Yes we do wear flip flops, I love it. The clothes that are used on the visuals have to be damaged out because we practically pour a bottle of cologne on them to make the store smell nice. We also spray cologne on the lights so that the heat emits the scent throughout the room as well. A&F is stepping up its image this year, and will expand its Ezra Fitch line, sold in A&F stores. The goal is to eventually steal the major market share from Ralph Lauren. Another manager told me todat that competitor J.Crew will come out with two new concepts this year, Crewcuts--kids clothes, and a women's only store line which will compete with Ann Taylor Loft.

See the woman with the bottled water? They have concierge service in that store which offers the water and checks your bags for you.

Wow, that's crazy.
Surprised to hear that about Crewcuts. Crewcuts has actually been around awhile; the Crewcuts store in our upscale mall closed several years ago, I think due to lack of business. I guess they've revamped it and brought it back.

I think that's cool how y'all wear flip flops. Especially here when it's so dang cold. There are only 2 here in the city...the other is way way downtown. The 5th Ave store is gorgeous though. I actually did some work with the agency that does pr for A&F...we're doing an event with them for Puffy in a couple weeks.

Do you know if A&F does Ruehl?

Tangent ahead: Kimmi, I forgot to tell you I saw the video for "Heard 'Em Say" the other day and was more than halfway through it before it hit me what I was watching...! Duh. I was too caught up in the song; it's one of my favorites now!

:clap_1: They did more than one version of it. Of course we love the Macy's version! It is a good song though. Pea to da pod and Kan to da ye. Maybe we'll call him up while you're in town and kick it for a while. ;-)

Oh, I need to start napping now.

Yes. I would highly reccommend that! None of this while you are in the city that never sleeps!
We can snatch up some A&F hotties while we're there too.
