SPOTLIGHT: 80′S PURPLE
Posted by mink on April 28th, 2009

80’s Purple web site’s homepage is the ultimate fashion eye-candy. Designer bios, product descriptions, and fashion news are all written while still capturing the fun and folly of fashion. Plus with features such as Pictorial, a go-to editorial on the hottest looks today, makes this site a one-stop shop to learn and buy.
80’s has been serving up the latest and greatest in contemporary fashion while simultaneously showcasing their know-how, innovation, and stylishness. And they’re on the way of becoming one of today’s successful online fashion retailers. That is why we couldn’t refuse to have our SPOTLIGHT on them this week. Big ups to Belle for participating!
What is the song that is most frequently played in your store?
Lykke Li – Dance Dance Dance (following kiis fm’s motto – “play it out”)
Best/Craziest/funniest moment in the store?
How about top 2? I can’t pick.
1. One of the owners didn’t recognize one of our at least 6 month old employees. He walked up to him, extended his hand and said, “Hi, I’m Tuan, nice to meet you.” Everyone stopped in their tracks, looked over, mouths opened, eyes wide and said “Tuan, that’s Edgar.”
2. Our HR manager, Sean P, just went through a whole ordeal firing an employee for theft of a missing pair of jeans. We just happened to get a restock on that pair of jeans the next morning and our warehouse manager grabbed them and brought them to Sean and said, “Dude, I just found the 32’s buried upstairs!” Sean P’s face turn white as a ghost and his heart dropped… funniest thing ever.
Worst pet peeve (amongst shoppers)?
When we sell out of shit. (maybe you should learn not to sleep on the new hellz bellz then…)
Your ultimate favorite Hellz piece?
Not out yet but HELLZ BANSHEES JACKET. (Imma cop THREE. Just for me)
Which celebrity (dead or alive) do you want to grace the store?
Terry Crews
Who do you want to be in a boxing match with?
Will Arnett and the Olsen twins. (Look it up)
Where is your favorite spot (bar/park/museum/beach/street) in your location?
Hmmm… That’s a hard one…. Either MY BED… or… MY BED. But if I couldn’t be in my bed, THE CROSBY in downtown Santa Ana.
What quote best describes your store?
Be the first rate version of yourself, not the second rate version of someone else.
