So far our search had taken us from Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and Macy's to H&M, BCGB, and Urban Outfitters; we were running out of options. The blouse selection at these other retail establishments had been uninspiringly mediocre, but upon entering F21 we experienced an embarrassment of riches. They had blouses as far as the eye could see, a cornucopia of colors, cuts, and styles. Within 5 minutes my babydoll had selected 11 options; it was looking like end game on this blouse hunt. Head back to the dressing rooms for the ceremonious fitting. But there's a problem, unlike the Houston, TX F21 which is for men and women who aspire to stay the same age as the year you can legally purchase alcohol, this one, is only for the ladies. What's a fella to do? Stand in the fitting area at the risk of making other shoppers uncomfortable or hover outside the fitting area in the costume jewelry/bangles section like some creepy weirdo. Seriously Forever 21, you couldn't have a boyfriend bench next to the fitting room for significant others? I'm the guy who's paying for the purchase, do I also have to be uncomfortable in your store for 2/3 of the time I'm in it, while waiting on my girlfriend to try on her selections? I don't think it's as big a request as asking for an actual Men's section, where I could like, ummm...buy stuff."^^ .
