In the wholesale merchandise industry, the calendar year is demarcated by the Spring and Summer ASD/AMD Trade SHows in Las Vegas. The staff here works hard in preparation for the show, and the Top Ten Account Executives work even harder during those shows, walking miles and miles every day, starting conversations with wholesalers in attendance about their marketing needs.
The show is actually three separate shows; the Variety Merchandise Show, the Gift Show, and the Jewelry Show — so it’s a whole bunch of merchants for one of those three broad categories.

is that Mary Wilson from the Supremes? by jove, it is.

Our fabulous model, working hard.
Justin is trying to decide what fake ID to use. Casino bouncers are tough!
My sources indicate that the ASD show was “Awesome” and “fantastic” – i’m going to see if Justin will write up a scene report for the show and we’ll get it up here soon, but first we’d better let these fellas get some sleep.
