Full bar and room service. But mea culpa, errata, this just in: The "no supervisory" line was a face-saver constructed for the press. The original Jack Tinkerers weren't creative hotshots, they were heavyweights who'd been passed over at McCann, who Marion Harper didn't have the heart to retire. He literally put them out to pasture. Dorset shop wasn't a boutique until after Mary Wells got there, luring a few young turks to come with her.

I don't think it's a horrible thing to bring back an icon that anyone under 40 would see as "kitsch", the creative is very uninspired though. Mr. Peanut is still out there and he works, so there's not rally a rason this can't.
