Just off the plane and back on firm ground here in Dallas. It’s good to be back and breath that good ole muggy air. MMMMMMMM. Honestly though, after the sensory overload of Vegas, home is a really nice thing. I no idea how that town works. It is a 24/7, non-stop, in your face, loud slice of Americana. Seriously, you can walk through a casino and onto the strip and within the space of about 400 yards you will have seen high rollers (with escort), tank tops and mullets, terrible casino dealer outfits, burned out cocktail waitresses, kids flying across the floor on Heeleys, groups of girls all wearing the same mini cocktail dress, immigrants handing out strip club flyers, and dudes walking around drunk with fruity cocktails in 3 foot high containers. Phewww. Yeah, all that in just a few hundred yards.

Well, it was a pretty good show for us. As we evolve and get feedback from you guys, selecting all our products becomes a little easier. We always want to expand your horizons and bring new styles colors and labels never before seen in dallas, but having a good handle on what trends are picking up in Dallas really helps. You have to consider a range of things from color, brand, style, size and price when sorting through the thousands upon thousands of brands out there. To add to that, most of the stuff at the show is slated for a Spring 2009 delivery, so while while you might be gearing up for cold weather, we are thinking about things heating up next Spring. Needless to say, it’s a little over whelming but that isn’t to say we didn’t have some fun along the way.

As we told you last week, we joined up with Kiddrae254 and Picnic (formerly of PPT) for the show. We’ve added some of the stand-out pics from the trip to our blog, but you can see the complete series HERE and HERE.
