Y.A.S.N.Y.

The first job I had when I landed in New York, was working for a boutique named YASNY
( You Aint Seen Nothing Yet ) , located on Broadway and close to Lincoln Center.
The people in charge were all dancers from NYCB, and there was an eclectic selection of merchandise spanning from Mexican pottery to simple, reasonably priced dresses, produced by me in the basement.
I was still close enough to my years of schooling to still doing things the old way, which was not always appreciated.
One day a lady was checking out one of my dresses and turned to the sales person and said
But the hem
and pulled nervously at the dress
the hem is done by hand
and put the dress back on the rack.
This was more than she could cope with.
