Last week was my first week of Walkabout. On the first day Jason set me to organizing the men's section, which required alot of rehanging, buttoning, and color coordinating. When he left Lara took me on a grand tour of the tour, explaining designers and their importance and what to say to customers who were skeptical. It was a very accomplished day. I really liked the designs of Lilli Pulitzer especially, who is known for hiding her first name in all of her garments. We had a good time just laughing and talking, though it was a slow day. We tidied up, windexed counters, and only a few people came in but didn't buy anything. Wednesdays are usually slow, as she explained to me.

It was a really fun time actually, although there was a remark that I didn't look at my most vintage that day, which is understandable since I haven't had money to support my love of vintage in a while. However, as Lara explained to me, I am allowed to wear anything in the store while working. Well, practically anything- no silver tipped fox fur coats, for example. I didn't get too upset about that, and I just nodded and said I understood.


Lara and I discussed Walkabout and my needs, and she said I could come help out on Saturdays if I wanted more hours, as well as coming in on Sundays to model. She was so nice and thoughtful, and watching her in action is so funny. I was given the speech about Mad4Mod loyalty when a woman approached me about modeling and Jason said I was already taken by Mad4Mod. It didn't really bother me at all. All in all, it was quite a good day.
