The Shop Diva

"Make it work, designers! Make it work." "Gather 'round, designers!" No, it's not Tim Gunn you're hearing in the store. It's Margo, the shop's African Grey parrot, who lately has been channeling the Project Runway mentor. We have no idea why she latches onto certain phrases for months at a time. For one period her favorite line was, "I'd like a martini ... extra dry." Margo is definitely a diva who refuses to perform on command. Visitors to the shop try fruitlessly to coax her to talk. As soon as they leave, she'll chatter away. She commutes to and from work in a special bird backpack, complete with perch.

Love it! We've got a shop kitty-but unfortunately (or fortunately) he does not channel Tim Gunn.
