Damn, distracted again! Though focused on fixtures at the micro level, tricky visual merchandising always catches my eye and I can’t resist sharing. Particularly displays created from practically nothing. Here a shop caters to nerds, girls with glasses, and the just obviously brilliant among the fairer sex. In my younger days I would have loitered in a locale like this … had I known of one. But luckily I found a brilliant girl and wife regardless. Now we shop for lingerie and books together, though not necessarily simultaneously like this.
