Well the What Not to Wear show went great. You never know how it is going to turn out because it is all about the editing. They featured a lot of our private label from Olivia Harper and bought the green leaf dress and two tops. They also bought several pieces of jewelry and some handbags as well which is great because we think we have the best accessories on Court St. They also got some earnings and even Spanx.
There was a funny story about the Spanx. Spanx are a shaper (like a girdle for you old guys like Michael H) that is used as a smoother. Well they had her in the one that is so tight it looks like an ace bandage. It even has a pee hole because it is way too tight to keep rolling up and down every time you go to the bathroom. The saw how Teresa was grimacing through the whole shoot and when she had a chance she went into the dressing room with her to see if there was anything she needed or if we could help. She explained about how much she hated those Spanx. Well the wife told her she would never wear that particular model. Who would want to take a chance that the would be on themselves and smell like urine all night? She went out and brought back a pair of the micro fiber Spanx which smooth just as well but are a lot more comfortable. They are the ones we sell and are incredibly popular. Teresa put them on and went out and announced "I am wearing these from now on not the Ace Bandage."
The only fly in the ointment is that the pieces that they picked are already sold out! You see we do limited fabric runs and only make somewhere between 14 and 30 pieces of a garment because that is all of the quality fabric we can get. Now our girls love that because they are getting a unique piece not like Lane Bryant where thousands of girls have the same outfits. And since so many of our pieces are sold to tourists, they might have the only green leaf print Milly in Australia or Switzerland which is where two of them went.
Jessica Svoboda should be pretty happy because while praising her trouser jeans, Clinton practically put her logo right in the camera lens. You can't get better publicity than that!
All in all it was great publicity for Lee Lee's Valise. Check out the episode recap and click on the shop list to see all the great stuff they got at the store.
I am very happy.
Today the shopkeeper doesn't have any problems.

Looks like the lady was forced to buy the ugly green dress.
Looks to me like LeeLee's scored about 25% of the ENTIRE shopping budget. No other store was even close! Way to go, Lisa. They make it seem like all this is a quick fix, but I believe it's a longer process and now Theresa is walking on a different path.
Bissage is your real name lorraine tucci?
I hope Clinton gave you pointers on how to dress because Hawaiian shirts ain't gonna make it in a high end boutique!!!!
sporchi porchi tuccini!
A plus size pig calling me a pig.
Hey we speak English in this country.
Wow Bissage, you are very impressive.
I think I have my first troll.
What's the matter poppa troll, you can dish it out but can't take it.
Better use sticks and stones porcini!
Oh I can take it no problem.
You must have wandered over here from the nasty blogger lady's site.
Enjoy yourself.
Unless you are the lady herself.
Which could be quite possible.
Say are you related to Stanley Tucci?
I bet you are bald too?
Trolls drive traffic so you are helping me up my numbers everytime you post something here.
Without trolls that nasty blogger lady would have about five comments on every post.
Previous comment too long. Sorry.
All I'll say is good for Lee Lee's, and ask if your cellist plans to wear her new clothes anywhere to perform in?
Also, looking at the info on What Not to Wear's site, your prices are not too bad at all.
As for trolls, I pride myself on being something of a minor expert, having been around the internet since Usenet days, and before that a chat room host on AOL when it was a private network and charged by the minute. We called them "Snerts" on AOL back in the day, and could threaten a certain amount of financial pain to get them to stop. We envied the CompuServe sysops, though, who could, with a press of a key, bounce them off the network and into some pre-internet abyss.
Ah, for the good old days.
Ah, yes, Theo. I was on CS not quite as early but back in '91, it was a different beast.
