Happy Valentines Day everybody. I hope your Valentine gives you something special today. We have a lot of the guys in the neighborhood dropping by to get last minute presents because they forgot that it is Valentines day. Luckily for them, the bodega next door has a bunch of fresh cut flowers, the card store down the block is fully stocked and we have a bunch of accessories and other stuff that is perfect for a Valentine gift without breaking the bank.
Pictured are two of our best dresses. The Melissa maxi dress in the Massoni print and what I call the Erte dress in a geometric beefy fabric imported from Italy. I always tell the girls who try it on that when you wear that dress you should be smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder and standing next to a very skinny dog. Sometimes they are nice enough to chuckle.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and your sweetheart, Trooper!

ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day all (well, all the wimmins actually)
ReplyDeleteTrue story: While and undergraduate carrying a full credit load and working two part time jobs (pizza chef and welder) I met a nice girl just before Valentines Day.
Wanting to do the right thing, but also being totally out of time, I dashed into a pharmacy, picked out a card, addressed and stamped the envelope and jogged to the post office which was going to lock up in about 30 seconds.
I hastily scribbled a message, stuffed the envelope, handed it to the postal worker and beat feet for work.
Two days later I get a shrieking, out of control phone call from the new girlfriend, wondering what kind of animal I was and threatening to call the police and the Health department, and pointing out that her father was a prominemt attorney in her hometown, etc.
After trying for several minutes, I finally got her to calm down ans explain what had gotten her so pissed off. It was my hastily-scribbled message in the Valentines Day card.
It was: Happy VD!
We didn't have any more dates.
Doh! I read Michael H's story after posting on Althouse, i swear!
