Re: “Adventures in Thrifting”
I certainly miss thrifting in the US. Love the furnitures. Good spot! I blog on the thrift stores in Adelaide, South Australia. Over here, we call them op shops. I love to share my blog with you. http://opshopdiva.wordpress.com

Re: “Adventures in Thrifting”
A gentleman working in the former-DAV thrift store last time I was there told me that's where the remnants of Bojo's ended up...that would explain the primo furniture and vintage pieces!

Re: “TLC's What Not To Wear Comes To Memphis”
I loved Emi and I would personally love to meet her! She seemed like a sweet, spunky girl but stuck in the shadow of her mother and grandmother. I was so happy to see her come out of her shell and look her best! GOOD LUCK EMI! :) :) :) :)
Re: “TLC's What Not To Wear Comes To Memphis”
I'm in Mass. I saw the show last night and loved Emi's transformation. She's gorgeous and now the outside matches the inside. She has a great personality.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
Way to neg up the place M_Awesomeberg! Geez, they had fun and attended a fancy party at the Dixon. Everyone was happy. The End.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
I'm happy to see some real women with real figures, finally!
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
Well, shoot. I guess I was exploited by the big, bad corporate monster. Granted, I don't feel like I was taken advantage of. I actually feel like I had a very good relationship with my employer. But, some dude on the internet told me I was exploited so I guess I was.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
No offense, ladies, but being "asked" by your employers whether you wanted to volunteer your time outside of work for something work-related, doesn't qualify as voluntary. Who benefited from your services at this show, if not your employer? It's not like you participated in this show because you were auditioning for Vogue. Whether you realize it or not, your employer took advantage of you, and if you weren't paid for your time, you damn well should have been.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
I was one of the volunteer models. We were asked if we wanted to participate. No pressure whatsoever. It was fun to be able to attend an event outside of work with my wonderful co-workers.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
I participated in a work-related fashion show many years ago. My experience was delightful. I was asked if I wanted to participate. There was no pressure. I gladly accepted and had a terrific time.
Re: “Dixon Garden Party With Anthropologie”
Hannah: I'm wondering whether these employees were paid for their services as models, or were the victims of what you wrote about recently in your "Purloined Paychecks" piece.
This is precisely the kind of extracurricular work an employer might expect an employee to do, but not pay them for.
Could you please inquire and let us know?

Re: “Aisle Style: Kroger”
Sorry, Mark, but East Memphis and style are just as oxymoronic as Kroger and style.
