Retail Wooing is the New Relationship

Monday, July 16, 2007

Project Beltway

I’m all about all forms of wooing (hand-written declarations of devotion, thoughtfully planned dates, and slightly-nerdy-but-brave-men wielding boomboxes blasting In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel). Since none of these things ever seem to happen, I’ll settle for cupcakes, lunch, and free manicures from my friends-with-retail-benefits at CUSP this month.

TOMORROW NOON – 2: Ladies & gents, don’t bother bringing lunch to work tomorrow if you’re of Circulator-distance to CUSP’s Georgetown location.

FRIDAY JULY 20; 1:00 – 4:00 PM: CUSP Birthday Party. Expect cupcakes and “pampering.” Mystery pampering is fine with me.

THURSDAY JULY 12 & JULY 26; 5:00 – 8:00 pm: CUSP After-Work Party. Expect complimentary Chanel nail polish “changes” (does this mean I need to slap some nail polish on before I go?) and makeup “touch-up service” from Jemma Kidd and Bobbi Brown cosmetics.

    John Cusack is very cool, fashion and romance wise.

    I just want to point out (because I feel that Cusp has mislead Washingtonian fashionistas) that Cusp is just the juniors department of Neimans- it’s the Co-op to Barneys. A store like Cusp can move into G-town and carry the same lines as a small store like Wink across the street and put them out of business. Support character and small business in G-town and don’t be lured by cupcakes handed out by department stores.
