I got to introduce two friends who cosmically needed to meet each other:
elspethdemina and
gement.
elspethdemina is the sex toy maven extraordinaire with a pressing business need to make the porn section at her place d'emploi, Wild at Heart, easier to find things in.
gement has a degree in library science.
Even a relative innocent like me knows that porn comes in many, many flavors. (Ixnay on the oke-jays.) These flavors even come in many flavors, which
gement prefers to call facets: ethnicity, body type, gender, publisher, etc., etc. Porn customers are often interested in only a tiny subset of the flavors, so helping them find that subset is a real money spinner.
Said
gement, with that many facets, hardcopy catalogs as
elspethdemina originally envisioned aren't going to cut the mustard. You have lots of facets with porn, so you'd need many thick binders. Ergo, you'd end up with something we in the software industry call unmaintainable.
The solution is 'pooters, said our esteemed librarian. Old junk would suffice, but
elspethdemina says it would be difficult to prevent even the oldest and junkiest of junk from being stolen. I can't help but wonder if that would be a problem if her store were in a better location or her bosses weren't idjits who insist on making it easy to steal stuff. We didn't come up with a solution on the spot, but what they both said made sense.
( quote of the night )
gement and I agree that
elspethdemina is the awesomest of sauces.
Icing: I got to take
gement home and measure em for a costume afterward.
