Circle, the merger is highly unlikly but if for some reason it could occur the larger company would compliment each other nicely and thus they'd generate huge wealth in cooperation with this growing poser community. Reba and Tori could have a team of minions underneath them to handle the influx once customer confidence grew stronger. Then they could focus on growing their target audience and creating spinoff markets. That's what would come out of a focused partnership. WIN/WIN for all! As far as competition. The 3rd party suppliers can help keep things in check!
