It started off slowly enough - just 1 rack of clothes which mushroomed into two racks. What caught peoples' attention most - the sign boldly proclaiming that all these clothes were just $1
ta daaa - our first browsers! There was seriously some damn good stuff there!
our little booth with tons of guys dropping by to check out the most fashionable NYP girls (;
thank goodness for our lovely boys helping to set up area - 5 racks and one table of bottoms!
everybody loves a good deal - bargain hunting rapidly underway
the lovely freebies we gave (thanks to fashpilgrim for the photo!)
Happy customer! Check out the stack of clothes Jia Min is helping her pack
Last day - time to pack up in thundery rains
#1 ALWAYS CARRY YOUR IKEA KEY
Leaning tower of clothes racks anyone? Even properly set up racks have a tendency to crumble once you put a certain amount of clothes on them - so make sure you have your ikea key handy to fix them up when they do
#2 HAVE BOYS AROUND - PREFERABLY CUTE ONES
Ahh - this is a real gem of a tip from Amin (formerly working at New Urban Male) and proven by the fact that last day sales with an all girl team was significantly poorer than previous days with all boy teams!
Girls flock to cute guys - Abercrombie anyone? Club rules apply - good lookers attract more good lookers and more crowds. Its not pretty to say it but I guess its true.
#3 THAT SAID, NEVER HAVE BOYS DO QUALITY CHECK FOR CLOTHES
Perhaps I'm too harsh but club rules apply for clothes too - good looking clothes attract more good looking clothes. In typical fashion style, you're only as good as your last show - in this case, your last swap.
If your last swap had crummy clothes or people didn't feel they got a good deal, fat chance of them showing up for the next one.
