OUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
"Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over & over and expecting different results."
Benjamin Franklin
Since the inception of gorgeous, our philosophy has very much
been along the lines of the two quotes shown above...
We endeavour to do this on our website, with our product range,
our marketing & with our whole approach to doing business...
our website:
We try to make our website a "bright & friendly" place to visit...
It's not just a place to "sell our stuff", it's also been set up to
be a resource that you can come back to - time & time again,
without you feeling any unwelcome "pressure to buy"...
our product range:
We try to be innovative with our shoes, clothes & other stuff...
Most of our shoes & clothes, etc., are based on vintage styles,
& that's in keeping with what our customers are looking for...
We're also not afraid to go "outside the square" with some of our
other products - eg: our unique "Rockabillity" shoes range...
We go out of our way to ensure our customers get top quality,
well-finished products at affordable & fair prices...
our marketing:
We actively market the gorgeous name locally, australia-wide,
internationally & through our growing network of distributors...
However, we do this honestly & ethically - not only because it's
the right thing to do, it's also the sensible thing to do - & this
is demonstrated by our very high repeat business rate...
our approach:
gorgeous is more than just a business for us - it's a "vocation"...
Our passion for dancing is ongoing, as we were dancers long before
we established gorgeous - & we like to think that it "shows"...
We become "friends" with many of our customers - & this is not only
with people who meet & see us on a regular basis in Melbourne,
but also with our customers across Australia & world-wide...
Many of them have "put pen to paper" or emailed us - & you can
read some of their comments in our "gorgeous customers" section:
(our thanks to Vida & Peter from " Got that Swing" for the Emerson quote)
|

navigating our site:
we've tried to make it as easy as possible for you to find your
way around the gorgeous site - we know how frustrating
it can be hitting your "back" button all the time...
the frame on the left side of all our pages contains links to
our various "site sections" - the frame at the top lets
you know the page you're currently viewing...
please note - the gorgeous site by its very nature has heaps
of graphics, so we hope that your patience in waiting for
our pages to load is "worth the wait"...
is our spelling different ???
some of our spelling may look a little different
to our north american visitors...
that's because aussie english is a lot closer to
united kingdom english - apart from our accents of course...
we hope your gorgeous visit is an enjoyable one - and
we'd be very pleased & grateful to receive your
suggestions / comments / whatever's...
the best way to view the gorgeous site is with a computer,
monitor & mouse, comfortably seated, facing your screen
with a cup of java - or whatever takes your fancy...
naturally of course, the entire gorgeous website
is guaranteed to be completely "Y3K" compliant...

Important Note When Emailing Credit Card Details
To ensure that "hackers" cannot access your card information,
we strongly recommend that you split your card details
into "segments", & send in three separate emails.
Eg: Assume your card number is 4516 0523 0497 9872 & expiry 09/06.
Send numbers 4516 0523 in your first email,
send numbers 0497 9872 in your second email,
and send expiry 09/06 in your third email.
This procedure helps to ensure that unauthorised people
do not gain access to your credit card details.

If you'd like to link to gorgeous, then here's a couple of banners
to choose from - just re-size to suit your circumstances...
gorgeous Gift Vouchers
Almost everbody has Gift Vouchers - but they can be so "boring"
Yes, the "thought" is there, & you'd like to give the receiver
some "choice" - however, they can often seem like:
" I couldn't think of anything else to give you, so this will do"
Which of course, defeats the whole purpose of your gift
Wouldn't it be great if you could still give someone "choice",
without losing that all important "personal touch"
Well - now you can
gorgeous offers Gift Vouchers which can be designed to your
requirements - & which can also be "personalized" with
photos of the recipient - & that's a worldwide first
Here's an example of what we mean:
gorgeous Gift Vouchers are a "gorgeous innovation", & they're
available in ANY currency & can be used from ANY Country
They can obviously be emailed to ANYWHERE in the world

Where to visit the gorgeous showroom
gorgeous are located just off Sydney Road in Craigieburn - which is Melbourne's northern-most suburb …
Depending on where you live or work, we can be a fair distance for you to come - but you'll very soon discover that we're well & truly “worth the trip”…
We have a "home-based" showroom, so we're very flexible with the times that you can call in to check out our very extensive range of shoes (over 120 styles) - plus clothes 'n' other goodies (over 350 lines)…
Working from a “home-based” showroom also helps us to keep our gorgeous prices extremely competitive - because we don't have to pass on the “crippling shop overheads” which are part & parcel of the additional rent, power, staffing, insurance costs, etc., that just can't be avoided with a traditional shop-front location…
And this same "rationale" applies just as equally to any of our other gorgeous customers - anywhere in the world...
But there's a lot more to our range than just our “competitive prices”...
And as our many gorgeous customers have already discovered - they not only receive superior quality shoes, clothes, memorabilia & other items at affordable prices - as discerning buyers, they're also very well aware that there's a distinct difference between “cost” & “value”...
Because if you provide a combination of excellent service & top quality, reasonably priced items, then "the word goes around quickly" - but if you don't provide this combination, then "the word goes around at lightning speed"...
It's certainly “not an accident” that our gorgeous customers continue to keep “coming back & coming back again”...
Many of our gorgeous customers visit our showroom during normal shop hours - but because of their work or business commitments, many also choose to see us during the evening - or on Sunday afternoons, etc…
The only time we usually can't make appointments, is from midday Friday to midday Sunday - because much of our stock is packed in our two vans - & as a result, your choice would be somewhat limited…
However, this is not always the case - it depends on our commitments at the time you'd like to come…
But it's very important that you do phone us first whatever time you're intending to call in - just to make absolutely sure that we're going to be here when you do want to come over - especially as we can sometimes be away at rock 'n' roll, swing, rockabilly, hotrod or other dances, festivals, events, etc…
The gorgeous Showroom address is:
21 Wattleglen Street (opposite Burn Court)
Craigieburn Vic 3064
Melway Ref: 387 A8
We're located right where the Red Star is shown below - just follow the dotted blue line on the maps…
With the new “Craigieburn By-Pass Freeway” - we're about 25 minutes drive from Melbourne central, during “off-peak” - if you're driving during the afternoon traffic peak, it's more like 35 to 40 minutes…
If you're flying here, Craigieburn is only 15 minutes from Melbourne Airport - or if you're driving down the Hume Highway from Sydney, then Craigieburn is the very first suburb you'll get to in Melbourne...
Alternatively, we display our complete range of gorgeous shoes, clothes & other stuff at many dances throughout Melbourne & Victoria - & occasionally at interstate dances, festivals & other events…
Contact us if you'd like to know where we'll be setting up our gorgeous displays in the near future…

New gorgeous Distributors
We're looking for more Distributors to represent the gorgeous
shoes ranges throughout Australia & New Zealand...
Australia: Melbourne's Northern Suburbs; Mornington Peninsula;
Country Victoria; Sydney's Northern, Southern & Western suburbs;
The Central Coast; The North Coast; Country & Regional NSW;
Brisbane's Northern, Southern & Western suburbs; Toowoomba;
The Gold Coast; The Sunshine Coast; North & Far North Queensland;
Hobart & Launcseton, Tasmania; The Northern Territory…
New Zealand: Christchurch; Hamilton; Regional New Zealand
(we're already represented in UpperHutt/Wellington, Rotorua/Auckland
& Wanganui/Mid-Central North Island)...
Most of them were originally gorgeous customers & then later became
gorgeous distributors - which is in itself an "indication" of the
gorgeous service levels & product quality...
You're most welcome to contact any of the gorgeous distributors
to find out what “Mary & Ray are like to deal with”...
So if you know anybody who'd like to combine their “dancing passion”
with a very enjoyable way to meet great people - & earn some
extra gorgeous “pocket money”- then please let us know ...
We can then send them appropriate info - including great affordable
“start-up options” - to help them “hit the ground running”...
Contact Ray on: 03 9305 6509 (+613 9305 6509)
or on: 0414 811 525 (+61 414 811 525)

If you live in Melbourne, Australia - or you're here for a visit, then
you're most welcome to make a time to call in to personally
check out our gorgeous range of shoes, clothes, etc
at our home-based showroom in Craigieburn…
We also display our range at rock `n' roll & swing dances, classes
& festivals in Melbourne, Victoria & occasionally Interstate…
You'll be most impressed with both the quality & range of items
that you certainly “won't find in your local shopping mall”…
Not to mention our friendly & personal, efficient Aussie service…

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
|
US 62 cents
|
 |
New Zealand:
|
NZ 98 cents
|
Canada:
|
CA 72 cents
|
 |
South Africa:
|
Rand 3.8
|
United Kingdom:
|
UK 35 pence
|
 |
Japan:
|
Yen 73
|
Europe:
|
Euro 51 cents
|
 |
Singapore:
|
SG 98 cents
|
Switzerland:
|
Franc 0.80
|

China:

Yuan 5

Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling - & this is also completely FREE
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"
“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over. The world will change now inevitably.”
