Clay Mentions on the Internet 12/14

A really random mention about Clay sketches in shopping malls...

Mall walkways become money-making promenades

FRISCO, TEXAS | They are one of the most lucrative sectors in the retail industry, generating billions of dollars in sales, and arguably are the most underpublicized: the kiosks and carts that dot the aisles of big shopping malls, selling everything from candles to computers.

These freestanding merchants are tremendously popular -- Tillie Martinez said she sometimes has customers lining up 10 and 12 deep to buy her personalized Christmas ornaments at Stonebriar Centre mall north of Dallas.

At other kiosks lined up along the stretch between mall anchors Elder-Beerman, J.C. Penney, Sears and Macy's, shoppers can get a sketch made of a loved one (or buy pre-made sketches of Clay Aiken or Bob Marley), have their hair straightened or buy three types of calendars featuring Pugs.
