Model Misfire

Oakridge Center Mall had this strange little event last night. It was a fashion thing with models on platforms showing fashions from various stores in the mall.

I felt this thing was a big miss. Not only was it not promoted but having it on the first day in the extended evening hours on a Saturday was not going to generate a lot of interest. It's odd too that there was a modelling platform close to the Tru Drama store but yet our models were on the other side of the mall in front of Wear Else. The snow storm and the mediocre models didn't help either.

So there goes a bunch of my marketing money down the drain! Fortunately the clothes still look fabulous.

Hi All! For modesty sake, I'll refer to myself "M". I know it's a bit dramatic but when you run a store it's a neccesity! Anyways, I run a little fashion boutique in Oakridge Centre in Vancouver called Tru Drama. Everyone believes that having your own clothing store is a dream job. In many ways it is but at the same time it's loads of work.

I've started this blog to give everyone a small window into our world.

The picture is when we first opened the store 2 years ago. It's changed a lot since then!
