Snow season is indeed upon us as we ship out more orders of Thomas FX artificial snow & ice to US based retail chains. 

We are proud to announce that every one of the Ralph Lauren retail stores will be decorating their Christmas windows this year with realistic looking artificial snow and ice products from our company. 

The artificial snow and ice products that are manufactured by Thomas FX are of the highest quality and are among the most realistic fake snow and ice products in the world. 

For the past 44 years, Thomas FX has been widely acknowledged as a global leader in artificial snow and ice by film and television industry special effects professionals around the planet. 

It is gratifying to be acknowledged by film industry peers, and now by display designers and professionals in the retail display industry as well.

We enjoy working with display designers, helping them to develop unique presentations that will showcase their products and brands in an entertaining manner.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, involve us early and we will work with you to develop something special.

Just as our busy Halloween retail season was wrapping up, we completed the manufacture and shipping of a large order of Thomas FX artificial display snow to the Aritzia chain of stores in the United States and Canada.

Last year Aritzia turned to Thomas FX for help decorating Christmas window displays in the new flagship store in Soho, New York.

In 2011, we supplied Aritzia Designers with falling snow machines as well as a quantity of our eco-friendly biodegradable SNO-FX artificial snow flakes.

Working closely with the Aritzia design team this year, we came up with a custom mixed snow product that was manufactured specifically for their needs. This year, every store in the Aritzia chain, throughout North America, will dress their windows with our biodegradable display snow, including both the Soho store and the new Broadway & Fifth Avenue store.

Thomas FX is proud to be the supplier of choice for the prestigious Aritzia chain, and for many other high end retail stores in New York.

Thank you Aritzia for placing your trust in us once again this year. We enjoy collaborating with your design team and we truly appreciate having another opportunity to help present your products to Christmas shoppers in an entertaining manner.

Best wishes from all of us at Thomas FX for a successful and profitable Christmas retail season in 2012!

This certainly has been an interesting week so far, and the week is still young.

As I write, we have a shipment of Cataract Contact Lenses en route to a customer in Denmark, and a large shipment of artificial snow, fake icicles, snow fluid and several Thomas FX SN-600 Snow Machines en route to an advertising agency in New York.

We have a number of good customers in both locations, Denmark and New York, so I guess word is getting around that Thomas FX is the reliable Online "go to" resource for artificial snow and ice, and for professional quality makeup effects supplies.
Yesterday we had a surprise visit from two professional makeup effects artists from Korea. Betty and I had a wonderful time showing our visitors all of the unique professional makeup effects products that we stock in the Thomas FX store.

It turns out that they have already been using Thomas FX Breakaway Glass Shards and Non Staining Powdered Blood products. However, they have been purchasing them in Korea from the Graftobian Make-up Company based in Los Angeles . . . another regular Thomas FX Customer.

Some Thomas FX branded makeup effects supplies are also distributed in the United States by Hollywood's Cinema Secrets.

Curiously, also this week, a professional Makeup FX artist based in Ohio purchased 8 pairs of Cataract Contacts for a film shoot. Apparently, he will be working for a production company from India and filming on the Island of Madagascar very shortly.

These are the same type of contact lenses worn by Vin Diesel in The Chronicles of Riddick movie.

Imagine that . . . from the sci-fi blockbuster The Chronicles of Riddick to an Indian Zombie movie filmed in Madagascar.

Coincidentally, the Makeup Effects artist is one of our regular US customers and will also be taking our Non Staining Blood Powder with him to the shoot. He has been using proprietary Thomas FX blood for a while now and tells us he absolutely loves it.

When we add in the dozens of additional Internet customers whose orders we shipped out to various destinations throughout North America this week, and the many dozens of film industry customers that we serve across Canada as well as internationally every day, plus the tens of thousands of people around the world who read our Blog, download our YouTube videos, and Like us on Facebook, then consider how many billions of people are entertained every year watching films or television programs or attending special events or shopping in retail outlets who use our products, and you begin to get a sense of the Global reach of the Thomas FX brand.

Years ago we set out to become a true Global Resource for film industry and entertainment professionals working around the world. Based on results, I would have to say that we are definitely on target and have realized our Corporate Mission.

Thank you to all of our loyal customers around the planet for allowing us to make a difference in the world by supporting your many and diverse First Class entertainment projects!
