january 6th


today was very slow. $58 total. gave the village $100 more towards rent. stayed working at the store til midnight. marshe and i are both working ourselves tired, and i dont even know what we've been doing.

It is almost 10pm Casey is at the store working and I am at home working. We are getting together information for our website. We should have taken care of this a year ago but because of lots of unreliable people and and hectic schedule it has taken until now to get it done. I am glad we waited we are revamping the whole store and the new website will give us a better edge. Yesterday we were taking down decorations at the Chesterfield mall until 3am it was actually quite exciting we were the only girls there. Every store had signs that read 70% off entire store. And LOWEST PRICES EVER. How do we compete with that. When you can get a 300 dollar dress at Guess for $30 and a full new wardrobe for under $200 bucks on karmaloop. It almost makes you want to throw your hands up and quit. We laughed with the crew and talked about recession and labor ready jobs and getting any gigs we can find.


The photo shoot went very well. The photographer was great and easy to work with. The models all felt very comfortable with her and we even had a friend come and do makeup. Here are a few of my favorite photos. The whole thing was sort of a gimmick at first too get new people in the store to buy things. We assume each model will buy at least two items. We were correct. All the models work for free, the photographer works for free, the makeup artist works for free. We get the pictures within two days on flickr.com and put them on line and send them to everyone involved. We get photos for our website they get photos for their look books and we all win.
