“When Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, ’tis like a morn’ in Spring, In the lilt of Irish laughter, You can hear the angels sing, When Irish hearts are happy, All the world seems bright and gay, And when Irish eyes are smiling, Sure, they steal your heart away.”
Yep, those Irish eyes were smiling last weekend, especially as I did my whistle-stop tour of the Pornhub endorsed destinations of Donegal, Monaghan, Kerry, Waterford and Galway, although I have to admit that it was Sligo which really gave a new meaning to the Pogues’ classic of Dirty Old Town.
Still, there I was checking my emails on the post-coital long journey home when suddenly up popped a missive from Alex, the marketing director at Shenzhen Qian Shezhang Apparel Co Ltd, which put a smile on my face and will potentially create a big bulge in my back pocket as well.
And I quote: “I hope this message finds you in good spirits. We excel in crafting high-quality clothing that stands out in the market. Our products range from casual wear to formal attire, catering to various sectors. I’d love to discuss how we could support Decision Marketing‘s apparel needs.
“Why us? Because we focus on top-notch product quality; custom design capabilities; accessibility with low MOQs; and competitive pricing on bulk orders. Let’s enhance your product line together. Feel free to reach out or visit our site to see our offerings.”
Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up but move over Armani, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Paul Smith and Tommy Hilfiger – we’re going into the rag trade, er, I mean high end fashion business. After all, how hard can it be, when even Beckham’s missus has made a killing out of it?
In fact, at this very moment Roxy and Meggy and Peggy from Skeggy are poring over their “technical flats” for the first ever “Idol Gossip Collection”.
Meanwhile, we have already got AI started on the flouncy copy, which goes something like this: “The Treasury of Idols unveils exquisite creations, adorned with patterns and hues that promise everlasting allure. Be it a casual rendezvous, a luncheon with companions, or a grand affair, our collection ensures you radiate elegance on every occasion.” Not bad for a couple of T-shirts and a hoodie.
And, with the first batch due to be delivered quicker than you can say “the Decision Marketing Idol Gossip Designer Collection in association with Shenzhen Qian Shezhang Apparel Co Ltd, offering top-notch product quality; custom design capabilities; accessibility with low MOQs; and competitive pricing”, what could possibly go wrong?
