Remodeling in action at 43rd street, and single-handedly!

Today at Masquerade on 43rd Street, Stella and her team of hard-working costume ladies have been sweating it out in the humid weather while laboriously redesigning the store's layout for the upcoming Halloween season.

Preparing for Halloween during late May? Why, yes. And why so?

All the remodeling is a result of several factors:
1. Tons of new items have been arriving all week, and we need to reopen the space in the rear section of the store to store them.2. The items that we inherited from the closed Bliss Avenue store have finally found a home in their own section of our store, creating a need for new storage for new items.
3. The desire to create even more "Costumes by Genre" sections of the store.
and
4. Oriana was struck by a tremendous design inspiration that met with Stella's approval


See above for Oriana's master design plan leaping into action as she reassembles the front make-up display area.

The redesign plan involves fuller development of the make-up counter, including the birth of a make-up area storage closet. The plan also calls for the further development of the "costumes by Genre" sections, including a "Decades" section for classic retro costumes by the decade.


As for the single-handed aspect of the remodeling - see Stella in the photo above. Each of the ladies has been single-handedly putting in her own physical labor in her respective redesign section.

Ok, so Stella and the box carrying photo - maybe it's not exactly single-handed.... but rather, double-handed!
