The Debbie Downers: Mike & Chris
I got two hours of sleep last night, nearly missed my 8:00am class, and was caught in the rain during a pranked fire alarm while my omelette got cold and soggy inside. But who cares, today marked the day of the Mike & Chris sample sale, an epic fashion event I was sure to exploit. An excellent remedy for my day if you ask me!
So, I’m headed to the subway when I get a depressing call from my roommate, probably one of the biggest Mike & Chris fans I know. Apparently, the W 36th street location was completely empty, lights off, without product inside and a sign on the door saying that the merchandise never showed up and the sale was cancelled until further notice. Awesome.
Yesterday I reported that the brand is rumored to be going belly up. However, the sales director at the California base refuted that statement and claims that the company is merely “restructuring.” So that’s what they call it when the company mysteriously doesn’t pay their employees?
Dear Mike and/or Chris: Whoever the screw-up is that failed to show up with the clothes, advise him/her to flee the country before I sick all of my fashion-savvy friends and his/her ass. As for you two, get your shit together and don’t waste my time again…I could have been duking it out with the thousands of people at H&M for Comme des Garcons.
Trust me, I’m not one of those girls who will tell her readers a sample sale is cancelled just so I can have the best pick in the store (although, that’s not a bad idea…) If you don’t believe me, check out Racked…they posted the bad news too!
