Am I getting better at writing titles or am I getting worse at detecting my own crappy jokes? Either way, I think the title shows what the entry is going to be about, and also provides some light humor in your otherwise office-space day. I just finished a quick meeting with our tag providers, and it turns out that we're in really good standing with them. We've got all sorts of discounts, all sorts of lifting of the infamous "minimum quantities," and they are willing to do business with us according to our "holy shit we need 700 tags in 3 days" business plan (that business plan has been trademarked by DressMonkey, I'm currently working on the book, due out never).

So this meeting I had yesterday alleviated a lot of my stresses that they wouldn't adapt to our requirements, let alone the FTC's crazy rules. Ever look at one of your fabric care labels in your blazer or any other article of clothing? Have any idea what those labels mean? Now you do. I never realized that starting this company would force me to learn such random things. For example, I never knew anything about fabric, I really couldn't tell the difference between cotton and wool, and now I'm guessing fabric compositions rather accurately (going into stores, molesting a blazer in order to guess its fabric composition, then testing yourself by looking at the fabric content tag to see if your a pro or not). Gucci's got nothing on me, their velvets aren't even close to getting past my acute sense of touch.

So our tags are almost done, boxes done, fabrics on their way...a DressMonkey blazer could soon be yours!
