Contestant's Case to Win
This is based on the number of votes received.Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie is a premier retailer of distinctive lingerie and intimate apparel. As the country’s number one ranked lingerie website, we provide our clientele with an exquisite and expansive selection. With an eye for design and inside knowledge of the industry’s newest and most unique lines, our specialty is niche European brands that break away from the norm. We scour the world to bring you exclusives available only through Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie. Smaller, more intimate brands that use the finest lace, embroidery and hand stitching available. Our discerning clientele enjoy unique choices that create dramatic and distinctive looks, as well as a wide selection of old favorites with new twists.
Based primarily online, with a brick and mortar boutique location in our hometown of Denver, Colorado, Pampered Passions also boasts a post-mastectomy division where we employ full time certified post mastectomy fitter. Other services include bridal and gift registry, and our popular Lingerie of the Month Club.
Our site and our one-of-a-kind brands like Gracya, Axami, Sawren and Obsession are a growing trend among A-list celebrities. Stars like Julianne Hough, Shannon Elizabeth, Debra Messing, Nikki Blonsky, Christina Milian and Laura Prepon are all fans of Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie. Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie hosted the Sex and the Coty Premier in Denver this past year, and hosted the MTV Music Awards.
Really it's what Pampered Passions Fine Lingerie gives back to the community. We work very closely with the Women's Crisis Center, many Breast Cancer Charities, and Dress for Success. We also work very closely to meet the needs of every oncologist, hospital, and plastic surgeon on a National level to place their patients in the best quality garments possible based on their medical needs.
Lastly the way we treat our employees goes beyond boundaries:
We send each of our ladies to a Spa monthly for a complimentary massage or facial. Our employees "Nurture our customer's Female Spirits", so we do our best to nurture our employees spirits.
We empower the ladies that work with us to have a very "Safe sisterhood" environment. We do not allow the negativity associated with back biteing, gossip which only breeds bad feelings.
We also purchased a warehouse this year. Instead of purchasing a commercial warehouse, we purchased another home. We did this, as about 80% of the ladies that have come through our lives could have used a safe place to be rent free for even a few months to get themselves on their feet. Maybe they were going through a divorce, or they were going to school, or just plain financially bankrupt.
In June, we purchased this home to run our warehouse out of, and I found an ex employee, and she called it "Urban Camping" out of her car. You would never know she was homeless. Her kids are in college and she is paying for their schooling, she would sleep in her car, go the a local rec center, shower and go off to her job at Macy's. To further compound her issuee she is 62 years old with Thyroid Cancer and no medical insurance.
We convinced her the "Urban Camping" was not safe nor OK, she is currently living with us, learning life skills so this will not happen to her again.
When I work our Retail floor with our employees, I never tell a customer I am the owner unless they ask. Each and every person thats works with me is just as important as I am, just as valuable to our organization.
A dear friend in business has convinced me that it is time to promote our philosophies and share them with others. I have never been one to self-promote. But its truly time to get our message out to others, and share our experience.
Warmest Wishes,
