BLOOMINGDALES GOT RUSHED FOR POLO GEAR, EPISODE 1

Yo, I remember the day clearly like it was yesterday. 1988, Lo-Lifes linked up with other boostin clicks from Brooklyn and headed to Mid Town Manhattan. The rush was on. Our destination was Bloomingdales, but before we got to Bloomies we ransacked everything in sight. Hermans got taken for crazy ski apparel particularly HEAD & GORETEX. Heading up 3rd Avenue shit was about the get hectic. Heads were hungry for the Lo and we practically would do the craziest things to get it. We were like real stuntmen for the Lo gear. We hit Bloomingdales on 59th & 3rd Avenue and entered the mens Lo section like wolves.
It was an entire table full of Big Cross Flags and heads went crazy. We literally took every sweater and headed to the door. The sales person aint do nothing, but the dees was on the way. I had caught like 4 big flags myself and was crazy excited full of energy. Heads ran for the door and guess what we all made it outside safely. But I would say about 5 seconds after we exited the store, crazy store detectives appeared and started snatching heads up. Heads started running and taking flight. I even seen 1 Lo head from Bed stuy get thrown into a moving taxi cab by a store detective. The dees really tried to go all out on this day. But heads still went all the way to the end for that Lo gear. I would say about four or five of us were apprehended. The dees even chased one of the Lo-Lifes to the other side of Manhattan near Central Park.
On that day,they were like marathon runners. We took all of the big flags and they wanted their property back. But they still took a major lost. Yeah, I was one of those who got caught. I kicked a alias and was released. And guess what the next day I returned to Bloomingdales and caught 2 big flags. Ha Ha, who got the last laugh. While we were all in the holding cell, my man even stole his mug shot. Now that's a real thief right there. All those Lo-Lifes who had escaped were fortunate.I know when I got back around the way, I saw crazy big flags. So I was amped to get mines. Shit, I'm a true Lo-Life. It was just that way. Some days everyone got away scott free and on other days some people got caught. But if you was slick and clever like me, you always found a way to get released. I was a master at kicking aliases and giving a false age.
Bloomingdales kept getting rushed. We never let them rest. They hated to see us coming. We ran that spot. Bloomies was our house. From the kids Lo section to the men's Lo section.. that was all us. Stay tune for episode 2, the ski vest and polo goose rush at Bloomingdales..
LL's Up!
