"I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in…read moreAnd follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me..."
Location: Oxford Street, London, England
LAX somehow lost my luggage with all my toiletries and photo op clothes inside! Ugh! Fortunately London is in a First World Country where I can still get my mandatory metrosexual needs. Tbh I never heard about Boots until the English gal at the theatre told me about...
Boots is the British version of CVS/Walgreens in America. It's the largest pharmaceutical chain in the UK boosting about 2,500 locations in the UK and elsewhere. Boots dates back to 1849 starting as an herbal medicine shop in Nottingham. The location I visited was located on Oxford Street in Mayfair, London. I walked over...
"But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine..."
Entering Boots was so familiar. The security up front, cashiers to the side. The pharmacy in the back. I came specifically for - eye contacts solution. Boots had what I needed and more. I was now in search of small scissors that I could transport on a plane. Then I turned and she...
"Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight..."
The young lady, with shades of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, turned to me and asked if I needed help. I told her what I needed and she walked me over to each spot. Scissors, tweezers, deodorant, toothpaste, juicy apple shampoo, and even shortbread fingers! All the while I'm admiring how gorgeous this Boots gal is. Hmm I wonder was she wearing equestrian boots? Did she ride a horse? Would she go out with me to a romantic picnic on the English country side? Barefoot on the glass. Hmm...
"Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams,
I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own..."
In the end, Boots had everything I was looking for, sans the Lysol wipes. I did get a generic version at Tesco. Boots, as far as I know had nothing to do with equestrian boots or the like, instead it's named after the founder with a surname of Boot. I admit my fantasies got the best of me oh my! The English gal, the Pharmacy gal, not the theatre gal, who helped me was certainly gorgeous and Brit proper. I hope one day to have kids with her, maybe?
"Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, w/ you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see...
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight...
You look perfect tonight..."
