As an author, there is nothing I value more highly than protecting my readers’ trust. Not even money, which authors don’t make a lot of, by the way. Therefore, when I endorse a product and/or business here on my blog, I only endorse products and/or businesses that I personally use, understand, and like very much. I wouldn’t spend my (and your) valuable time writing about something I didn’t use, knew nothing about, or didn’t like—and certainly not for $551.78 plus some lightly used shelving.
Anyway: Jennifer Convertibles!
Tell me if you’re with me on this one: I loooove convertibles. Right? What other thing is there that’s a car that can have a roof or NOT have a roof, depending on how you feel about having a roof right then? No thing. No other thing is that, which is why convertibles are so much fun to see driving down the street. Does it have a roof or NOT have a roof? It does today but it might not tomorrow! Imagine what it must be like to own one! Well, as a writer who can imagine things really good, I can tell you: it’s very much fun, even more fun than seeing one.
The thing about Jennifer Convertibles that throws a lot of people off, though, is that they don’t sell those kinds of convertibles. Weird, right? Look, don’t blame me, I didn’t name it—Jennifer did. And it’s her store so she can do what she wants with it.
And anyway, I’m not writing this to endorse the name of the store but what’s in it. And what’s in it? I’m pretty sure that it’s couches that convert into other things. Actually, I’m very sure about that because I use, understand, and like them very much all the time. In fact, I can describe them! They’re kind of like Transformers, except these Transformers change from really comfortable couches into really comfortable beds or maybe into a table or a footrest if that’s what you want but not into robots. I guarantee you: if you buy a convertible from Jennifer Convertibles, you will NEVER have to worry about it turning into a robot. Can’t say that about the other stores!
Now, look, some of you are saying, “So, hold up, do you or do you NOT own a convertible from Jennifer Convertibles, the kind that are couches not cars?” And, fine, that’s a reasonable question and my reasonable answer is, “For personal reasons, I haven’t technically gone into a Jennifer Convertibles store, but I’ve seen enough to know it’s good, plus I definitely use her convertibles anyway, plus I kind of know her.”
Hoo, boy. Now I’ve raised some hackles. Okay so, yes, I went to high school with Jennifer. And, yes, then we went to different colleges but kept in touch, except for a little while during junior year and I’m not going into that so don’t even ask. And, yes, then we moved to the same city (New York City) and met up and dated for a while until she said she wasn’t really looking for anything serious. Well, I was, okay? So that’s how I know her and why we ended it and why I haven’t gone into her stores. But we’ve remained pretty good friends anyway! My point is, Jennifer is a great businesswoman and would not sell you a poor quality or secretly robotic convertible and I know that because we’re old pals, not because she paid me to say it, unlike Jakob Dylan and his relationship with Fitzhenry’s Convertibles.
To sum up: convertibles are cars but they are also, in this specific case, couches that turn into beds and other non-bed surfaces. I use, understand, and like them very much and they’re great for writers for some reason I’ll add here later. And Jennifer is cool and will sell you a good convertible (couch version), just be aware that she is not really into the commitment thing, even if you’re a pretty nice guy.
Don’t go to Fitzhenry’s!
