upon a time there was a valiant warrior who fought in the Great Corporate
Wars. She slew dragons and fought against the terrible trolls for
her Corporation.
Well, as we all know in this age of big business, companies merge,
buy each other out, and relocate entire operations. So when our heroine's
company moved, she decided it was time to lay down her sword.
ow,
normally when faced with enormous life changes some people withdraw
and become depressed. Some even hit the bottle and spend the next
year yammering griping about the evils of the world to anyone who
can stand listening anymore. Not our heroine, though! She assessed
her severance package and investment portfolio, deciding to boldly
and fearlessly enter the very scary and unknown world of retail.
Her only question now was what type of business to start. She waded
through a swamp of coffee beaneries, tiptoed over jewel-covered rocks
and even slew the dragon of fraudulent franchises. Her task had been
daunting and filled with infinite perils.

early one spring day, from the corner of her eye, our heroine glimpsed
a spot of morning dew. Upon closer inspection she realized that these
were not ordinary dewdrops at all but formed a trail of pixie dust.
Our heroine started on this path of flickering light and wonder, never
looking back. This was how Second Star to the Right was founded.
Today our heroine and her toy store can be found at the end of the
trail of pixie dust. She's created new life and business that brings
joy and fun to everyone who enters.

in this new age of technology, we are able to sprinkle a little pixie
dust into the Internet so those who don't live in New York can follow
the trail as well. So welcome to our world enchantment and magic,
where everyone who enters can live happily ever after. . .
