Mini Mini Market threw open its shiny, rock’n’roll doors in 1999 to a rather unsuspecting Bedford Avenue in the heart of Williamsburgh, Brooklyn. 8 years later and the whole area is now bustling with indie boutiques, cute cafes, ace record stores and oodles of hipster locals hanging out. When walking into Mini Mini for the first time I went into a kind of deranged frenzy - the last time I experienced this was as a fourteen year old girl arriving at the Clothes Show Live. My feet did a kind of river dance motion followed by high pitched squeals as I couldn’t decide what to look at first and within minutes my arms were piled high with cuteness.

I’ve been a fan of Mini Mini for years and it’s always been on my “hot list” of stores I hoped one day would carry Lady Luck Rules OK. Such is my dedication that when our plane landed at JFK at 12.30pm on Thursday by 2.30pm I was chatting to Dana, one of the owners. We were in town to sell our wares at the Renegade Craft fair and I invited her to check out our booth and so she did on the Sunday and she said our stuff was “hot!”...by Monday we were back in the store handing over Doceys, Bam Bams, Tiger Beats, Pony Clubs, Tropicanas, pretty much everything...job done!

Now don’t get my wrong I’m hardly some kind of ball breakin’ business woman, I think I probably spent as much in the store as I made from the sale. But hey, when you find jelly shoes, slip on wedges with heart shaped cut outs, Sound Girl dresses, Loyal Army tees, 31 Corn Lane shoppers, lipstick shaped umbrellas and eighties jewellery galore all under one roof - a girl's got no choice! Plus, you can now stock up on LLROK trinkets too...hurrah!
