^^Yea that would be perfect!!

I prefer female SAs b/c they can identify with me about actually carrying a bag...not just about what looks nice and they're a lot more enthusiastic. Plus, most of the male SAs I have dealt with are not nearly as knowledgeable or just downright snotty.
 
I prefer male SA's especially if they're gay. They are honest about what looks good on me without feeling/sounding catty. I have alot of gay friends and they are just so much more fun to be around!
 
at the LV boutiques near where i live (Fairfax Square and inside NM) i think there are more female SAs than males. Howver, i haven't been helped by male SAs, so i don't know. The female SAs: some are nice and helpful, some are not.
However, i prefer male SA when i buy shoes. They are much nicer than the female, especially at Saks.
 
I really don't have a preference regarding male versus female. I just appreciate having a knowledgeable SA. I really get POed when I know more than them about their line.
 
I am SA....and I am totally understand you all.
I don't like female SA much because they really snob and like to judge how
you dress, how you look, profile you when you walk in the door.

I like to shop with male but more of the time they not really know
what they doing and less knowledgeable.

As far as I am a SA....I pretty much shop online because I am picky
and from the sales floor everyday make me feel most of SA are pretty
fake.
 
I love gay SAs. For the most part they truly adore fashion and I can connect with them over our mutual love for clothing. It's like shopping with a super knowledgable, fun best friend.

I don't really prefer nongay male SAs over female SAs and v-v. I sometimes develop crushes on male SAs (especially the ones in Europe!) and shop more just to see them. :amuse: As long as the service is good, male or female it doesn't matter. In general I get treated well by both. I've found that if it looks like you love fashion -- which does not necessarily mean that you are dressed head-to-toe in designer -- you get treated well.
