In college, I worked in two high-end gift shops at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom (the kind they don't have any more. ) I was working in the Disneyana shop one day, and they closed it so that Michael Jackson (the Michael Jackson) could shop in privacy. Unfortunately, they kicked the two regularly-scheduled workers out and had managers staff the shop instead. When he left, he took about $20k of merchandise with him.
A few times I was asked to "walk" merchandise over to a Disney resort. I sat in a suite at the Contemporary Hotel once for almost an hour, never finding out who was looking at the stuff I had brought over. But if the suite was any indication (or the fact that they bought several thousand dollars' worth of lacquer boxes imported from Russia and charged to the room) there was serious money involved. I felt like a total goof sitting there in my little polyester faux-Alpine frock with my nametag on the front.

FamilyBiz ... sold to her a nothing-special medal/pin with the date 1934 on it, but i see she is bidding on many things that has that date on it [including "Pop Up Book [of] Puss in Boots"] LOL .... she also seems to be a big fan of WC Fields items ...
also is selling her book 'Pandering' and a DVD of hers, autographed ... ... but she does not purport who she actually IS in her Seller auctions ...

Maybe she is putting together something for he dad - isn't that about the right date for his birth? Kind of a neat idea if so - I may have to steal it.
