The Fat Positive Lounge

[Soft*Silver]

I have had an incredible week at the shop! Its all coming together very well and while I am exhausted, I am thrilled and just cant stop obsessing over what to do next!

Just a few more days and it will be my Premiere Gathering. I invited a small group of people to come in, shop and tour the shop. And then I hand them an evaluation to fill out before they leave. I want to know what they think I did right, and what needs improved. I will take their suggestions and do them before my grand opening!

I now have a rounder of sexy underthings. Corsets, bras, teddies, camisoles, garter belts, etc. All either new or used once/tried on and didnt like for themselves. I even have a hot cop costume! I love it!

One of my biggest thrills is when mothers bring their daughters in. They turn them loose in the store and the kids go wild, so excited to find a whole store just for them! Hoodies, man, I could sell a dozen hoodies a day! LOL. Moms sit in the back, enjoying the comfy area, while the kids pick out clothes. And boy do they BUY! I had three separate families come in this week and from them alone, I can pay next months rent! But the real joy is watching mom be happy instead of shopping with daughters who are miserable because they cant find anything to wear. Or they buy things too tight just to have something. One daughter kept wanting to buy things that were not buttonable, or she couldnt get the zipper up. I had to talk to her about how important it was to look her best, and to do so, best fit is more important than having "something" I assured her so much more was coming in and that she was going to be able to find ALOT of clothes that fit her much better over time. Mom gave me a thumbs up. And the daughter took a shine to me, glad I think, that I wanted her to look good, and not just buy.

I love my life. I love my store...
