Retail Therapy at Bendel (Open to NYC folk)

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

The Scientists at the Future Foundation decided that Alisa could go out on a little day trip. She had to be back before dark, and they gave her a little bit of homework for her trip. She had to come back with an item she purchased that she liked. No one could recommend anything to her, and she could not let others tell her what to buy. She had to decide for herself on ONE item, and then report how she felt about it from start to finish.

Alisa decided to try and shop for something small, like a nice handbag. It had been ages since she went into Henri Bendel's and bought herself a nice handbag. Well, one that was not recommended to her by someone else that was.

"Dis should be easy... just ONE item. One!" She thought to herself as she looked at all the "A-List" hand bags in stock. She picked one up that had a snake skin pattern and examined it carefully. "Actually, dis one looks kind o' wild. I t'ink I like it..."

She continued examining the handbag, as well as a black clutch for it. Why was it so hard to find something she, herself, liked? Why did it make her sick to not have direction?

"Dese Egg Heads better know what dey are doin' wit' dis little experiment."
