Now there are four types of people who are at these shows. Young girls that are the models and salespeople. Older woman who own stores. Old straight guys who are either the money guys for the lines being shown or the husbands of the women ordering. And gay guys. Nasty gay dudes at that.
As a straight guy there is not much to do. I mean you are not staring at the models who are very thin anyway. Most of them will never make any money at a strip club. I mean fashion is obsessed with thinness and it is even reflected in the bras that they feature. Which is stupid because the woman buying the bras don't look like the models. What looks good on a size 2 with a bra size of 34B will not look good on a woman who is a size 20 with 46E breasts. So you have to do a bunch of calculating to decide what to buy. You have to decide how many pieces, what colors, what styles, how low or high to go in sizing. So it is a lot of mental gymnastics. So you are studying the price sheet and not some skinny twat's ass.
Then you have the people you have to avoid. You bought their shit and it sucked and you don't want to buy it again. But they are all nice and welcoming and ply you with gifts and what not. You have to run away and not deal with them. I try to keep Lisa from even seeing them by walking down a different aisle. But they still catch up with you.
It is just exhausting.

I bet the shows were a lot different back in the 50's.
Okay, this is gonna sound wiseguyish but if you know which are the good lines (brands) to buy and you have a good idea of the sizes to stock, which by now you must know practically by heart, why don't you make a beeline for the reps for those lines, place your orders and get out?
The good brands all come to the store because they want to be in business with us. We want to find the new "hungry" brands that are the cutting edge. We found a few at a great price point.
You can't go year after year with the same beaver hat and curls. Just sayn'
