Channeling the spirit of medieval alchemy, the process that purchased vacation items go through is nothing short of amazing. Say, for example, you go to Myrtle Beach (it has to be a location, not a sports team). The souvenir shops are a dime-a-dozen, selling all sorts of merchandise. Picture in your mind a navy blue shirt with the words "Myrtle Beach" printed in orange, 36-point Chalkduster font and "South Carolina" in yellow, 22-point Gill Sans font underneath it. Then you have some clip art palm tree picture next to it. Got it? Okay, if you wear it when you're there in Myrtle Beach, you look ridiculous.
Take that shirt back with you to your home in Louisville, KY and people are like "That's a cool shirt!"--the subtext being, "You actually got the frick out of here? Good for you!" Hands down, this is a universal phenomenon. In high school, people thought you were somebody if you had a Hard Rock Cafe shirt from Toronto.
In case y'all were wondering, Kelly purchased this necklace--made by Nubian children--on a dock before she boarded a touring ship around Egypt. The question is: did she walk like an Egyptian to the boat?
