Has anyone checked out the new dog store, pupperazzi? I wanna check it out but everything closes downtown so early. Is it one of those crazy expensive places like Two Bostons? Any insight is appreciated!

They have some cool looking dog beds in the front window. I am ascared to look at them...and the price tags.

Yeah, nothing was quite as shocking as the $350 Juicy Couture Doggy Bag at Two Bostons. I just want a nice collar that won't matte up her fur and maybe a cubs jersey for my pup.

Nice woman in the store, not a lot of merchandise but she expecting more. Don't remember sticker shock, but don't think I was checking any prices.

This is the kind of cuckoo specialty store for rich suburban housewives that makes me vomit a little in my mouth...and IMHO, does NOTHING to enhance the CBD. (But a lot to signal the beginning of the Apocalypse.)
Yes, I'm sure I will offend women and dog lovers everywhere by this statement, but there you go. |

I certainly wish success for any and all economic venures in GE, but I'd LOVE to get a look at their business plan.

Hmmmm.... so you wouldn't be into the "cut your own organic, artisian-made soap from a bigger block of soap" store concept my wife's friends want bankrolled? |
|||
|
|
GlenEllynite |
Let me think about it, wait a second, wait a second..... No. |
|||
|
|
GlenEllynite |
Don't they already do that in the soon-to-be-sold/closed gallery in town? |
|||
|

Hi, Tell your wife's friends I said NO. If I want soap I cut myself there are many, many options. Let's see, there's Nordstrom, Lush at Macy's, and all the other fun, trendy boutiques I can find at Oak Brook or downtown. We are dog owners so I might check out the new store in town. Have to see what the prices are like, and what kind of merchandise they have. |

Let me know the price of those dog beds in the window, CLE.

I would vote "no" on the cutting soap yourself option, but I would love to see part of a store dedicated to fun or nice designer soaps for your house. Knickers usually offers some, but I would love to see more. And not the regular bar of soap with a design on it, more the actual form of the soap cut into the design. Knickers currently has angel soaps that are really cool. Again though, not an entire store. |

I have long felt I'm missing a female gene or two, and that's very clear to me now. Because honestly, I can't think of anything (well, maybe except for expensive dog accoutrements)that interests me less than purchasing - soap. Maybe that's because I grew up in a house where a bar of Lava soap was kept by the kitchen sink and that was it. No scented soaps, no girly soft soaps, nada. Just a plain ol' bar of Lava. Germ-killing sandpaper for the hands. At least I have advanced to placing bottles of soft soap - with a pleasing scent - by all the sinks in my house. But I refuse to evolve further. |

Remember Sweetheart soap? |
|||
|
|
GlenEllynite |
No, I don't know what that is. It's not Lava, so I'm unaware. (I still have no idea why my mother insisted on using Lava, exclusively. It's not like any of us were mechanics or anything. We were just suburban kids in the Sixties and Seventies who grew up to have hands like granite.) |

That is pretty funny.... |

Scribbler, I'm feeling fortunate that we had Irish Spring!
I hear yea on the missing gene...we used soap, plain old white soap for everything, even shaving legs. How we ever got our mom to buy Irish spring amazes me. The gene must skip a generation because my girls have everything that is feminine and fragrant. |

I do love the smell of Irish Spring...useless information alert, but the original manly guy in the Irish Spring TV commercials, way back when, is Matthew Perry's (of "Friends" fame) father.
I really have no idea why I carry such information around in my head. |

GlenEllynite |
I use Irish Spring in my gardens to keep the deer away. So far so good.

Wasn't he the Old Spice sailor, too? And, why do I know that? Love the soap story. I tell my kids some of the stories and they don't believe me. BTW, could be the childhood, but I'm missing the girly shopping gene, too. Don't really miss it. Just don't have it. |
