I'm at the Green Market in Delray Beach, FL today and I'm missing Amy because her eight year old is puking and she can only stay for a few minutes. She brings Saylor, her OCD Bull mastiff, who commences to squat on every piece of available grass and although I had invited Saylor to stay with me, reneged quickly out of pure embarrassment. So I'm alone with Bertha.
As I sit people watching and hoping for some gullible consumer to part with their money, the head of the market comes over to say Hi! I ask her if she's read the blog and she says "Yes, and you two Mermaids are crazy! I can't believe Amy got arrested at Whole Foods!" Although I am truly a dynamic and fantastic writer of the banal, I had no idea that anyone would take me seriously (unless I ask them to). So here's a recant....Amy did not get arrested for placing Modern Mermaids on the shelf at Whole Foods. BUT...and this is true, we took our bottles of Sweet Tingly Mint Cleaners and placed them on the shelf, stood back and judged them on the colors of the labels. Of course we were keeping an eye out for a security camera but I always had the miniskirt thing to fall back on if need be. Anyway, based on that day we really did change the colors and are thrilled that we took the time to do hands on "will this product get attention if we walk by fast" and see! While we were there a young man who was stocking the shelves struck up a conversation with us and told us how much he liked Bertha (if anyone doesn't know, she's our mermaid) and also told us that Whole Foods likes local vendors. Great to know!
So the story is half true and although Amy has done many things to warrant an arrest, the story about WF is not one of them......and, oh am I going to be in a lot of trouble for that last comment so if there's no blog tomorrow....check the local papers for my demise.
