GOODY ColourCollection

Elastic hairbands in 4 different colors (tan, reddish-brown, dark-brown, black) to supposedly match your own hair color.
The distribution girls were giving away at least 2 units per person, so I hit up 2 distributors. 2 days later I came across another distributor (seeing as I could always use - and lose - more hairbands) and accepted more.

There's a contest on Goody's website for more hair accessories and designer shoes. Apparently there was a ColourCollection kiosk with free coffee and help matching the right accessories to your hair color (perhaps if you are color blind?? this is not a hard process!) The kiosk is done in NYC, but hits Cincinnati and Denver in May.

Location: Times Square (42nd and Broadway)
Units obtained: 7 (2 distribution days)

Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Broadway Musical poster

I walked down West 46th from Broadway and noticed a lot of folks carrying rolled up posters. The Sunday matinee of Disney's long-running Broadway show Beauty and the Beast was just letting out. On the sidewalk near the doors, they had large tubs of these posters and were passing them out to anyone who wanted them.

It's a full color 2-sided poster with a picture of Belle and Beast embraced, with trivia on the reverse side. This show is closing in July after a 13 year run, and The Little Mermaid will open at that same theatre later this year.

Units acquired: 5
Location: Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, 205 West 46th Street
