MAGIC Trade Show.

Last week I was at the MAGIC Kids Trade Show in Las Vegas, NV for our Bumble Bells. Learned 1.2 billion things. There were over 70 countries in attendance. Thousands of exhibitors. A bit overwhelming for a first-timer, but much fun if you’re the least bit social.

Apparently they expect 140,000 attendees to show to the Convention Center every year. Rumor has it they had 2/3rds drop off and only 40,000 or so showed up. From what I witnessed, booths for brands like Robeez, Chinese Laundry and Ed Hardy were all alive and kicking. Favorite new clothing line for children? Kicky Pants.

We did not videotape the show but last year, Mercedes Gonzales of Global Purchasing Group, did. She brings us through an entire week of her 30th year in a row at several of MAGIC’s fashion shows.

If you’ve been reading my Twitters all week last week: yes, my feet still hurt.
