3. Overview
Mission Statement:
Sin is a celebration of the bad, the
taboo. It is a party for cupcakes,
homosexuals, liars, cheaters, and
sex. It is a desire to rock, to live,
and to get away with it. Sin basks
in the ability to feel no guilt. It is an
ode to our humainity, a study of
our nature. Hope you, who profit
from out sinful nature, will join us in
exploring it.

4. Target Audience
21 to 40 year old women and gay men
with an average income of $40,000 to
$100,000 / year.
These individuals enjoy shopping for hair
products, make-up, designer clothing,
alcoholic beverages, and accessories.
They are young modern individuals with
an independent personality.
