BF-Initiation and Phase 1
Dispatch Alfred in the Bentley as decoy to department store experiencing highest traffic volume.
While Alfred is so occupied, stop into Harriman's Gourmet Pantry and consult Harriman, Ernest B. about Alfred's personal preferences. Purchase locally if feasible, else telephone personal shopper in London.
Casually mention to Selina the lengthy Big Cat footage accidentally downloaded by auto-software while researching Cheetah. While Selina is thus occupied, go into her closet and ascertain the actual sizes on her garments.
Rendezvous with Alfred at crowded department store for the obligatory "Bruce Wayne goes shopping" appearance. Walk into store, perform evasive maneuvers (c.f. defeating DEMON surveillance based on ninja technique, defeating DEMON surveillance based on Sioux hunting technique, defeating JLA surveillance based on magic) sufficient to disappear into crowd and exit through staff or rear doors.
Travel on foot to nearest boutique of sufficient quality. Select a saleswoman that doesn't look too haughty. Play clueless male (variation on Fop idiot 4), plead desperation, flash black American Express card, turn over sizes, and throw self on her mercy. Examine the two dozen items she brings you and select the least silly looking.
Rendevous with Alfred again, create diversion as may be improvised on site given crowd, atmospheric conditions, and other variables which cannot be factored in advance, and store packages in car.
Show Alfred text message from Lois and send him to William Sonoma for whatever kitchen gizmo Clark wants.
Concludes Phase 1
