Now in their twenties, they remain...hands down, the most enjoyable three people I've ever met. And I was so worried before...so aware of the enormity that faced me. I've never had so much fun.

I would very much appreciate your reporting back to me your escapade with your nieces. We would really be tickled to find others enjoying this commen peculiar amusement.

Incidently, my oldest has been hired to spin fire at the Renaissance Festival the last two years, and probably will again at the next one. Feel welcome to say hello....he would get a kick from meeting a complete stranger so aware of his childhood memories.

Many thanks! The barbarian and elf ones I own; the Indian belongs to TRF; and Margarita's muy fabulosa Spanish ensemble was custom-made by one of my best friends, who's a stellar seamstress.

My theory is that since most college graduates use the Internet to do research, they just assume that most customers will do their own research about products on the Internet, and therefore there no longer is a need for knowlegeable salespeople.

On paper it seems to be a good idea, but in the real world, not so much.
