Goodbye Girls
We sat down with the three mannequins (a k a "The Girls") featured in Macy's continuing ad campaign in Vita.mn, which concludes this week. Actually, the Girls remained standing. Carmen (the blonde), Monique (the African-American), and Anja (the Slavic brunette) gave us their take on the end of an era -- and one last plug for the department store.
Q: So, you Girls are out of a job. How are you keeping yourselves busy?
Carmen: This is the first vacation time I've had in years, so I'm taking advantage of it. Standing and posing 24 hours a day really teaches you the value of a beachside margarita.
Q: You've made special appearances at various Twin Cities events. Do you plan on still being social fixtures?
Carmen: Oh, we'll always be social fixtures. We're mounted to discs of glass. We're not going anywhere.
Monique: What she means is we're looking for a new contract.
Q: What are your favorite places to shop?
Carmen: Macy's Southdale and Macy's Minneapolis.
