Royal Jelly Moves to Las Vegas

You've got to admire the guy who thought to combine burlesque with live rock and roll. You've also got to admire the guy who knows that Labor Day weekend is the time to haul it all to Vegas.

Your mission: to help the staff make room in the overstuffed boutique for new stock (fall theme: East Coast vs. West Coast designers). Do so by grabbing sale merch, which is an additional 25% off.
