The tights isn't actually a new idea, and I've seen it done before. She must really have some sort of incredible USP. Whether it's combining it into shapewear or at a certain denier as well, I really don't know, but it's been done before. In fact I'm pretty sure Wolfords or Jonathon Aston have a done range before, although they're at the premium end of the market.
Mark's business plan has definitely been done before and can be easily accomplished if you know A) how search rankings are ordered and/or B) throw enough money at it. I heard an advert on and American radio station this afternoon offering exactly what Mark was offering and more (although they had some serious restrictions as they design, host and market your site all for one fee).
I'd like Bianca to win, even if it meant me eating humble pie about him not hiring a competitor from an ethnic (
not religious) minority.
