If you’ve ever been to Store Cute, than you probably met Bilgin! She’s our AHMAZING store manager and she is probably the funniest person we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I’ve been waiting and waiting for this interview and it’s finally here! I really can’t wait for all you lucky BFF’s to meet her in blog and in real life. Oh and tonight is the PERFECT time to say howdyado! She, along with almost everyone else from FF, will be at Store Cute for the “Something’s Hiding in Here” event! DON’T MISS IT!

Hi Bilgin! Wow, what an interesting name, where did it come from?
Hiya! Yes, it’s Turkish. I’m Turkish & I brought you some Turkish Delight!

OH we love Turkish Delight! So how are you a part of the FF fam?
I work at the Fred Flare Store, a.k.a. Store Cute in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I am having an awesome time! So many great people come in. I love meeting people from all over. Yesterday we had people in from Germany and Italy, the Bronx!  They all make a special trip to see the store. Such dedication!

That’s amazing! And you’re right, the store is super cute!
Not only do I meet peeps, but I get to see all the fun merch up close. I am in LOVE with the carnival print strap dress. Makes me want to salsa!!! And the mini blue bird earrings are ADORABLE!!! AND this summer florette tunic is soooo comfy. Let’s just say, that I not only work here, I’m a HUGE customer.

Right on! What else do you like to do?
I love writing, filming, directing, performing and laughing.  I am also extremely infatuated with my niece Penny and nephew Justin.

That’s awesome Bilgin, thanks so much for taking time away from your store schedj!! Before you go party, any more Turkish Delight?
Nope we finished the whole box, but we can get more. Please don’t forget to come see me tonight! It’s gonna be FUN!
