The first Torrid store - Brea Mall - Brea, CA (Opened April 18, 2001)

Designed by JGA, Inc. 

From the book: “The retailer, Hot Topic, based in City of Industry, CA, started a short 12 years ago with a concept and a target market; cutting edge apparel, accessories and novelty items--all inspired by alternative music, oriented towards a hip and trendy, teenage market. Hot Topic changed the look of their retail settings, which are usually located in mainstream malls, and the company has recently taken aim at another special market. The new focus is on plus-size teens; an area that the fashion market seems to have neglected. 

Up until this time the 15-30 year old hip and trendy young women who wear sizes 14-26 had no other choice but to shop in the larger size women's shops where the fashions were tailored to the more matronly and conservative tastes. That is how Torrid was born! 

Torrid was introduced in a new, hot and fun retail setting designed by JGA, Inc. of Southfield, MI which has designed the various prototypes for the Hot Topic stores as well. To be sure of the need for such a niche to be filled, the company opened five Torrid shops almost simultaneously; the first in Brea, CA, followed by stores in malls in Mission Viejo, CA, Annapolis, MD, Omaha, NE, N. Attleboro, MA, and Littleton, CO. The merchandise offerings are clustered as "Streetwear," "Clubwear," Rockabilly Wear," and Renaissance Wear" and the stores average about 2,750 SF. Besides the "everyday" slacks and novelty T-shirts, these larger size young women can find black vinyl pants and mini-skirts, black corsets, dog-collar chokers and platform shoes as well as retro-inspired clothing and accessories. In addition to the gothic and prom dresses, Torrid also carries a full line of lingerie for this particular market. Listening to the target market, Hot Topic's Torrid offers teenagers and up the opportunity to look "girly yet fierce." 

The design objective for the prototype store that was designed by JGA, Inc. was to create "a celebration of abundance" and make the setting as unique, unconventional and spirited as the plus-size young women who will be shopping here. Inspired by a "mythological, after-hours club in New Orleans," the atmosphere is romantic, dark and filled with a sense of "unbridled passion." "From the signature flaming heart icon to the curving voluptuous lines throughout the store, excessive materials and scale mirror the zest of the Torrid woman." It starts out front with the shopper-stopping facade which serves as a dramatic gateway to the store. 

The curvaceous and sensuous "hourglass" figures of the Torrid customer is expressed in the hand-crafted metalwork and the backlit translucent glass glowing red. A "drippy" red chandelier and the hand blown flaming heart torcheres add to the store's distinctive sense of place and being. The mosaic porcelain tile floor sets the color palette of jewel tones and metallics. "Visually complex, layers of finishes and architectural pieces evoke a one-of-a-kind artistic flavor." The eclectic mix of fixtures, furniture and furnishings-even the armoires--add to the New Orleans flavor. The hand painted, whimsical and overscaled armoires or cabinets are used to anchor the various zones within the store and at the center of the space a large bronze metallic drape further divides the departments.

The designers added special touches to each area to create that unique, one-of-a-kind feeling to the design. Specially designed, oversized red sculptured chairs with slatted backs are featured in the shoe area. Shoes and accessories are displayed on the slatted backs. The lingerie area takes on a more intimate and exotic--almost Moroccan--feeling with the hand blown glass chandeliers suspended down from large plaster domes. Seen behind this area--beyond a hand painted wall and arc--are the individual, oversized dressing rooms which are equipped with flattering uplights and decorative chandeliers that are visible from other parts of the store. The cash wrap becomes a "focal fantasy" in the total design and it resembles a giant canopy bed topped with twisting shapes and forms.

The space is filled with a pulsating excitement that is so appropriate for the merchandise and the young clientele. In addition to the shimmering palette of rich, deep colors, the warm colored downlights not only enrich the ambient colors and textures but they enhance the merchandise display. The traditional long and narrow mall space is broken up into more personal and individual zones by the variations in ceiling heights, the tin ceilings, finials and the assorted wall coverings. The use of brocades, metallics, and jewel tones on the walls also help to differentiate areas in the store. The metal fixture system--tortoise shell like in appearance--was customized to accommodate the products unique size and length requirements.

If all goes as well as anticipated we can expect to see more and more Torrid shops opening up across the USA- maybe even as many as 700 outlets!”

Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter.

*A known game bug may disable some shelf slots. If you cannot access more than 2 slots on the hosiery/lingerie racks (the ones with 4 or 6 bars), download ONE these fixes: MORE_Custom-objects-placeable-on-shelves (Numenor, 2006) MORE_Custom-objects-placeable-on-shelves+LOCKEDTILES (Numenor, 2006) Object Freedom 1.02 (Fway, 2023)

Functional Apparel Objects Apparel objects are debug items and show up as “clothing pile” in the catalog (Misc > Dressers). They must be placed on one of the DEBUG displays/shelves or they’ll float. Once purchased, take them out of the sim’s inventory and choose from one of the following: Purchase Clothing. Select an outfit (or several) of any type. Each apparel object is worth §100 towards the TOTAL cost. Sims save more money (and your businesses make more money) if they use one apparel object per new outfit. Sell. Recycle the object for §100 simoleons.  If you exit the Buy Clothing window without adding anything to your shopping cart, §100 will be added to the sim’s household funds instead. Apparel objects are worth §100 regardless of how much sims pay for them on OFB/community lots. Pricing an item below this amount can function like a discount sale (i.e., pay $75 in-store and §100 towards the purchase or a 25% “discount/rebate.” You can decide whether this counts as cheating). Pricing it above this amount is not recommended since sims will end up losing extra money. Debug objects have slots which “catch” fellow clones if you place them too close. To prevent this when trying to clutter them close together, turn “snap objects to grid” OFF and “move objects” OFF.

How to be a Bull Ch 7: Work

((FINALLY got to this one. Sorry yall.)) (Model is Elton Mota)

A prejudiced view might find it strange to see a Bull at such lofty heights in the corporate ladder. The uninitiated would see their size and assume that they have nothing to offer but eye-candy.

But our market research has shown that a large percentage of bulls actually thrive in high-achieving positions. Advertising, PR, R&D. Skilled professionals from doctors and lawyers to esteemed academics often get bit by the bull bug.

There is a clear set of transferable skills acquired when you spend your non-working hours totally gym obsessed. Discipline, Patience, Self-direction. Being able to work yourself, withstand the strain of constant progressive overload and always come back the next day ready for more.

Couple that with the bull lifestyle being more expensive than one would expect; with tons of protein, supplements and something’s extra. With specially tailored apparel because normal stores can’t contain your bulk any longer. With hyper-exclusive gym memberships and competition fee’s because that unending lust for growth requires constant improvement of facilities and community who shares your addiction.

The end result for the company is a driven, growth obsessed highly skilled worker who excels in handling large, well defined projects well ahead of the deadline because they know their muscle is at stake if they don’t.

*insert abyssal chanting*

Elton is the go-to guy for those big accounts at the Avis Athletics Agency. The look of absolute focus and fire in his eyes is sometimes frightening. Total dedication given to both sides of his life. They synthesize so naturally for him. It's like he puts every muscle and sinew into his work, and lets his work fuel every inch of growth. 

The gym at Agency HQ is state of the art, an obvious requirement given our team. But for Elton it basically functions as a secondary office space. On the phone talking with clients while he reps out a new PB on company time. He says his mind works best and is clearest when pumping iron. That pure euphoria of the mind-muscle connection truly boosting his performance through the roof. It’s such a potent addiction that when the gym was closed for maintenance for a month, the CFO offered to let Elton use his private suite just to keep his numbers high.

Company meetings with Elton are likewise a key to his productivity. The tight business attire straining around his form does end up distracting and reducing the overall work done by anyone else in the room, yes. But something about the attention drives our highest earning bull into a frenzy. Like his own personal audience. Intimately aware of how he outsizes every single man in the room. Going through the plan for an acquisition or a partnership deal that’ll PUMP PUMP PUMP the stock prices through the roof. Unconsciously flexing every time he gestures for a prop, veins visible beneath the sheer fabric of his dress shirt. Excitement palpable in the air as sweat trickles down that massive back, the fabric of his slacks starting to tighten even more. The rest of the boardroom doesn’t even need to speak. They know he’s got it.

In one wild 9-5 he gets the project that was slated to take 2 weeks on the CEO’s desk. Without a word he packed up and headed straight to the gym to unleash all that pent up energy. The CEO made a mental note to schedule more board meetings with Elton, and to make sure that his Holiday bonus was more than enough to ensure he came back from vacation 20lbs of pure muscle heavier

How to Drive Oneself Nuts Writing a Sims 3 Legacy

Writing a storyline before you actually sit down to play the game to capture screencaps can be mindnumbingly difficult. In part because of the brain thinking up of scenarios that cannot be duplicated in the Sims 3.

For example:

Anticipation to see Victoria’s sights got the pair up early in the morning. Breakfast was a continental breakfast downstairs in the hotel restaurant. Then it was off to see the Bay Centre with a little more relaxing pace than the hurried pace they had sustained yesterday night.

River’s glance towards him was coy and flirtatious; “I wanna go see La Senza…” she said in a low voice.

“OK…” Haruo said. He knew there were other shops that he wanted to frequent too, but he would head for La Senza with River because it was what she wanted and well…there were benefits for him too…although those would be reaped in private.

River spent at least half an hour to an hour in La Senza browsing through the various intimate apparel that was available. This was a side of her that Haruo was not acquainted with; the passionate River, the tantalizing glimpses of her as they made love in the bedroom or hotel rooms were a delight to his own libido, but the one that was just out of his reach right now was the one that wanted to start a family with him. But he had a plan. That he was about to execute.

When River had finished up and Haruo had provided his credit card to pay for said items, he suggested that they go to Ann-Louise jewelers. River raised an eyebrow in question. Haruo just grinned enigmatically. They both walked hand in hand into the jewelry store.

By this time, I know I have to have a jewelry store in the story and an attendant as well as some display cases. The question is though can I find jewelry, rings and other things that are sold at a jewelry store so that I can create this so that I can screencap a few shots in here to go along with the storyline. This is one of the reasons why this story is stalled at the moment. I just don't have the patience to deal with this at this time.

Because later on in the story just a few paragraphs down:

Not everyone could drop §98,500 simoleons on an engagement ring, but Haruo could… and River was worth it. She was going to get surprised. Because there was also something else Haruo had planned this afternoon. It was attending the Fairmont Empress’s afternoon tea. The Fairmont Empress like the Grand Pacific, that Haruo and River were staying at, overlooked the Harbour and it was a quick walk over to the Fairmont from their hotel.

But currently, they were at the Bay Centre and they wanted something to eat. “Hey, can you go find us both something to eat?” Haruo asked River. “I gotta make a run to the washroom, I think I remember seeing one…just before La Senza.”

“Don’t they have one in the food-court?” River thought Haruo was acting kind of strange.

“Yeah…but the food-court one always ends up busy as heck and I don’t want to wait for a stall to open up.” OK…that sounded logical.

“You OK with A&W?”

“Yeah, I’m fine with A&W…” Haruo said. River gave him a kiss and he wandered off to go find a washroom…or more accurately nail down that ring and the other one in the display case.

It was about twenty minutes later that he came back. River eyed him with a disbelieving stare “Twenty minutes?”

“Yeah…somehow that one got just as full.” Haruo prevaricated looking as innocent as ever, “…had to wait for three guys…only three stalls in that bathroom and evidently everyone just had to come in right at that time, y’know.” He was lucky. She had bought him an A&W Mozza Combo and herself a Mama Burger combo; she got onion rings, she got him a large fries with the bank card he’d passed to her from his operating account which had roughly about §558.00 in it at the time. The two rings were tucked deep within his pockets, the keys to his Mercedes resting on top of them. He plunked himself down in the chair and grinned at her. River shook her head at him indulgently. Whew…she didn’t guess. Haruo thought as he sat down to munch on his Mozza burger.

I have to build an entire FOOD COURT from scratch? Why the hell does my brain do this?!

Oh…and did anyone miss the It was attending the Fairmont Empress’s afternoon tea.

In just ONE paragraph my brain has decided that it is going to make me build TWO F***ING VENUES!!!

Again, I ask myself. WHY does my brain decide that it's going to do this to me?

General Character

Vivi is the type of Addison that prioritizes more on customer satisfaction over anything else. She is super nice towards everyone and a people pleaser, but do not mistake her kindness as a weakness.

Vivi will know whether you're being genuine or not. She'll playfully poke fun at, and brush off those who try to put her down until they get fed up and leave. (If bigotry is involved) she might secretly blackmail you if you're harassing her or her friends too much.

Vivi's also not just a pretty face either, she'll defend her friends and loved ones whenever it gets feisty and is not afraid to lose some feathers from it. She's also the mediator of the Addisons' friend group whenever they get into a heated argument. It's rare to see her genuinely furious. But it gets scary when she does.

Vivi gained her "Mama" nickname because she has a similar mom-like demeanor and discipline towards the Addisons at times, and how maternal she can be with younger people.

Vivi sells soaps, lotions, fragrances, and candles. There's another section of her store that's slightly hidden that sells more intimate products such as adult toys and apparels.

Relationships

Orlando S. Addison (Orange): A therapist friend and voice of reason when Vivi is under the weather. Super helpful buddy for his info-gathering and feedback. Asks Vivi to make her his muse for his seamstress projects from time to time. Nickname: Orly.

Sunny V. Addison (Yellow): HUGE prankster and energetic with no filter. A ball of sunshine that pulls the heartiest of laugh out of her. Makes impressive graphic animations and voices one of Vivi's advertisements. Nickname: Sunshine.

Jaylene B. Addison (Blue): Closest friends with Vivi (besties). Very flamboyant and admires Vivi's femininity and strength. Takes her for photoshoots for both of their banner advertisements. Nickname: Bluey.

Pierre C. Addison (Pink): Cocky and a (friendly) bully for healthy competitiveness. Develops feelings for Vivi over time. Helps each other out with how to gain more traction on their websites (sometimes, clickbait is involved). Does tea and culinary sweets and Vivi is the first test subject. Nickname: Pinky.

Samson E. Addison (White. Now known as Spamton G. Spamton): first close friend and first relationship partner with Vivi. Fairly shy but enthusiastic and passionate about his interest and his future potential. Not so lucky with his advertising job, but Vivi helped him from time to time and give him financial aid when it's dire. Nickname: Sammy, Spammy.

Swatch: pleasant butler administrator who understands the value of customer satisfaction. Vivi became his current valued customer after Spamton ran away from being evicted, disappeared from the Mansion, and knew how Spam treated her. Enjoys having a chat with her and gives work, general, and personal advice. Vivi promotes his Color Café on social media. Nickname: Swatchy ( when he's off work).

"Divorce" Ark and Current Year

When Spamton became a Big Shot, it was perfect through the year 1997. But then he started to neglect his relationship with Vivi, alongside with the other Addisons for the sake of pursuing more on his new advertisement carrier. Spam became more blunt towards the Addisons on competitiveness. But with Vivi, he was more avoidant about his antics and making up excuses in fear of hurting her.

But the more he became busy, the more neglectful he became with the relationship. It came to a point that she had enough and separated. From there, they've never seen each other again. Since Spamton escaped from being evicted and disappeared.

That's not to say she didn't suffer emotionally and didn't miss him. It took years for her to open up and heal. she's still willing to give second chances but this time it's platonic. She'll be more enforced and vigilant of Spamton's antics.

She's currently starting a relationship with Pierre (Pink).

Species-Neutral, Sex-Positive Franchise Opens Stores on Vulcan

"Barely Risa"

Intimate apparel and other gifts direct from the renowned pleasure planet await you hear. The popular chain has been expanding its footprint beyond Risa in recent years, establishing locations on many tourism-heavy worlds and increasing its inventory to serve a host of different species. It's definitely one of the few places on Vulcan where you're liable to find a horga'hn, and seldom will you find Andoridan aphrodisiacs and Orion lingerie in the same store as you can here.

"Some enchanted evening, you will see a stranger. . . ." The music came up at the MK Club in New York, and the buyers and fashion writers, who had been downing drinks from the open bar for more than an hour, quieted as rose-colored lights drenched the stage. Six models in satin panties and lace teddies drifted dreamily into view and took turns swooning on the main stage prop—a Victorian couch. The enervated ladies—"Sophia," "Desiree," "Amapola"—languorously stroked their tresses with antique silver hairbrushes, stopping occasionally to lift limp hands to their brows, as if even this bit of grooming overtaxed their delicate constitutions.

The press release described the event as Bob Mackie's "Premiere collection" of fantasy lingerie. In fact, the Hollywood costume designer (author of Dressing for Glamour) had introduced a nearly identical line ten years before. It failed then in a matter of weeks but the women of the late '80s, Mackie believed, were different. “I see it changing,”Mackie asserts. "Women want to wear very feminine lingerie now."

Mackie got this impression not from women but from the late-80s lingerie industry, which claimed to be in the midst of an "Intimate Apparel Explosion." As usual, this was a marketing slogan, not a social trend. Frustrated by slackening sales, the Intimate Apparel Council—an all-male board of lingerie makers—established a special public relations committee in 1987. Its mission: Stir up "excitement."

The committee immediately issued a press release proclaiming that "cleavage is back" and that the average woman's bust had suddenly swelled from 34B to 36C. "Bustiers, corsets, camisoles, knickers, and petticoats," the press kits declared, are now not only "accepted" by women but actually represent "a fashion statement." A $10,000 focus-group study gathered information for the committee about the preferences of manufacturers and retail buyers. No female consumers were surveyed. "It's not that we aren't interested in them," Karen Bromley, the committee's spokesperson, explains. "There's just limited dollars."

In anticipation of the Intimate Apparel Explosion, manufacturers boosted the production of undergarments to its highest level in a dozen years. In 1987, the same year the fashion industry slashed its output of women's suits, it doubled production of garter belts. Again, it was the "better-business" shopper that the fashion marketers were after; in one year, the industry nearly tripled its shipments of luxury lingerie. Du Pont, the largest maker of foundation fabrics, simultaneously began a nationwide "education program," which included "training videos" in stores, fitting room posters and special "training" tags on the clothes to teach women the virtues of underwire bras and girdles (or "body shapers," as they now called them—garments that allow women "a sense of control"). Once again, a fashion regression was billed as a feminist breakthrough. "Women have come a long way since the 1960s," Du Pont's sales literature exulted. "They now care about what they wear under clothes.

The fashion press, as usual, was accommodating. "Bra sales are booming" the New York Daily News claimed. Its evidence: the Intimate Apparel Council's press release. Enlisting one fake backlash trend to promote another, the New York Times claimed that women were rushing out to buy $375 bustiers to use "for cocooning." Life dedicated its June 1989 cover to a hundredth-anniversary salute, "Hurrah for the Bra," and insisted, likewise without data, that women were eagerly investing in designer brassieres and corsets. In an interview later, the article's author, Claudia Dowling, admits that she herself doesn't fit the trend; when asked, she can't even recall what brand bra she wears: "Your basic Warner whatever, I guess," she says.

Hollywood also hastened to the aid of the intimate-apparel industry, with garter belts in Bull Durham, push-up bras in Dangerous Liaisons, and merry-widow regalia galore in Working Girl. TV did its bit, too, as characters from "The Young and the Restless" to "Dynasty" jumped into bustiers, and even the women of "thirtysomething" inspected teddies in one shopping episode.

The fashion press marketed the Intimate Apparel Explosion as a symbol of modern women's new sexual freedom. "The 'Sexy' Revolution Ignites Intimate Apparel," Body Fashions announced in its October 1987 cover story. But the magazine was right to put quotes around "sexy." The cover model was encased in a full-body girdle, and the lingerie inside was mostly of Victorian vintage. Late-'80s lingerie celebrated the repression, not the flowering, of female sexuality. The ideal Victorian lady it had originally been designed for, after all, wasn't supposed to have any libido.

A few years before the Intimate Apparel Explosion, the pop singer Madonna gained notoriety by wearing a black bustier as a shirt. In her rebellious send-up of prim notions of feminine propriety, she paraded her sexuality and transformed "intimate apparel" into an explicit ironic statement. This was not, however, the sort of "sexy revolution" that the fashion designers had in mind. "That Madonna look was vulgar," Bob Mackie sniffs. "It was overly sexually expressive. The slits and the clothes cut up and pulled all around; you couldn't tell the sluts from the schoolgirls." The lingerie that he advocated had "a more ladylike feminine attitude."

Late Victorian apparel merchants were the first to mass-market "feminine" lingerie, turning corsets into a "tight-lacing" fetish and weighing women down in thirty pounds of bustles and petticoats. It worked for them; by the turn of the century, they had ushered in "the great epoch of underwear." Lingerie publicists of the '80s offered various sociological reasons for the Victorian underwear revival, from "the return of marriage" to "fear of AIDS"—though they never did explain how garter belts ward of infection. But the real reason for the Victorian renaissance was strictly business. “Whenever the romantic Victorian mood is in, we are going to do better,” explains Peter Velardi, chairman of the lingerie giant Vanity Fair and a member of the Intimate Apparel Council's executive committee.

In this decade's underwear campaign, the intimate-apparel industry owed its heaviest promotional debt to the Limited, the fashion retailer that turned a California lingerie boutique named Victoria's Secret into a national chain with 346 shops in five years. "I don't want to sound arrogant," Howard Gross, president of Victoria's Secret, says, "but . . . we caused the Intimate Apparel Explosion. We started it and a lot of people wanted to copy it."

The designers of the Victoria's Secret shop, a Disneyland version of a 19th-century lady's dressing room, packed each outlet with "antique" armoires and sepia photos of brides and mothers. Their blueprint was quickly copied by other retailers: May's "Amanda's Closet," Marshall Field's "Amelia's Boutique," Belk's "Marianne's Boutique," and Bullock's "Le Boudoir." Even Frederick's of Hollywood reverted to Victoriana, replacing fright wigs with lace chemises, repainting its walls in ladylike pinks and mauves and banning frontal nudity from its catalogs. "You can put our catalog on your coffee table now," George Townson, president of Frederick's, says proudly.

The Limited bought Victoria's Secret in 1982 from its originator, Roy Raymond, who opened the first shop in a suburban mall in Palo Alto, California. A Stanford MBA and former marketing man for the Vicks company—where he developed such unsuccessful hygiene products as a post-defecation foam to dab on toilet paper—Raymond wanted to create a store that would cater to his gender. "Part of the game was to make it more comfortable to men," he says. "I aimed it, I guess, at myself." But Raymond didn't want his female customers to think a man was running the store; that might put them off. So he was careful to include in the store's catalogs a personal letter to subscribers from "Victoria," the store's putative owner, who revealed her personal preferences in lingerie and urged readers to visit "my boutique." If customers called to inquire after Ms. Victoria's whereabouts, the salesclerks were instructed to say she was "traveling in Europe." As for the media, Raymond's wife handled all TV appearances.

Raymond settled on a Victorian theme both because he rise renovating his own Victorian home in San Francisco at the time and because it seemed like "a romantic happy time." He explains: “It’s that Ralph Lauren image . . . that people were happier then. I don't know if that is really true. It's just the image in my mind, I guess created by all the media things I've seen. But it's real.”

Maybe the Victorian era wasn't the best of times for the female population, he acknowledges, but he came up with a marketing strategy to deal with that problem: women are now "liberated" enough to choose corsets to please themselves, not their men. "We had this whole pitch," he recalls, "that the woman bought this very romantic and sexy lingerie to feel good about herself, and the effect it had on a man was secondary. It allowed us to sell these garments without seeming sexist." But was it true? He shrugs. "It was just the philosophy we used. The media picked it up and called it a 'trend,' but I don't know. I've never seen any statistics."

When the Limited took over Victoria's Secret, the new chief continued the theme. Career women want to wear bustiers in the boardroom, Howard Gross says, so they can feel confident that, underneath it all, they are still anatomically correct. "Women get a little pip, a little perk out of it," he explains. “It's like, ‘Here I am at this very serious business meeting and they really don't know that I'm wearing a garter belt!’” Gross didn't have any statistics to support this theory, either: "The company does no consumer or market research, absolutely none! I just don't believe in it." Instead of asking everyday women what they wanted in underwear, Gross conducted in-house brainstorming sessions where top company managers sat around a table and revealed their "romantic fantasies." Some of them, Gross admits, were actually "not so romantic" like the male executive who imagined, "I'm in bed with eighteen women."

Here’s the text part of BOF article (it loses a bit without the pics - especially the ceramic duck!):

Why Harry Styles Fans Can’t Get Enough of Pleasing

The singer’s nail polish brand isn’t following the usual celebrity beauty brand playbook, where “authenticity” and newness are key. When your fans are this rabid, it turns out none of the usual rules apply.

NEW YORK – Grace Daniels, 19, owns 17 bottles of nail polish from Pleasing, Harry Styles’ beauty and lifestyle brand that launched one year ago, as well as at least one crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie from each of the line’s five drops. They were back for more at the Pleasing pop-up shop that opened in SoHo last weekend.

It’s the first of several planned visits to the flora-and-fauna themed space, where purple fawns and pastel pink birds line the walls and are printed on fabric lamp shades. There is greenery, colourful checkered carpets and whimsical ceramic animals. The nail polish is displayed on dressers, shelves and counters – both as single bottles and boxed sets with cute names like “Shroom Boom” and “Super Magic Family Time” – alongside makeup, apparel, socks, journals, blankets and Christmas ornaments.

“I’m trying to space out what I buy,” Daniels said. On Sunday, they added a red hoodie, a journal and a pair of socks to their collection of polishes. They plan to return to the popup several times before it closes to buy more.

Alyssa Coy, 20, who attends New York University’s The Gallatin School of Individualized Study with Daniels, is pacing herself, too.

“I will be back here and in LA multiple times and purchasing multiple different things,” said Coy, clutching multiple Pleasing sweatshirts (a popup is open there through Dec. 23, along with a third location in London). In New York, she bought apparel, journals, socks and ornaments and is thinking of getting the blanket and towels in the future.

Pleasing debuted last year with four nail polishes and a few skin care items, one among dozens of celebrity-fronted beauty brands that hit the market around the same time. As a category, nail polish isn’t particularly innovative, but the packaging – bottles have globe-shaped tops in metallic or marbled pastels – is made for display. Still, there have been only a handful of product launches since that initial release (though there has been plenty of tie-in merch, including the much in-demand “Pleasing” sweatshirts). As launching beauty brands became the de facto side hustle for actors, musicians and influencers, Styles himself only intermittently promoted Pleasing. He doesn’t claim to be overseeing every step of his brand’s development, as other celebrities do

But Styles’ fans don’t seem to care.

A sales associate at the New York popup said customers started to line up at 6 am on Saturday, five hours before the store was scheduled to open. About 100 people entered the store per hour until it closed at 7 pm.

Even on a rainy Sunday afternoon there were 15 people waiting to get in, including Jeneva Silverman, 36, who is nine months pregnant.

“They were sold out of a lot of apparel by the time we got in,” Silverman said via email Monday. She wound up ordering a sweatshirt for her husband online.

“I like the minimalist branding and the colours are really good for the nail polish,” said New York City-based Hilary Scherer, 32, who also braved the rain to get a Pleasing sweatshirt and potentially, nail colour.

Pleasing’s hero beauty product is nail polish, a category that’s seen action from male celebrity founders and “genderless” lines over the past year, including one from Colson Baker, better known as Machine Gun Kelly. Last December, a month after Styles launched Pleasing, Baker introduced UN/DN LAQR.

Where celebrities typically make the case that they’ve been intimately involved in the creation and branding of their beauty products – think Lady Gaga or Kim Kardashian talking about the years of development that went into their lines – Styles hasn’t been making the rounds. Ahead of the popups, Pleasing’s biggest offline venture to date, his team declined to make him available for interviews.

Other stars have been punished for failing to adequately champion their lines, which can lead to accusations, true or not, that they’re slapping their name on a product as a cash grab.

In a sense then, Styles’ approach to Pleasing is a test of his fan base’s devotion.

Coy and Daniels, the NYU students, said they find Pleasing more authentic than most celebrity brands.

“Harry’s been trying to separate himself from Pleasing,” Daniels pointed out, noting that the company is a collaborative effort with Styles’ stylist, Harry Lambert (Lambert and Molly Hawkins are co-creative directors of Pleasing). “He [Styles] wants this to be his own separate entity rather than something that’s solely related to him. At the same time, it is very Harry – it’s very eccentric.”

Pleasing works because it’s an embodiment of Styles; beauty, and especially nail polish, is ingrained in his personal brand, something he’s been known for almost as long as he’s been famous. It’s a safe bet that few of the customers lining up in the rain in Soho think he’s poring over financial models or logging time in the lab. It simply doesn’t matter.

“He’s so embedded in everything that Pleasing is and you can feel connected to him in that way, but it’s also still an expression of self as well,” Coy said. “You like him for a reason … and that’s really valuable to me so I’m able to represent that and author that and almost co-author it with him.”

The same goes for the rest of Pleasing’s merchandise – and the pop-ups themselves. The brand’s spaces are busy and immersive, the opposite of many digital-first brands’ attempts at going offline, which often involve neatly arranged products thrown into a minimalist white space.

“If you look around here, everything is very reminiscent of him,” Coy said. “We were walking around pointing at things saying, ‘That’s Harry’ or ‘That’s literally Harry.”

Coy and Daniels are referring to a life size teal poodle, wearing a metallic magenta string of pearls with a crystal and pearl brooch affixed to its right ear.

“How is that Harry?” I press them.

“Just because it is. That looks like him,” Coy replied. “It’s a feeling. He’s also this little duck over there, he’s extremely that duck – that’s so him. He’s so precious. He’s like a little duck on the counter.”

Daniels pulls up a photo on their iPhone of the pastel yellow ceramic duck displayed near the front of the store and then scrolls to a photo of Styles in a yellow stripe with a string of pearls.

When you look at them side by side, it’s hard not to see the resemblance.

Thanks so much anon - I really appreciate it. It's really interesting to see how Pleasing is discussed in the press.

I think the fans thinking that the duck and the poodle are Harry are excellent examples of the idea that Harry speaks in image rather than narrative and the blank space that leaves.

Bella Brand: Body By Bella 001

Published: 11-7-2023 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “Inspired by the wealth of Bella Goth lore from the Sims/SimCity franchises (aka the “simsverse”), the Bella Brand Series includes more than a dozen sets and 230+ new business-themed items. Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter. So, this series imagines what a prestigious Bella-based brand might look like…” Masterfully crafted to complement a diversity of body types, Body by Bella includes fashionable shapewear and intimate wear for all ages. This set includes decorative clothing mannequins and functional clothing items (packages and hanging clothing) which can be exchanged for simoleons or up to §100 towards a new outfit.

DETAILS Requires ALL EPs/SPs. You need Mesh Set 001 (Simmons, 2023) and the Display Counter (BellasSecret_Counter_Somedaythesun)from the TS2 Maxis Match Lingerie Store Set (SomedayTheSun, 2023) – these items are required for all textures to display in-game. The counter uses recolors from the Bosenklavier Model B grand piano (Bon Voyage EP). Find recolors for the counter interior in the Bella Brand: Retail Floor Set (Simmons, 2023). Recolors may include swatches for items in other Bella Brand sets such as signs, packages, cosmetics, etc. Objects in Sims 2 are limited to two recolorable parts, so not all items are recolorable in the same way. Find additional recolors for Bella Brand sets on this site under #ts2recolors, #co2recolors, and #co2bellabrand.

ITEMS Body By Bella Multipacks 001-002 (173 poly) Body By Bella: The AJ (620 poly) Hanging AJ Bottom (446 poly) Hanging AJ Top (469 poly) Body By Bella: The Deborah (478 poly) Hanging Deborah (526 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA

Functional Apparel Objects Apparel objects are debug items and show up as “clothing pile” in the catalog (Misc > Dressers). They must be placed on one of the DEBUG displays/shelves or they’ll float. Once purchased, take them out of the sim’s inventory and choose from one of the following: Purchase Clothing. Select an outfit (or several) of any type. Each apparel object is worth §100 towards the TOTAL cost. Sims save more money (and your businesses make more money) if they use one apparel object per new outfit. Sell. Recycle the object for §100 simoleons.  If you exit the Buy Clothing window without adding anything to your shopping cart, §100 will be added to the sim’s household funds instead. Apparel objects are worth §100 regardless of how much sims pay for them on OFB/community lots. Pricing an item below this amount can function like a discount sale (i.e., pay $75 in-store and §100 towards the purchase or a 25% “discount/rebate.” You can decide whether this counts as cheating). Pricing it above this amount is not recommended since sims will end up losing extra money. Debug objects have slots which “catch” fellow clones if you place them too close. To prevent this when trying to clutter them close together, turn “snap objects to grid” OFF and “move objects” OFF.

Taylor Swift Merch: A Fan’s Fashion Statement

It is not simply Taylor Swift is a singer; she is an international icon. In addition to using music to reach her fans, she has also successfully applied it to her merchandise label Taylor Swift merch has become part of the routine access for her fans all over the world. It ranges from clothes to accessories, hygiene products, and headphones amongst others, which is more than just a fan product; but products that exhibit appreciation of her artwork.

The Concept of Taylor Swift Merch

Taylor Swift Merchandise is different from some ordinary designs. Every collection is based on the concept of her albums and the periods in her life. For instance, the romantic and soft-toned Lover or the moody Reputation and the more organic Folklore prove that she can. Fans have the feeling of owning Taylor Swift by the merchandise so they can have her journey with them. 

Why Taylor Swift Merch Is Better?

A Personal Connection to Fans

Taylor Swift makes sure that each of her merch is a representation of emotions and stories in her albums. Whether it’s lyrics on the back of a hoodie or stylized aspects of an album, everything seems quite intimate. Fans wear these items not only as emblem of support but as a means to daily get a new feel of her music.

High-Quality and Stylish

Taylor Swift Merchandise is common and they noted that its quality is one of the best. Fabric materials used in clothing are more comfortable and long lasting and fashions reflected with clothes are wearable. Basically, many of them can just as well double as concert outfits or the next piece of fashion.

Exclusive and Limited Editions

However, perhaps the biggest appeal of Taylor Swift Merch is the fact that it recently became a store. These releases are typically given during album or tour promotions and makes people anticipate and become eager in buying the products. I love collecting special items; owning one from these collections is even more rewarding.

The Taylor Swift most purchased merch categories

1. Apparel

Taylor Swift’s clothes are the essence of Taylor merch. Concert tee shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and outerwear with pictures and graphics depicting album covers, song lyrics, or symbols are always big sellers. Every piece is perfectly comfortable, as well as chic, ideal for concerts or just strolling around town.

2. Accessories

Laundry Room has a large selection of product’s fans identify with, including tote bags, hats, and cases for phones. A number of these items includes concealed references to her albums, meaning that Taylor’s fans can take part of her with them all the time.

3. Music Collectibles

Taylor Swift has her albums for sale such as vinyl records, CD, and even cassettes. Such items can be accompanied by some inclusions such as handwritten texts on the posters and therefore rise to the most sought items by fans and collectors.

4. Home and Lifestyle Products

As one can see, Taylor Swift’s merchandise support to fans enable them to capture her artistic work and products, from using blankets and mugs with her words emblazoned on them as she had indicated, getting candles, notebooks, or any other product with Taylor Swift’s artistry on them brings her art work closer to fans. These things are intended to provide harmony and pleasure, same as her songs.

Official Website

The best and authentic source to find Taylor Swift’s merchandise are available at her official website. Including exclusive products and limited edition products and ‘drops’.

Concert Venues

Taylor Swift’s fans are able to buy merch of the concert tours through the concerts. Such items sometimes include tour specific designs hence are collector’s items.

Online Resale Platforms

In some circumstances, enthusiasts have to go to website stores and buy the products at second-hand platforms. But one should be very careful while purchasing from third parties so that one is not duped by fake products.

Why fans love Taylor Swift Merch

A Symbol of Community

It’s probably fair to say that I’ve worn Taylor Swift Merch not just to support this artist but also to feel a part of something. Fans are linked closely to one another and the products are a way to proclaim their loyalty.

A Celebration of Creativity

Many pieces of Taylor Swift’s clothing convey her imagination and narratives. Indeed, fans are happy with how the styles embody her outlook on life, so that the clothes and accessories are art-like.

A Timeless Keepsake

Items from Taylor Swift’s albums and tours transform into a souvenir. Every single adornment speaks about the cheerfulness and inspiration which her songs spread.

Cultural Advertisement: Taylor Swift Merch

Taylor Swift Merch has gone a long way in breaking the traditional relation of the artists and their fans. To many it will be seen as a business proposition but to many others it will go down as an extension of her business empire. Taylor has presented the artist merch at a high level as she synchronizes her clothes with her music and personality.

Final Thoughts

Taylor Swift Merch is not only clothes and accessories but ingestion, too. It is an embodiment of affection and adulation fans accord her and association of fans with the songs. Whether it’s a hoodie from the Eras Tour or an album record from the Red album, every single item is a representation of Taylor Swift’s journey.

Taylor Swift Merch to the fans is more than just clothing, accessories or other products — it is a part of a musician, part of a dream that can be worn as close to one’s heart every day.
