Q: What’s the only bad thing about going on vacation? A: Packing.   Just come to The Studio’s Travel Trunk Show and we’ll make it easy. If you want simple, non- wrinkling, comfortable, trendy clothes then this might be your uniform for summer – on vacation or not.  March 18th - 20th Thurs 10 - 8 Fri - Sat 10 - 5:30

“One of our earliest and wildest fantasies was that after ten years in business we would be in Fortune magazine. Imagine our excitement when Fortune called. It wasn’t a story they were after but a subscription. Ten years later fortune knocked again, this time in the guise of Oprah’s O Magazine.”… Marcie

“A lot of our day is spent shmoozing... it’s the heart and soul of The Studio”... Ilene

For 25 years when the three of us go on buying trips majority rules - it’s always been that way. In honor of our anniversary we have agreed to disagree. Here’s where we stand alone: 

On a hot day, just a twist and a clip and you’re cool and coiffed.  Brushed silver or tortoise, $26 - $30. (I’ve, already sold 12 . . . so there!) Sandy’s clip

I flipped for these! Silver  drops not only from the stud, but from the fastener. I think everyone will have to have a pair. $49

A washable, distressed corduroy shirt from a new unisex vendor, was so irresistible, that I
bought three for the men in my life and convinced Sandy and Marcie to do the same. They’re fantastic, wouldn’t you want one for your guy? (s-xl) $79	Ilene’s husband

• When we like something…we can sell it. We once sold salad dressing.

• On a busy Saturday we had a customer who held everyone captive while she tap danced in the middle of the store…she was 88 years old! 

• What women’s clothing store had a saleswoman who went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize in literature? We did! Jhumpa Lahiri won for Interpreter of Maladies, a wonderful collection of short stories. 

• How about the time a customer’s dog took down a rack of clothes. Poor thing buried under a pile of dresses. 

• And now for another Studio animal story…one way or another Marcie insisted this story be in the newsletter…. 

Once upon a time a man came to The Studio looking to buy a unisex Australian Outback raincoat we sold at the time. He told us that he worked for a kids’ sneaker company, Roo’s. He was on a promotional tour of local hospitals giving out sneakers with his baby kangaroo, Joey. Since Joey was in our new friend’s car, we excitedly invited him up. In walked what could only be described as a
giant rat raised on rear legs. He hopped once or twice and then they left - the man with his Outback, Joey with a few parting gifts on the carpet.
