We forget that blind people like to have pretty things to wear and to decorate their homes. In my single days I had a part time job as a representative for Beeline Clothing. It was one of those party plan sales things. I also worked fulltime and had two ladies that rode to work with me. One of them was a young divorced woman with a small child who was blind. She had me do a show for her and her friends who included both blind and deaf people. It was amazing. We dressed some of the guests up in the clothes and we passed them around so the blind people could feel the clothing and another person signed my sales talk and descriptions of the clothes for the deaf people.
I was amazed how much they cared about their appearances and the appearances of their homes. They were excellant customers as retail stores didn't seem to be interested in dealing with them.
