So far today:

1. A Nigerian prince tells me I’ve had a wealthy relative die and has left me lots of money.
2. Access to my Amazon and PayPal accounts have been suspended and I need to click on the link in the email, enter my credentials and restore my access.
3. I won some sweepstakes that I never entered, and for a small fee and taxes (about $20k), I can collect my $1MM check!
4. A buyer on eBay has offered me $7,500 for my Cole Haan shoes that I was asking $10 for. I just need to send them back $7,400.
5. My best friend apparently ran off to Costa Rica and lost his wallet and passport and needs me to send him $2,000 via Western Union so he can get back to the US.

But nothing from AE...

Dude, I’ve been trying to reach you about the sweepstakes for weeks now!

We’re just going to hear some details today. It’s not like they’re taking orders on a first-come, first-served basis today.

I don’t understand what everyone is so uptight about. Am I missing something?

The joke?

 

[AEfaninTampa]

I commit to tell you as soon as I am able to. We have to get our ducks in a row internally first today

Pfft - hello!

P.S. You had to know this was coming...

Guys, I gotta tell you: Y’all are a bunch of weirdos.

I can only imagine what @ae_ashley thinks of all this.

If I'm a betting man, I'm going with equal parts amusement and excitement of her own.

[ELClodge]

I'm working a few things out in preparation for the announcement - do you think garnet shell Voyagers would be too loud?

 

[Ashley_S]

Are you ready?

 

[BagleyBrown]

 

[ProfilaBinding]

So I see I haven't missed the announcement. I see Ashley was waiting for me to arrive here. You can do it now, Ashley.

Merlot 2002 PA for today.

Are you ready?

I'm SO excited to announce details for the September 2019 Trunk Show!

We listened closely to feedback from the last show, and our team worked VERY hard to bring you what we think is one of the best shows we've ever constructed. I'm excited to hear your feedback!

On to the good stuff:


WHERE AND WHEN:

- The first leg of the event will go live Friday, 9/13/19 in San Francisco (Sutter St), LA (South Coast Plaza), and Chicago (Michigan Ave).
- The second leg of the event will go live Friday 9/20/19 in NY (Madison Ave), DC (City Center), and Orlando.
- These events will run from 6 PM until close of business.

** Although non “host” stores will not be having actual in store events or physical samples, you are absolutely are encouraged to reach out to your home stores to participate in this show! You can call in to any store, and you can shop in person with any store. Orders can be placed from September 13-September 23.**

- I will personally be attending the launch of the first leg in South Coast Plaza, and the second leg in NY Madison Ave, and I sincerely hope I am able to meet as many of you as possible! If you can clear your calendar that day, or if any of you are feeling up for a bit of a road trip, I would love to meet you!

- Beyond these offerings open to all customers and all stores, we will also be providing each HOST store with 10 pairs of Shaved Cordovan, for in store participants only. This color is first come first serve, and is intended to help provide incentive to customers to attend in person.

This is unacceptable.

Just received a pair of standard brown shell strands, but they have not been worn and I am considering returning for a Strand makeup with this chili shell. Excellent timing!
