Over the past fifteen years, I have held some rather difficult jobs and worked with some seriously crazy people. It’s definitely been character building, to say the least.

		<description><![CDATA[Last month PinkyShears was invited to the Free People 40th Street showroom in NYC, to attend a sales meeting where merchandisers educated the store specialists and sales staff on styles for the upcoming Holiday '09 season.
