We get a quarterly thank you note about quality, blahblah from Dear Leader in our order boxes. Kind of a joke, although we will give him credit for responding personally or thru an assistant to emails. However, they are not upping the ante. i.e. improving card benefits. There's no transparency over there and pumping those card "benefits" feels like a lie. And now I shall stop. <br /><br />Funny comment on the FB fan page about Garance sitting on concrete in "that skirt!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-9421628031734261562012-08-07T21:06:29.410-04:002012-08-07T21:06:29.410-04:00The vids look good, but don't nesc have high p...The vids look good, but don't nesc have high production value. The Garance videos appear to be shot loose, no dollies. I recently saw a film camera lens for an iPhone. I think an entire movie was shot with a few lens options for the iPhone. *That* type of lens might cost good money, but there are still great choices at low price points.

Garance and Scott Schuman do their own videos regularly for Garance's web site. I'm not sure it involves more than the two of them, maybe one more . . .

This is one area where JC consistently and spectacularly falls down. For goodness' sake, Kohl's does a better job of it and I spend like 1/10 or 1/20 of what I spend at JC there.<br /><br />So, not what you asked, but those are the feelings this gives me.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193483506777142971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-72890812829503119472012-08-07T12:30:51.474-04:002012-08-07T12:30:51.474-04:00I definitely think that the more classic aspects o...I definitely think that the more classic aspects of the J Crew collection translate well internationally.
