Oh, and I guess I didn't mention the Castor & Pollux sample sale that I went to on Saturday, after rounding up my less glamorous errands (buying paper towels, getting my Contrex fix).
Castor & Pollux
June 23, 2007
Overall: 4/5. Completely unlike the Gen Art event and not at all in a bad way. If you've ever been to the store, you understand - it's about the size of a large Manhattan bedroom, and is located on one of those first, quiet, leaf-light-dappled streets West of the gaudiness of the Christopher Street stop.
People: The owners very nicely congratulated me on my purchases (all from the bargain bins on the floor) and seemed chirpily busy as they talked to the regulars, ordered coffees from the nearby Starbucks, and printed out receipts from their Mac.
Prices: $100 even for a 3.1 Phillip Lim white cotton sweater and thin-wale grey corduroys, and brown embroidered Mint sundress.
Selection: If you weren't me, you might have been able to afford the REAL DEALS - it seemed like the entire store's merchandise was marked down 30-50% (as coded by little round stickers on price tags). Labels like Rodebjer, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Cacharel, and Sonia Rykiel. The stuff you'd design if you were a designer.
