My Shop
Have totally randomly decided that, if money was absolutely no object (as in I was a multi-millionaire) then I would like to have a shop - an AWESOME shop - in London that had all the truly sad things that I love to buy! And damn, because I drew it very quickly in paint but I can't get it in without putting it online... which I can't be bothere with. Stupid LJ =(
Ah well. There would be a circular reception in the middle (this shop is quite big, btw) with stairs/lifts at the back. On the lhs (as you enter) would be the LotR and HP sections. LotR would be most likely decorated like a forest or Rivendell or something - when i think about it I see lots of ivy in any case. And it would have all the films, books etc. as well as imitation props, costumes - and those nice jewelry things they do. A mix of expensive replicas and cheap generic stuff that could be used for parties.
HP section... you know, I'm not quite sure what style this should be in... I suppose Hogwarts is the ideal, really - lots of candle bulbs and stone work everywhere - maybe lots of stars on the ceiling for the Great Hall. This is sooo going to be the biggest part of my shop! Uniforms, wands, games, sweets etc. And I'd have this little computer machine that kids can use to make their own Chocolate Frog cards. Takes a photo of them - maybe dressed up in something from the shop if they want - puts it on the front of the card then they can fill in fun facts about themselves to go on the back! Probably need to have someone do this for them though...
Then on the rhs of the shop I'd have a sci-fi section. You know, Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Firefly, BSG etc... lots of DVDs, replica guns, hopefully build your own lightsaber! Although I think Disney might have an exc;usive on that. Darn.
And then, upstairs, would be more general fancy dress and assorted random collectibles. Maybe can do a hiring service on fancy dress costumes for added income. Also upstairs have a cafe, maybe, serving things like pumpkin juice, lembas bread, chocolate frogs etc... as well as normal food!
Love to call my shop Room of Requirement, but I don't think I'd be able to snag that due to copy right infringements. =( How sad.
I think this is the most untidy post I've ever made - it's all over the place! Ah well. Would have looked better with my pictures, sigh. Anyone else know what they'd sell if they had a shop? Or know someone with business sense and lots of money but doesn't have an idea for a shop that can come and invest in my shop with me? =P
