A tiny British butler! Reminds me of a mother I knew, who had taught her small sons to always put their hands on their back if they were in a shop. They’d be walking around, all contemplative, like little old men. I loved that.

As I’ve said somewhere upthread, we retailers need our own BCO. So much pain.

Amen, girl. I’ve worked in a boutique for seven years and I still have nightmares. Of the top of my head: a mother who got pissed at me for not letting her child tear everything off the shelves, who went home to type an angry yelp-review that included the beautiful phrase: “They shouldn’t make those shelves at kids…

We need a BCO for people like you and myself (retail, seven dark years). Behind Closed Registers?

Oh my God. I worked in a shop for seven years and had my share of shit from parents and children, but this... I would have killed her.

Who was she?

When I still had a little garden, my cat was the Jack the Ripper of the neighborhood.

I used to work at Christie’s, when I was a poor art history student. Every time there were jewelry auctions they got completely paranoid about things like this, because there were a few days when people could come by and see or try the jewelry. Once a couple of loose diamonds were stolen - don’t remember what they…

I went to a creche in Amsterdam in the eighties, my parents didn’t make a lot of money and my mother was still in university. All daycare in Holland uses this system, so even families with low incomes or single mothers on government assistance can bring their children to a creche! Somehow, our society survives.

They’re not really supposed to look like lifeless dolls

Bella Hadid looks like she’s sleeping with her eyes open. If that’s “vintage chic”, everybody has been doing it wrong.

True love!

I will NEVER stop loving Moonstruck. Nicholas Cage and Cher are the most perfect couple in the history of ever.

No knotting?
