Ready for Black Friday?!?!?!
'What-black-day?' -for those who live across the pond or in a normal county, it's a day here that a majority of people go nuts and run amuck for their Christmas needs and hopefully find them on special price, or they show just plain greed by buying things they don't need. I myself never par take in the madness and often don't even work?!?!?! WHAT?!? Tis true. Even though our store doesn't get crazy, we can't get much done on the floor, so we just take a three day weekend. Besides that, I most times shop local small business when I can. Hope most of you had a lovely Thanksgiving feast?! My family had a good reunion no fighting, griping or not getting along . No... we all drink! I was going to post some Thanksgiving photos, but simply can't handle another "Turkey/Thanksgiving' post at the moment~ my waistline needs a break from the 'thirds I had!!! I told you my aunt was a good cook! No more turkey for now at least. Anywayyy...In honor of the Black Friday, here is one of my favorite women. Carmen Dell'Orefice...a stunning woman who still models and did I mention she is 88!!!! Carmen was a huge supermodel, before supermodel was coined. Just a beautiful woman..strong, vibrant and not afraid to have some fun.
Meanwhile, the Mistress will be off til Tuesday off visiting the ancestral home, and then some friends I haven't seen in an age. I'll return next week after a short break..so have a lovely weekend!!!
What will you be doing this Black Friday?
She is stunning alright and what gorgeous white hair! Enjoy your break, Mistress.
ReplyDeleteThere is beauty in age. Me, a visit to Mt Vernon and a haircut are on tap today, after a nice sleep in this morning.
ReplyDeleteTwas rather a good day to have a lie in wasn't it?
DeleteI will be in hiding. With the way the climate is today, Black Friday sounds like open season on my kind :) We will be getting rain for the next few days. YAY!
ReplyDeleteWith that name, I thought this was going to be another drag post. That woman looks better at 88 than I did at 28! Enjoy your time away, Maddie.
Enjoy your weekend tootes! I plan to relax and just hang with friends before returning home. No shopping for me. She is rather fierce like a drag queen , I agree. You'll always be my adorable Deedles!!!!!!
DeleteA fashion role model for me!!!! Carmen is a testament that senior years don't mean the en of fun....d and one can still be fashionable, sexy and a minx. You have excellent taste Mistress.
ReplyDeleteNo way she looks 88.
ReplyDeleteIm a huge fan of her. Absolutely stunning. Creative post for Friday mistress. And yes....i will be in the crazy....but working my high dollar doors for Chanel counter support.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!! Now that is how you do black friday!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteO have the feeling she would make an excellent Catwoman!!!!! She is gorgeous. Enjoy your weekend away. And enjoy the dodged bullet of the american crazies.
ReplyDeleteShe'd make an awesome Catwoman!!!!!!
Deleteshe looks damn good for 88! and I am participating in BUY NOTHING DAY today!
ReplyDeleteI drank all day.
DeleteShe is fabulous, and she knows it and rocks it.
ReplyDeleteOur Black Friday was spent taking out little black dog to the park. That's a good day.
State rivalry football game!
ReplyDeleteYou enjoy your 3 day weekend.
xoxoxox :-)
Good luck to ya's!
DeleteCarmen Dell'Orefice is fantabulosa! I have been a follower of the Advanced Style blog for many years, and it still astounds me how many glamorous older people there are out there. Jx
ReplyDeletePS as for bloody Black Friday, it's yet another American trend that has unfortunately crossed the pond. I ignore it, of course. Our own Consumer Association Which has done a survey, and found most of the "deals" on offer from numerous outlets are bogus.
Your right dear. Most retailers even mark the price up and then do a discount. They aren't losing money at all. Im sure our poor selling specialist will hear groaning all day since we had just out usual sale. Thank goodness for luxury. I also had the feeling you'd love Carmen. Imagine having a cock-a-tail with her and dear Iris Aprel!!!!!
DeleteWell since you asked so nicely, I and the boy are going to a black underwear party tonight.
ReplyDeleteCarmen is GORGEGOUS!
That woman is hot!!! She is incredible.
ReplyDeleteAnd you mister, work retail and have off?!?!??!?!?!?!
Who in hell are you blowing?
how long you have?
Deletewe went to a movie today at the mall; the place/parking lot was quite quiet. Perhaps people are staying home shopping on line these days.
ReplyDeleteAnd what good did you see tootes?
DeleteGod! She’s stunning!
ReplyDeleteWe took Metra into the city! We went to The AI to see an Andy Warhol exhibit and went to one of my fav restaurants. No shopping. I refuse to pay full price for anything. If I buy, I buy clearance! LoL
XoXo .
That's is a good way to spend Black Friday! Culture, not cash crazed madness.
DeleteMaddie, is this your mother?
ReplyDeleteOh, those cheekbones! Hope you're having a great long weekend. I always avoided shopping from Black Friday on. Shopping was best way to get OUT of the holiday spirit.
ReplyDeleteAs extroverted as I am, I can't take crowds or people most days. Especially greety ones.
DeleteWe hid out all day. Did not venture into a single store. Stayed safe from the madding crowd, as it were.
ReplyDeleteHope you're enjoying the weekend. What am I saying?!? Of course you are!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
DeleteI have seen her before. She is so beyond regal.
ReplyDeleteI did a few shopping items on my list, but I do all my shopping down here in the city, We have some interesting shops, and local owned.
I did nothing but creative stuff in video games. I did my shopping earlier in the week, which I'll blog about soon.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder if online will ever shit down stores all together. Bu god, what will people do if they have to shop home with ….yikes...family!!!!!!!
