Early this month, I went down to help Priscilla and the gang for their August Apparel Market in Dallas. This was such a great learning experience. I was able to see how much went into market when helping the customers and keeping the showroom fresh. I was especially pleased to meet Sarah - Priscilla's daughter & Holly - one of our models moms...they were a riot and it is great to finally put a face with a name.
I helped a few customers, thankfully they were new to the market circuit and just opening up so that made me feel more comfortable to be working with another fellow newbie. I was also able to give clients a little more information regarding our history of the factory, location, and information regarding the garments/fabrics. I had a few customers come in that were local to our area and didn't realize: #1 We were right down the road from them; #2 that we were made in the USA......what?!?!
I am slowly educating all of #1 & #2....one frilly panty at a time.
The first night, they had a fashion show showcasing the participating reps Sp 12 lines. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Bob, my new boyfriend...I mean Priscilla's husband :) We gabbed it up while Priscilla help introduce the models strutting down the runway.
Day 2 - I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Klaus, he is the president of
CWD Kids Catalog Company. Chad is going to kill me but I think he is my 2nd boyfriend if he'll let me say that :) I have emailed and worked with him for several years and this is totally not how I pictured him! He was extremely nice and adorable!
