I love the story about the lingerie party. The next time I’m at a “shop at my house” party I will have to remember that trick if I either want to make things interesting or simply escape!

Kate
You have me laughing out loud and I haven’t even had my coffee yet. I just clicked over to your blog after I sent my first response and read your post on Tupperware parties. You nailed it and the hostess definitely knew how to sale plastic by serving yummies and wine.

In my pre-children days I hosted many direct sale parties from plastic to jewelry. The most memorable and still talked about by my girlfriends was a lingerie party. As the guests arrived the power went out. Didn’t matter, by candlelight we drank wine and modeled the nightgowns.

We were saved from the mindless games because the sales person had never had a party where the power went out and was thrown by the whole experience. As the sales started flowing like the wine she realized the value of candlelight and wine. Powerless made for a most memorable party, thanks for the memory jog.

Well there you have it. You are hosting this party so that you have heirloom plastic to pass down to your nieces and nephews (after your children claim all the good china and silver).

I like the “Storage Wars” comparison. I have watched that show more than I care to admit, and am hosting my first Tupperware “auction” party, which makes me think there’s some connection. This, in fact, will be my first time hosting a sales party of any sort. I really don’t know what possessed me to agree to it. Guess it was the wine.

Years ago my aunt ordered Tupperware containers at a party “to be polite” to the hostess. After receiving the order, she gave most of it to my sister and me, keeping a few for herself. Almost 30 years later, I still use those containers and think of my aunt every time I pull one out of the drawer.

Inspiring quest there. What happened after? Take care!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You bring up some great points. I have to admit, I don’t know much of the details and I’m not big on unions in the modern labor force. But I do think it’s time for both sides to at least talk to each other. My son, who pays a lot more attention to detail in the sports world than I do (or than I think he should), said he thought the deal offered by the NFL was unfair. The season lasts more than four months (over six) and I know from my own amateur coaching experience that a lot of time is spent in the off-season training and preparing. And these guys are at the top of their field.

I’m not sure who’s side to take. But, it’s always hard for me to side with people striking who make a lot more money than me. 150K a year and working only 4 months a year sounf real good to me.
