The new line

We have met with one of our vendors and the wife has designed six or seven new dresses that we are putting in production. What's interesting is that only three plus stores in the entire United States came to the show to buy. It seems that everyone else is cutting back and the show seems pretty empty. Which makes the vendors even more desperate. So they tackle you and try to tie you down to buy stuff. The problem is that everyone is going the safe route. So to get the fun things you have to buy a lot since no one is taking a chance on anything so you have to buy the whole cutting ticket. That makes for some hard choices.

We even called one of our vendors and said it was foolish for them to come show their line for so few people. Why waste the money?

What I think we are going to do is clip some photos of Jackie O and Doris Day from the early sixties and just copy that. That is what will be in, especially if Obama wins and Michelle becomes the first lady.

It still makes for a tough decision making process.
