Starting the season and getting ready for shows and market week makes me think how intricate, complicated and sophisticated our business is: Being on our feet for hours, planning our buying, making the appointments, and selling the end consumers!! To all those retailers out there who teach me how to do it well, how to have a business that makes money and make women look and feel good, I salute you! Done right, the success is there, the money is there. And so many of you have taught me how to make this is a successful, profitable business and enjoy it along the way.

Then it dawns on her. Nothing is missing except for the side effects of her missing the prom! This gave me the idea to disintegrate all Hollywood cliches and propose a substitute for any age and ALL events.
