NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: REMEMBER TO WRITE BLOGS

well it appears it's been over a year since my last entry. typical. i obsess over things and then i let them slip through my fingers. i like watching things fall away from me as much as i like clutching them tightly to my chest. two sides: one coin. with the former, i feel lighter; less tied down. the latter gives me a second of stability. who i am depends on the day.
it's been an incredible year for frock. this little business just keeps on truckin' and it's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT because of the sweet souls that float through the door day after day. and the lovely girls who work for me. it's recently come to my attention that i never introduced arden on my webpage. (mon dieu!)
arden is a tall lanky creature with a fetish for TIGHTS AND BOOTS! she's got legs up to her armpits so this look seriously works for her. it's kind of irritating for those of us who hover closer to the ground. she yells as much as i do, which delights me, but possibly freaks out unexpecting newcomers who venture into the store. i met her when she purchased a 1960's baby blue cupcake dress from me that she wore to her grad. her enthusiasm made me fall in love with her. i hired her on the spot even though she wasn't sure she wanted another job. i ensured her that she did and I WAS RIGHT!!! which i love. arden has recently decided she's going into fashion design, and that pleases me immensely. what clothing store doesn't need an aspiring fashionista in their back pocket? she's environmentally conscious, has great taste in music, and often choreographs super slick dance moves to her favourite songs that she'll share if you ask her.
so if you come in, please be nice to sweet arden!!! and i'm going to try and stay on top of this blog!!! eeeeek!! also: it's january and stuff has to sell, so..............SALE!!!
see you soon sweet angels. k.
