Bodyline Booth at Local Mall

[blackstoneblues.livejournal.com]

Hello all! I will be posting this in the EGL and la_loligoth communities.
Anyway, I have a question:

I really want to open up a booth selling lolita clothing and accessories at my local mall (I live in Torrance, the mall would be Del Amo). It looks like they let you rent a small space. I still have to talk to mall management about this. Unfortunately, all I can really afford to sell right now is Bodyline clothing and some handmade stuff. I know there are some lolitas who are against Bodyline and only prefer brand so I wanted to ask this community what you guys think about this. I'd probably be selling the clothes and accessories for twice as much or a little bit lower than the price they have on the Bodyline site (for instance if it says the dress is $33, I'd sell it for $60-66). From what I understand, it's still less than what you have to pay if you bought it yourself (because of shipping). What types of things would you like to see? More sweet? More gothic? More accessories? Etc.

I do have a friend who might have some AP stuff to sell but I don't think it's much. I have to ask her.

What do you guys think? Should I go for it? Other than making a little money, I'd like to spread the word about the lolita fashion. I'm hoping people will become more accepting once they see that people do actually buy and sell lolita. Do you think this might cause lolita "posers" to appear? And how do you feel about that?

Also, if you live in LA, would you come to Torrance to check it out?


Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and answer my questions!

PS. It will probably be cash only as I can't set up a credit card machine at the booth (nor do I have one). How will this affect you coming?


Thank you for answering all my questions! You guys were really helpful. I can see that the booth isn't going to work out (it was really just a whim anyway) but I know what I want to do now.

Thanks for all the help! ♥
