Making Noises

Blu’s is one of the stores  I’ve always been intimidated by. Holt Renfrew is another.   I get what I call  “Reverse Pretty Woman Syndrome.”  You know the scene in the movie where the character Julia Roberts plays is going into these high end stores on Rodeo Drive and the sales people are shining her on because, based on the way her character looks, the sales people feel she’s not good enough, or rich enough, to shop there.  Until she enters one boutique where they treat her well, and she spends all of the money Richard Gere’s character gives her.  Afterwards, she returns to the boutique that snubbed her with her bags of purchases and asks the salesperson if she remembers not helping her yesterday.  After the salesperson responds in the affirmative, Julie Roberts’ character asks if she works on commission and the sales woman answers that she does.  Julia Roberts’ character waves the bags of clothes in her face and says “big mistake, huge.”

I have that in reverse–I feel I’m not good enough, or rich enough, to shop there.

The sales people likely don’t care.

Blu’s is having a up to 80% off sale  – starts tomorrow and runs until Sunday,  January 10, 2010.  I love a deal so maybe I’ll be able to over come my Reverse Pretty Woman Syndrome enough to go there!
