Here I am, standing in the middle of my closet for the 3,245,738th time wondering…WHAT am I going to wear?? Questions flash through my head.
“When did I wear that last?”
“Has so-and-so seen me in that outfit before?”
“Do I have pants to match this top?”
“What about shoes?”
I’m sure we’ve all been there before and in the grand scheme of things, these decisions don’t really matter to most of us. We’ll leave the house dressed and presentable, and no one will end up noticing what we’re wearing anyways.
By now I’m sure you’re wondering how a barcode scanner can possibly be the subject of this blog, but it is, I promise. Keep reading!
So there are us “regular people” and then there are celebrities, whose reputations and careers are made based on their appearance and photography opportunities. Celebrities do not want to be caught wearing the same outfit twice, especially on camera!
Jennifer Lopez is one such celebrity, and rumor has it, she relies on technology to help her get dressed every day!
J-Lo is reputed to use a barcode scanner and a wardrobe database to digitally track her clothing. Here’s how it works:
- Each item of Jennifer Lopez’s clothing has its own barcoded tag.
- When the clothing is scanned, the barcodes access a database full of photos and item descriptions.
- Each scan reveals style information, such as size and color, along with the date that she last wore the piece.
- An additional database contains paparazzi photos of her wearing said item of clothing.
Wondering how you can implement such a system?
- Buy thousands and thousands of dollars worth of apparel and shoes to stock your multiple homes across the globe.
- Hire a full-time staff member to take charge of your clothing. Nothing else. Just your clothing.
- Purchase a reliable barcode scanner and wardrobe software, along with some barcode tags so your staffer can get to work.
- Need an item from your home across the country? Tell your staff member to send for it immediately, for goodness sake!
- Step out on the red carpet – or at a highly anticipated party – in style and smile big for the cameras!
