Handsome Research junkie addicted to Economics and Current Political Events. Additional vices include theology, western philosophy, literature, American history, Middle Eastern History.
For years I worked as Account Managers for growing manufacturers and I think I have attended every trade show in existence at least once; Apparel, Gift, Electronics, Auto, etc. Most were apparel/fashion related shows and no I have never been to Milan. That venue is strictly for the snobs to show off. In the trenches are the mechanics like myself fine tuning our outfits with precision instruments. If you found shoes to die for at Saks, or a killer deal at TJ Maxx, I probably put it there. You're welcome.
