Well the online business is up and running and we made some sales. So we are busy packing and checking our lists. We will add more stuff in the weeks to come. We did get a nasty e-mail from someone very early this morning who wanted to know how we got so much publicity with so few items on our site. She was indignant and nasty and couldn't understand why we were on the Today show. I wrote back that we are very picky in what we purchase and if you want hundreds of choices go to Lane Bryant or Target. We only have stuff we believe in the store and on line and those garments are hard to find.
I also quoted my friend Dan Dority of Deadwood who said "Breakfast is best time of the day to go fuck yourself."

That's a tough balance, selection and quality. But you can't really compete on selection, if that's all you got.
Why'd she bother to send a nasty email? Don't like it, don't buy anything and move along.
Plus, she's stupid because the stuff you had on LeeLee's was super nice. If I was the right size and could afford it, there were several things I would have loved.
I am worried that we put up too many of the expensive pieces and not the lower price points. We have stuff from $30 up to $1,200 but it takes a lot to put up a garment. You have to photograph and write a blurb. We were under the gun to get up and running in six days and that was the best we could do. I know it will be a lot better in a month, in six months, in a year. So I am not sweating it at all.
Thanks for the kind words Knox.
The selection process is the key to our store. My wife will only buy something she would wear. Now it might not fit her body shape, but if it did, it would be something she would wear. So most of our garmets are carefully selected. We will never be Lane Bryant or Nordstroms. But you see that's the whole point.
Exactly.
What you have to offer that the big stores can't, is your taste and personality. That's your niche.
Can't be everything to everyone. Look at poor Barack....
