T.T.T.Tuesday!

Nothing much happens on tuesdays does it? It's that day that is neither here nor there, Monday is the beginning of the week, wednesday is half way through, thursday is looked on as the day before the last day and friday is the last day before the weekend, but tuesday, well it is a nothing day.

I like tuesdays, when I worked it was the day that I was always raring to go after the rigours of Monday catchup's, it was always more relaxed than Monday and not dreaded as much as wednesday, not as hectic as Thursdays and not looked forward to as much as Friday, so Tueday should be the calm day, the day we all sigh and say 'well it cannot be as bad as yesterday' The day you can breath as all the weekend work was caught up on Monday and the rest of the week has not yet happened.

And next.

Helping my friend in her fancy dress shop has been hilarious this past couple of weeks, she does all kinds of fancy dress and party stuff but the emphasis at the moment is on halloween. You have to use your imagination here but some of our ladies costumes are made to maximise the ladies assets, short to the point of non-existence and basque like tops, with flimsy netting on the arms (if there are any arms) or fish nets on the legs. Now they are very beautiful, we have witches and devils and brides and fallen angels, we have mid length and long as well and Landers would have a field day in there :)). The other day we got a group of young people in, all in their early twenties, three girls and two boys, they were choosing something for halloween, a couple of the girls were easy to sort out and the boys knew exactly what they wanted, both the boys were tutting and fussing over the girls costumes, one more so than the other, I almost thought Landers had a contender for his queen crown :))

One girl could not choose, they looked and they discarded and they tried on and discarded, and there was one particular costume that was very flimsy, but pretty which was a ballerina which looked superb on the girl, but she worried about the shortness,in the end Mr Landers wannabe turned round and said "Oh my god girl you are harder to please than me and I am gay!' so immediately I turned round and said 'Well it will look lovely on you too' at which point they all fell about laughing, and it seemed to loosen up the poor girl. We did manage to find her a lovely costume in the end, after an hour and a half, and they all left with the promise of coming back in Decmeber for their party outfits.

We had a guy come in five minutes before we closed as he wanted a costume for his wife, he wanted the one that was in the window, which was the last one of that design, so we asked what size is she, Um! he said, so my friend said 'is she my size?' so he looked and said 'oh,no!' (my friend is a 14-16) then he turns to me and says 'take your scarf and coat off' what! (I wear my coat and scarf cos it is cold) so I did, 'that size' he says and then 'can you try it on for me?' imagine that this is one of the outfits I described above, basque top, flimsy skirt, :oops: But, we dont want to lose a sale do we? So I did, but over my jeans and top :)) The guys was well suited and though it was one of our more expensive costumes bought it and went away happy, well he was smiling so I presume he was happy :))

My friend and I just looked at each other after he had gone and cracked up, 'right' she says 'in future you are modelling them'
'Only if you get fur lined ones' says I :))

So it has been a lot of fun, and given me something to do and gets me out of the house to boot :)

And now it is time to go and make myself presentable to the world, so have a great day and see you later :wave:
