Hello,
When I first saw your store, I was intrigued. Changing Hands!
I’ve been shopping there for several years, fairly frequently. I keep waiting for it to happen, but so far—nothing.
My hands are still the same. When will they change, and in what way? I trust you that my hands will change for the better, but I’d still like to know (or is it a surprise?).
Thank you,
—Scott Lamber

STILL WAITING FOR A REPLY
Hi,
Thanks for the great email, and for such a great product. I’m wearing my Velvet Elvis black meggings right now as I type this. Kapow is the best!
I’m responding to your statement in your email, “For every order placed, we’re planting 1 tree in Madacasgar.” That sounds great, but if it keeps getting planted over and over every day, how will that 1 tree in Madagascar ever develop a root system and grow up to be big and strong? It seems like a lot of activity with no real benefit (except aerating the Madagascarian soils and providing a job for some hapless Madagascharacter). Also, since your product is “meggings” (leggings for men), perhaps the sapling being planted should be called a “mapling.”
Keep up the good work,
–Scott Lamber
P.S. – I had a shrimp taco today.

Hi Scott,
We were wondering when someone would ask us about the wording of our tree-planting mission. It may seem like re-planting the same tree over and over is an exercise in what Einstein would define as insanity, but there are some wonderful efficiencies involved, as well as benefits to the immediate ecosystem. For one thing, the talking crabs that live in the mangrove greatly enjoy the daily ritual of the re-planting. In fact, they now fashion their entire society around it. Early on we realised that we’d probably need to plant more than just the same tree ad infinitum, so we do that on a different part of Madagascar, but we didn’t have the heart to disappoint the talking crabs, so to this day the ritual continues.
And mapling! Great idea. We’re going to have to fire our marketing robot, it really should have thought of that. You just can’t find good help these days. Le sigh.
Best,
Chelsea
