So I'm back from my shopping extravaganza in LA!! To sum it all up: I'm overwhelmed, excited, shopped out, my feet are killing me, and I can't bear to look at another metrosexual/gay man who has on tighter pants then I do! So here are some pics of a few things we picked out....some of the things we aren't really sure we are getting! For example the hats...they are pretty pricey, and they want us to buy a bundle of them in order to carry them! And also those guys t-shirts! I don't love them.... The cutest things we got, I dont have on my camera! BOO! But we tried to get a variety of things from different tates, to different price ranges, although it seems like a lot of the thing we picked out seem to be a little bit on the higher end! YIKES! For instance....Ed Hardy t's for little kids! Super cute + Super expensive! And also the yellow top and dress we LOVED! But again pretty pricey! But we figure there are people out there who would buy it, or else they wouldnt sell right?? Dont fret though! We are looking for lines that are in the mid price range also! And the purses you see aren't that badly priced either! they range from like $65-$200 and we also got some other ones that aren't pictured that are SUPER cute!!! And those are like $400 + but I'm sure that's thet most expensive thing we will carry! Let me explain the pictures of the guys....The black man(meant in no bad way) is supposedly an up and coming rapper named BT he is signed with Motown records and suppposed to be big(dont they all say that?) But we did listen to his CD and it's actually really good! It could be big lie, but they seemed to make a big deal of him when he came in! The jacket he is wearing we actually ordered, and it doesn't look as cool in the pic, but I am telling you it is HOT!! One of my most favorite things we got for the guys! The other guy's name is Sterling Williams, he is actually the designer for that jacket! He is shooting a reality TV show right now about his new clothing line(sterling williams) and it's supposed to be on E entertainment if it gets bought that is....so look for me in the background! Haha! So my first shopping trip wasn't all that bad, and I'm geared up and ready to go to the next one in vegas in August! Wahoo!

Sounds like a lot of info in a short period of time. Yeah I did like the yellow dress by the way. I wouldn't even mess with Ed Hardy...it was such a fad..nobody enjoys him anymore and it's way to expensive for what it's worth. I would definitely pick out a couple of high end pieces that you think are quality as far as fabrics and the design. And see how it sells. You never know there could be a nich for it. But for the most part staying in the mid range price point is a good idea so you can afford to buy more pieces. Were the vendors willing to work with you as far as quantities? or did they have a set number? I did like that mens line that I saw pictures of. Did you order from them?
Okay, I have to say I almost bought a hat Exactly like the very front one with the snake things. $100 dollars though. I would have, but a hat....Not so much. I totally think we need higher end stuff here other than the trendy (blah) dooney and bourke crap. No offense. I want Ed Hardey bad!! I likey! I am excited for your store jocey!! Looks like it isn't all that goth though. I think that is a good thing. we already have a hot topic???
