In our last post we told you we’d be participating as a vendor at Shecky’s Girls Night Out in NYC March 16th.. its actually a 5 day event but the exhibitor’s fee is pretty high, so we wanted to test it out for one day to make sure we weren’t going to LOSE money on the venture.

Unfortunately, the weather and other circumstances didn’t really cooperate. It had to had been the WORST weather NY has seen all year.. seriously, it was hailing (sideways!) and the streets in NYC were covered with solid ice. We were lucky anyone showed up at all! And it was definitely not fun loading and unloading our booth during that kind of weather.

To be honest, despite the weather we were a little surprised we didn’t do better. Perhaps it was the competition from the Sex Toys vendor situated to our left  - that’s some “stiff” competition. (sorry, couldn’t resist!).

I will say though that if you have to be a vendor at an event where you don’t do well, Shecky’s girls night out has to be the most fun events to fail at. With an open bar, an excellent DJ and really helpful staff, it was sometimes hard to remember we were there to sell and not to party!

In the springtime we might try the much less expensive Young Designer’s Market in SoHo.. if you have anywhere you think Charmed & Dangerous should set-up shop, leave a comment or email us and let us know..
