window dressing

(n.) window dressing is the act of disguising a loan by taking money in exchange for the use of a business' asset(s). It shows on the financial statements that the company has both the money AND the asset, making the profits much larger when in reality it has restricted or no use of the asset. The extended definition of money laundering puts window dressing into a legal grey area, whereby it is not perfectly legal, but not illegal enough to build a real case against.

Everyone, from large companies trying to improve their profits, to hustlers on the street wanting extra cash in thier pockets is in to window dressing.

Thematic Dressing

Theme dressing for everyday! Think of it as Halloween 24/7. It’s a random Tuesday in March? Maybe you are a character from your fave 80’s sitcom. Or maybe you’re 90’s grunge. Or maybe you’re feeling witchy, piratey, or super 70’s disco groovy?! Make everyday fun with thematic dressing!

Oh, I really love your outfit!

Wow! Thank you. Totally thematic dressing.....Punky Brewster!
