mystery object found in store


from whence it came we do not know. our immediate reaction was to claw out each-other's throats and, broken and bloodied, hold the glowing object to to our jealous hearts while huddled in the corner of one of the dressing rooms. days stretched into weeks as we crouched transfixed, our dark master nourishing us and showing us a cruel world of pain and pleasure. anyways, if you dropped this in the store we can be reached at 503.239.3959 sunday/monday 12-6 tuesday-saturday 12-8.

How to Loose a Customer in One Dressing Room

wow. here at Frank James we are rarely shocked, however today we stumbled upon something that blew our minds. Fellow shoppers, retailers, or friends reading, prepare yourselves for this. we like to think of this concept as "How to loose a customer in one Dressing Room".



"To protect the retail stores' investment in apparel and the customer's make-up. Protect garments from being soiled so they will not be "marked out of stock". (MOS) Stops the transfer of make-up to garments and keeps customer's hair and make-up in place. Prevents earrings from snagging the garment" To Purchase: www.vaaardvark.com

HAHAHAHA
