Venting-As most of you know, I have a little bridal shop. I'm not one of those who'll cut tags out of gowns, or won't do a quote over the phone. I DO allow brides to take photos (heck I'll snap the picture for you) in my shop. But Saturday I had a chance to see why most salons say no to pictures-I had a young lady in the shop looking at gowns right before I was closing for the night. She calls her MOH on her cell an ask her to rush over, so I agree to hang out a while longer for them. So the girl gets there and runs in with her camera, and ask where's the dress. So she shows her the grow in the catalog and tells her that I don't have it in the store. The MOH says out loud 'well if I don't have a picture from every angle I can't copy the design'. Really I couldn't care less who copies what, I can't tell anybody what to do with their money. But that was by far the tackiest display I've ever witnessed. But it gets better-the broad (MOH) asked me to photocopy the picture in the catalog for her. I gave her the web address and the name of the gown. She then says, 'if she orders it to try on, is she obligated to buy the gown?'.... What a way to end the day, thank God I have a good sense of humor, cause really for a minute I thought I was being Punked!

The nerve!!! I thought I asked a lot of questions, but darn...That is unbelievable. You must've been on that MTV show "Boiling Point" I know you reached yours dealing with those two.
I'm a married woman as of December 2, 2006.
Delight yourself also in the Lord & He shall give you all the desires of your heart.-Psalm 37:4
that is so crazy for her to some thing like that. so did she end up ordering the dress or did they just leave your shop
them two women are a hot mess! I would've been upset and No! the dress can not be ordered to try on. that's what I would of told them ghetto hussy's.
Nope, they rolled out after I told them I don't order gowns just for try ons.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
What in the world were they smoking? I mean that is very disrespectful to you.
I am sorry that happended to you phenmonique! It can be frustrating, but for every bad apple you will get a bushel of good! I get girls coming into my store and wanting to rip out copies of invitations. I don't know why they won't ask for a sample! I even had someone ask for my dealer number so that they can corder straight from the wholesaleer after a two hour consultation! [lol]

Right about nah I probably would have seen on the run from the po po.

Oh no, you ladies are crazy I'm cracking up here reading these posts! It is moments like Niquey's and Rosie's that truly test your ability to remain calm, cool and collected. I honestly don't know if I would've been able to act like a lady, I probably would've lost it and repented later!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
It would have been a "pre-meditated" sin - but sweetgirl was gonna cuss and deal with it later.

Charly gurl you are exactly right with this one!

Some people just know how to bring out the "NEGRO" in a person.

Some people do have that affect, when they forget themselves and resort to being 'GHETTO'.

Update- Do you know that chick called me today and asked me could I borrow the dress from the company so she can try it on!! She should be the poster child for the 'Say No To Drugs' campaign.
Living my life like it's GOLDEN!!
LOL that is to funny phenomonique she must really be crazy to think that you would do that for her she is just wasting your time
Sista gurl is a little touched and she's lucky you didn't come through the phone and strangle her!

I am not surprised all business owners are not acholics to be honest - I would have probably taken a sip just to avoid cussing an idiot who could have very well been a potential call back or referral. Good thing I get Jesus ah!
