This week I received my copy of Frame magazine and was completely taken with the article on page 241 ‘Plastic Dreams’ an exhibition in Shanghai Times Square: beautiful red plastic mannequin’s from La Rosa and a fantastic plastic walled structure with clear plastic blocks from Sturm und Plastic what an amazing sight.
What a fantastic opportunity to create a exhibition/moving retail environment.

Thanks to Brandflakes for Breakfast for this.
This post from Consumerist shows how to write a customer service letter and think of all the free advertising spreading round that family, (alright it cost him a handbag) not to mention online. If I was cynical I think he’d know this was going to end up online but it’s so nicely written I think that should be forgiven.
