Kathy's scoop on where Justin Bieber somehow managed to go window shopping without being noticed. The details of who he was with .. and the photo!

Two days before Justin Bieber’s launch of his  "Believe" tour in the Phoenix area - the  pop prince    went shopping and incredibly - was strolling around a vibrant outdoor mall - without being noticed. And he wasn’t even wearing a hat to hide his famous hair locks. Just sunglasses.

But one store owner at the Westgate City Center did recognize him and quietly asked if she could snap a picture of him with one of her employees.  The Bieb graciously posed and smiled and then continued window shopping at the mall - again unnoticed!

Yes -at about 5:30 p.m. two nights prior to the Bieb’s concert -  V Calvin, owner of C'Est Bien Skin Care recognized him and bravely asked for a photo. And then the wonderful world of social media took over. Vanessa emailed the photo to a few other tenants in the Westgate mall. The owner of la Lady Designs, Brittney Montgomery, then posted it on her Facebook. That’s when Bieber fans started to swoon - showing up outside her shop to see if they could catch a glimpse of the star.

Jumping for joy in the tutus by la Lady Designs

Groups of Bieber's teenybopper fans not only showed up on Thursday- but they hung out outside the shops on Friday and Saturday prior to concert- hoping the Bieb would return. Amidst all the excitement - la Lady Designs sold a record number of the custom designed tutus and other merchandise designed for young girls in honor of Justin Bieber’s concert. 

 By the way.. Justin wasn't with his girlfriend Selena Gomez- but was casually strolling around the mall with his driver and a guy friend.
