Sorry no pictures. Here though, is my report:

I live about three hours from Allentown and had to work early the next morning, but my curiosity overcame me, so I flew down. The mall is around 2 miles from the airport. I had intended to rent a car, but that would have ended up being a significant portion of the cost involved, plus there were thunderstorms in the area earlier so I arrived late and took a taxi out and got a ride from the airport back. This was a mistake as they asked for my destination and I told them Leighigh valley mall. They looked like they must have thought I was going to meet some underage girl I met on the Internet and probably had the fbi on standby. I am not kidding.

Anyway, it was not at all what I expected, but probably should have been. There were around 5-6 stores involved, all on the same level. On my first pass through the mall, what I found were simply girls standing in windows. They were not freeze modeling. Many would rarely hold a pose for more than a moment and frequently talked to each other. Others would hold a pose but constantly look around the mall.

The two weathervane girls were the worst. They would only hold a pose for one of the chaperons taking pictures. The wilson leathers girls mostly never stood still. Plus, there were at least 4 chaperons, including the head guy along with mall security. Someone may have been able to take pictures, but given my current state, I could not. What a disappointment.

Anyway, I had time to kill and didn't want to pay for a taxi back and had to wait nearly an hour for the airport van to pick me up so I continued to peruse the mall. Boy was I rewarded. Several new girls showed up in the eddie bauer and gaps windows and they WERE good. They held beatiful poses and didn't move or blink for as long as I dared look. I wish they all were like that and maybe I would have gotten some higher quality photos.

In the end, mostly out of desparation, I asked one of the chaperons, who turned out to be the mom of the girl in white in the wv01.gif, if she minded if I took some photos. She referred me to the head guy, who was very nice about it, who said that since they were all minors from 13-17 that I shouldn't take any pictures.

Anyway, I am available for the next one June 26 at the montgomery mall in North wales, outside philly which is also probably near a small airport.

Comments or suggestions are welcome. I can't believe no one else lives in eastern PA.
