Neiman Marcus Stores to Accept Visa and MasterCard Nationwide

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and Macy*s is not the only place he wants to shop

What’s Hot for November:

British jewelry designer Stephen Webster shows his new Murder She Wrote collection Wednesday, November 2 from 11am-4pm in Chicago.  He’s a favorite designer of Madonna, Rihanna, Katy Perry and many more artists for his wicked interpretations of themes and liberal use of jewels.  Daisy Lowe is the current face for the campaign.

Impulse buying at Neiman Marcus will never be the same, and for good reason. After all, because NM has declined to accept Visa and Mastercard instore over the years, most shoppers had adjusted to the ATM Sprint. At least on North Michigan it went something like this:

  • Spot something own-worthy
  • Realize that cash or Amex, you’ve left home without it
  • Bust through the double doors and down the street to the ATM
  • Withdraw dangerous amounts of cash in very public places
  • Hand over stacks of bills to pay for items (the stories are legendary)

Or,  you know, just leave.

Leave no more, as Neiman Marcus begins accepting Visa/MC officially on November 1st.

Citing customer desires for “flexibility in their payment choices,” the in-store shopping experience is now catching up with online ease.  I had a chance to try this out a little earlier in the week while I was in Bellevue.  The customer service was wonderful as usual, and as I handed over my card there was only the slightest of hesitations.  “Yes, it’s Visa” I heard one say to another, and a quick, tentative swipe completed the transactions.  Holiday shopping kicks into gear this month, and Neiman Marcus makes it easier for all to spread a little more cheer by accepting charge cards.

RIP: Champion Nail Tech Competitor/Trainer Tom Holcomb Dead

If you’ve followed the nail competition circuit you’ll know that Tom Holcomb is considered one of the greats, the “Godfather” of nails.  He blazed through a trail of hundreds and hundreds of events with multiple impressive wins in his lifetime, and taught and inspired many to reach new levels of creativity in their work.

Just moments ago, Tom’s Facebook wall had a message from a relative:

We’re waiting word as no one seems to know exactly what has happened (it appears he died in his sleep, but the causes are unknown).  Holcomb was at the Nailympics this last weekend in Southern California.

Update from Jody:

On behave of Toms Mom and Dad, today is a very sad day for their family…Tom passed away today peacefully at home, as you all know, he was an Incrediable man…talents beyond words and a friend too so many..I know each and everyone of you have a story to tell of him touching your lives in many ways……Thank you all for your kind words…His family really appreciates all of them…
There will be a memorial for him, as soon as we know we will post all the information…Thanks again and God bless Tommy……………….

Tom Holcomb’s 26 year history brief:

  • World Champion 10x
  • World Cup 5x
  • More than 500 nail competitions
  • Founder and educator for many different products (EZ Flow, Entity) and innovations in the nail industry

Update:

The worldwide outpouring of shock, then respect and love, has been incredibly touching.  While the funeral will be private, the family is planning a public celebration to be held in Riverside, California on December12th.  This would have been Tom’s 45 birthday.  Please check back for more information on the event, donations/flowers, and a website that will be created.
