Ok, I'm away for a few days and the thread disappears. :( If I'm organising a list of stores, I need some sort of suggestions! Even just random stores you wanna visit.
Help me out guys, I need some ideas from you.

What about the guys? Any guys want to suggest places they wanna visit? It's not strictly an all female shop you know...


Are there any shops with seats outside the changing rooms facing TV screens?

LOL, i actually like this idea. If this were the case in RL I would actually be able to drag someone shopping and they'd be happy to.

I'm actually interested if this has been done in SL....

If you are going to sit and watch TV while we try on things, you will also have to hold our purses -- but only if you do not talk to Trout first or let him help you.

Claire, I am not real good at keeping track of store names -- I mostly pop from sale to sale or off on freebie/cheapie hunts.

When I get inworld this afternoon, I'll skim my LMs to see what kind of interesting stuff I have that folks might want to check out.

I am happy to hold your purses as long as you don't want my credit cards in return . . .

ok Pep...you *really* wanna know?
here's just one of his ideas about holding purses lol....its not the only one mind...
From: Trout Recreant

From: Chris Norse
/me laughs at the thought of Trout holding a purse

I'm telling you Chris - they keep all sorts of weird stuff in there. If you do what I said up above, they never ask you to hold the purse again, but you have to be willing to really go for it. When they walk out of the dressing room, have every penny that was in the purse in your pocket - just steal it from them, and don't give it back, either - that's the Purse Holding Tax. Have two whole packs of gum and a box of tictacs in your mouth - mmmmm...crunchy AND chewy. Any snacks that were in there need to be gone, and spread the wrappers on the floor. If you have time, draw smiley faces on their tampons with their lipstick. Take their cuticle trimmers and cut little snowflakes out of any scraps of paper or receipts in there. Write fake checks for 1 million dollars to I.P. Freely and Marbleballs Mcfartnickel.

I promise, they will NEVER, EVER make you hold their purse again....EVER.
From: Elora Lunasea

Well, then you won't want me shopping with you. All I have in my bag are bare essentials; wallet, PDA, dental floss, keys, cell phone, some pills. No food to be found unless organic vanilla lip balm is included in that category. Let alone gum. Me shudders in horror.

Long distance crank phone calls, loudly offer to sell the pills to passerbys, Make fake entries in your PDA, eat the lip balm, tie 20 feet of dental floss to your keys and go "trolling for car thieves"

claire why not go to the sales thread and make a list of those who have mentioned their stores and visit each of them?

make it a different kind of shopping experience

(and I am not saying this because I am in that thread, you can skip my store)
I am saying it because it just seems to make sense kinda

Hmmm,

Slacks darn it can never find slacks that arent so low that your butt threatens to hang out. I like the fall shopping idea from earlier in the thread too.

I bumped it so you can find it easier, it is called advice on sales

a bunch of store owners have been giving suggestions and advice to each other on how to increase sales, promote their stores, marketing etc

some even requested reviews of their stores

it is a big thread with a ton of useful info and some good designers as well

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

If it helps, Claire, then I compiled a summary page for everyone in that thread to use. If you scroll past the initial links you'll find a fairly complete list of stores owned by those taking part, including SLurls etc. I've been rather AFK from the thread this past couple of weeks, so there might be a couple of newcomers that I've missed, but this is the majority of us:

Emporio Caproni's newest generation of skins is really nice too. Someone who shall not be named has a mall with a fruit name, where many of the skins can be found ;)

For a truly random experience you could try following all the store notices given in the fashion consolidated group. Lots of new stores and a few good but unknown ones.

Skell : That looks fab! I'll take a look. Should be a big help :)

HoneyBear: Emporio Camproni added to the list....along with the other business too :p

Bree: Thats a cool idea, I turned off the notices cause they were annoying me, but I could definitely see whats recent :)
