Let's talk about bad headshots. We've all seen them and many of us have them. Some use their own selfies and others use cell phone images that friends and family have taken of them. I get it. It's easy, cheap, and quick. You fully intended to do something about it in the future, knowing a cell picture was not the image you wanted to present, but you just have not gotten around to having your headshots taken yet. Your intentions are good, but unfortunately, your potential clients aren't judging you on your intentions. They're judging you on your headshot, which can make or break you. So, what does all of this have to do with a dirty floor mat?
I was walking in the mall yesterday on my way to find something specific for a styled shoot, and I came upon a store which appeared to be the type of store where I might find the item.

A filthy floor mat; frayed on all sides, and thoroughly worn. No joke, this mat was awful. It looked like someone salvaged it out of the city dump, and there it was, the only thing standing between me and the store. I was immediately disgusted that anyone would put that mat down at the entrance to their business. For one, I was at the mall and you KNOW how expensive the rent is at the mall. And two, this ugly mat was my greeting to their store; where they want me to spend my money, but unfortunately, a dirty, worn mat said a lot about the business and the person who owns it. I looked at my daughter and said, "this is not the type of store I want to spend my money in; LOOK at that mat!", and we
Marshall Field’s designed a personal shopper assistance program called Tip to Toe shop (107). These assistances helped put together an entire outfit, with pieces collected throughout the store (107). Shoppers didn’t even have to be in the store to benefit from this program (107). One customer was so pleased with her shipped ensemble, that she invited her personal shopper to her husband’s inaugural ball (107). The staff would also help customers with a short budget, find good quality attire that was not couture (105). In result, shoppers benefitted largely from the staff at Marshall
I ended up feeling neutral about the experience. Half of the store was lingerie, and about a quarter were dildos and vibrators with a collection of porn in one corner. There seemed to be a greater number of items geared towards women than there were for men. I was also surprised that there was only one fetish that was really represented. There were several items for sadomasochists, but none to speak of for any others. It seemed as though the BDSM items were probably recently added after Fifty Shades of Grey took off, as many of the items referenced the book or movie. I was also surprised by the people who were there when we arrived. There were only four people there, and two were only interested in the lingerie. The other two were women who only looked at the dildos. One woman did come up and ask the cashier if she remembered her, which caught me off guard. It made me wonder if they have a more set clientele or if they tend to have more newcomers. I was going to ask, but there was only one person working and she wandered off before I could get the chance. Finally, I was really surprised by how many gag gifts there were there. I understand that many of them were vulgar and that many other stores would not sell these kinds of items, but it reminded me of a Spencer’s. There were several items that were not for pleasure, just for entertainment value for bachelorette parties and the like. I did not expect there to be as many items

Concussions are they bad? Concussions are bad for you to receive but not as bad as other brain injuries, from my experience coming home from just playing in a football game I was hit by another car going 60mph to the driver side. I sustained a brain bleed which is worse than a concussion, but I can tell you what a concussion is like having to go through all of the therapy/ recovery. Concussions are one of the most world's leading injury. Concussions are fairly common every 21 seconds it's estimated that there is someone with new trauma to the brain in the U.S.
In the early fall September of 2014, I remember walking in this store that is one of the biggest names anyone can name which is Versace. Versace is a well-known Italian fashion company that you can see from well-known celebrities wearing down on the red carpet for award shows or down the streets of making an outfit statement. Going inside the store is golden which has a mix of vibrant color that you feel like a movie star while paparazzi flashing you drastically.
According to the CDC, 20 percent of falls cause a serious head injury. Millions of people have neck injuries from serious falls, and 2.5 million senior citizens seek treatment in emergency rooms after a fall.
“Outlet shopping is perhaps luxury’s greatest ploy to get its goods into the hands of anyone and everyone,” (Thomas, Pg. 246). “But outlet shopping is the antithesis of the flagship, the antithesis in fact, of luxury itself.” (Thomas, 2007. Pg. 247) Columnist Karen Heller explained to Thomas after visiting Woodbury Common Premium Outlets in New York, “The clothes were marked down, picked over and repeatedly pawed, the opposite of how they were originally displayed. Their power to enchant seemed minimized, even at a third the price, smashed together like produce in a storage hold.” Thomas explains how luxury merchandise is purely just that, leftover “luxury” products: overproduction. No longer does luxury embody the experience of pampering nor does it signify class and wealth. Some
They will approach you and ask if you need any help picking clothes out but most of the time the staff let you see what you want and buy it, it is this what makes the stores so good you enter with a very relaxed atmosphere no one really pressures you to buy the clothes of coarse the one pressure you do have when entering is if you have enough money to buy there clothes!

In Anne Norton’s, "The Signs of Shopping", Anne Norton, a Political Science Professor at the University of Pennsylvania determines the ways in which malls, catalogs, and home shopping networks create our sense of “identity”. In the first part of her essay, “Shopping at the mall”, Anne analyzes the ways in which malls and catalogs “tell you who you are by selling you what they want.” Anne first states what she believes the mall was created to be; she believes it was created to be an impulsive gathering place and place of centralized public activity. Anne then goes on to state how she believes the mall has come to exploit the lifestyles and identities of people, especially those of young women. Anne makes the claim that the mall appears to be
Outlet malls are considered fast fashion as well. The companies make it out to seem like we are getting a “deal” on these products that didn’t sell in the actual store but digging deeper many outlets will produce items at lower quality simply for the outlet malls to trick consumers.
Bargain, thrift, second-hand, whatever the name may be, it is a shop the sells used clothing and other items. It isn't something to be afraid or ashamed of going to.
