Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) May 13, 2004 -? What do soccer moms, trendy teenagers and black-clad D-girls have in common? You can find them all in the virtual salesrooms of Planet LuLu stalking designer apparel like prowling lionesses stalking prey.
Planet Lulu hosts its summer sample sale on June 10-12th. Shoppers will delight in apparel and accessories from over 60 of LA's and New York's most exclusive designers packed in one place. Shoppers may choose from designer handbags, top denim and boutique designers such as Lily McNeal, Free People, Eva Fortune and Ella Moss. For five years now, Planet LuLu has been hosting monthly sales of some repute in California and New York.
New Yorkers have come to know Lulu as the best place to find designer apparel and accessories at bargain basement prices. From the monthly sample sales, Lulu developed the concept as invitation-only.
Planet Lulu opens its online store doors for two days each month so that fashion connoisseurs can take part in the web's best sales event. Unlike other sample sales, Lulu doesn't charge yearly membership or entrance fees to shop. So when a shopper logs on to a Lulu sale, she can get $3000 worth of merchandise having only spent $500 dollars.
"Finding amazing goods at nab-it-now prices is how LuLu has built its business," says owner Noah Soltes, "that and a fervent, near-cult devoted customer base that tells their friends". Planet LuLu is an invite-only, top-fashion women's clothing sample retail store. To attend, shoppers need to RSVP on the web at: www.planetlulu.com..
Handbags as a Symbol of Female Power
Have you ever thought of a handbag as a symbol of female power and authority? Of course everyone is different so a purse for one person may mean something totally different and unique for another but let's look at handbags from a different perspective.The press of England has spent time and effort speculating and commenting on ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's handbag. To quote "The Times" in June, 1982 written by Julian Critchley, "She...tends to believe the worst of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She cannot see an institution without hitting it with her handbag..."It's obvious that the press equates Margaret Thatcher's handbag with her assertion of power and the ability to impose her will. If you look closely, you will notice that her handbags closely resemble the Queen Mother's handbags. Is is because both of these powerful women choose the same type of bag or is Ex-Prime Minister Thatcher deliberately mimicking this female symbol of ultimate authority in her country? Negotiations...

BIBLE OF CROSS-BORDER SHOPPING IN CHINA A RUNAWAY SUCCESS!
In fact, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post called the first edition the ?bible of cross-border shopping'. The book sold out in just 10 months. In her current release, The "Updated Version", she mainly focuses on fashion but has also included a new section on buying original Chinese antiques.

"Tourists and local residents alike have so little time to shop that they want to make their experience efficient and get value for their money.
I want to make it easy for them and give them a comfort level even before they cross the border into China," McNally explains.The first edition was snapped up by English speaking Hong Kong shoppers eager to find bargains in the world's newest shopping Mecca.
Tourists to the area have endorsed the book as well.
