or I would throw you out myself BITCH.."
Ibogel: Just touch me, you will know what the inside of a jail cell looks like.
"Get the fuck out before I call the cops"
Ibogel: Abeg Fabulo-la, 911. This woman doesn't know anything.
At this point, agidi don pass agidi and it had become a shouting match between the I'm-not-ghetto-fabulous akata woman and the ever-so-ready Ibo gel.
Me? Me I no de fight o! I no like fight o! I just cross my hand for one corner just de look with my eyes bulging out. I look like person wey go de scam a whole boutique on top shoe? My counterparts are scamming banks, me I will be scamming boutique? Na wa o!
After shouting shouting she went to get $50 in cash and shoved it our faces.
*Blank stares* I now come ask am,
"Is there a way you can put this back on our cards without giving us cash?"
"Bitch I gave you the $50, what the fuck do you want? Take the money and get the fuck out of my store!" And she started again...
Na wa o! Shooo??
Anyways, the woman's friend that was there sha stepped in, apologised on behalf of her friend and bla bla bla. Apparently, her cash register does not do refunds.
Would it have killed her to say that?
Ha! Na she sabi. Those shoes look
hot on me jere...
I got my hot shoes and my $50 and sashayed out of there.
Apparently the thing pain Kikiana more than it pained me. On monday morning, she emailed some woman at ybf telling her about it, cause apparently they did a scoop on her sometime in May. So if you see any videos on theybf.com with 2 weird looking girls fighting over shoes, fear not its just Fabulo-la attempting to conquer her fear of cameras. LOL
And that my friends, is the story of the bitch-shoes.
Renesugarplumsweetness is our first winner!
I think I am going to cry :'(. These are one of my favorites. I called her Yellow. 'Cause well they are yellow. She sorta reminds me of a calabar yellow girl. I have no idea why. Ok Before the tears start flooding Abike (my laptop) I better stop.
