SCENE AROUND WORK

It seems that I am now back into the full swing of things with the job, and have been very busy with fall designer shop installations. This past week was extremely busy with some floor moves, and the start of changing our fashion into early winter clothing and some glitz and shine for the holidays. Next week will bring our holiday kick off meeting in New York. Some photos to come shortly with what I've been working on lately this week. It then occurred to me I have never shared the behind the scenes of the store. Just some of the snaps of sites behind the closed doors....
 
Part of the visual workshop...filled to the brim...
 
box of various chandeliers....
 
 
Some of the various mannequins....
 
 
some men's mannequins.....
 
Here is what the above men mannequins looked like dressed.....
 
Golden opera chairs....
 
not even the tip of the iceberg of the Christmas trim....
 
who doesn't like disco balls......
 
Greek goddess busts.....
 
really big balls...
 
tons of apothecary jars and glass trays.....

 
for stepping out.......
 

 
you'll have to excuse Magada, her hair is out getting did.
 
 
We sure could have a hell of a yard sale one day.

  5. Where ever does Magada get her brows done? They perfect. You certainly have the resources there. Very cool to see all the stuff.

  8. I bet when the store's closed and the lights are off, those mannequins come alive and just have a gay old time!

    1. Now that I would love to see. What a great story. But I'm wondering how you incorporated a dildo into it.
