Visiting this boutique started out as a pleasant experience, but quickly turned into one of the very worst and most bizarre lunch breaks of my life.\r
\r
Walking into the store my first reaction was that the decor of the boutique has a striking resemblance to a popular local trendy boutique, Electric Couture.\r
\r
I asked the sales associate if they were somehow associated with Electric Couture as well. An innocent and appropriate question when entering a new a store that identically reflects what you are most familiar with. The employee very rudely assured me that they were not. Within 5 mins we left. When we were out side the little troll of a sales woman came lashing out of the store, waving her circa 1996 cordless phone in the air furiously, yelling at us to leave her property or she would call security. She said that my comment about Electric Couture was rude and intentional. She was so furious that she could barely get her words out, and when she was finally able to gather her thoughts, she spat out a ridiculous one liner, accusation about my question and comparison to the popular boutique, she then continued to rant about our ""jealousy"" of her store.\r
\r
This silly little elf went on ranting and raving for what felt like hours, and threatening to have us physically removed from ""Her Property"". -The Side Walk-. We gladly left, in fear that her head might burst, or she may pull out a club and start swinging. \r
\r
My advice to the Electric Ladyland Mini Me: If you are going to steal the entire decor of your competition, and claim it as your own, at least try to take their customers too! Don't drive them away!\r
\r
In conclusion.. Luxe Boutique had the potential to be a fun alternative to the Electric stores, but unless you want to get accosted by a wood nymph.. I'd just stick to the familiar, and buy your $250.00 wife beaters from the Electric Couture shops.\r
Pros: If you Like Electric Lady land, they are a mirrior image.
Cons: RUDE.. Scarey!!!!!
