The Queen's Meme #15 ~ The Shopping Madness Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Tuesday Meme #15Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious.Always fun!Step out of the box. Be creative.Use your imagination.No one's answers are quite like yours.
This meme is calledThe Shopping Madness Meme (aka The Naked Mannequin Saga)

1. What is favorite item to shop for and why? I really do not like to shop....Well, since I adore shoes, I think that would be my favorite thing to shop for. Oh, and I do like shopping for my house...does that count? Oh, and I like to shop for my sister. Does that count?

Why do I shop? Hmmm...well because I have to if I am going to get shoes for my feet, furniture for my home and lots of things for my sister.

2. Quality vs. Price. Will you buy off-brand replicas at a discount store or must you have the real thing? Why or why not? No, I go for quality all the way. My grandmother always said to buy the best that you can afford and that has been good advice so far. Don't you know that you get what you pay for? If I can't afford it then I wait until I can or watch for a sale.

3. Have you ever asked a sales clerk to remove something from display if it is the last one in the store? Tell us what special something would make you strip the clothes off a mannequin.(which begs the question...Are all mannequins born naked?)

If I really like something and it is in my size, I will ask the sales lady to take it down for me, but then if it is the last one, I don't want the mannequin to be naked... Of course all mannequins are born naked...until a stylist dresses her and makes her beautiful.

5. I really don't care if a guy goes shopping with me. I'm in my own zone and always have a plan. Are you an alone-shopper or would you like to have company? I don't want any men shopping with me...because when I shop I am on a mission, a mission impossible. If you know what I mean? I like to shop with my best friend because she knows my style and taste, but I can shop all by myself.

6. Have you ever done anything other than actually try on clothes in a dressing room? (I have no idea why this question followed the previous one. Ahem.) Of course I have...haven't you? But I am not telling! No it's not what you think...Ha Ha Ha!

7. Do you like or do you get annoyed when salesclerks and store management follows you around asking "May I help you?" a million times? (I have no idea why this question followed the previous one.) I am all about service when I shop and I expect someone to help me. A simple greeting is fine, but I will ask you if I need help... (That is why I bring my friend) ...It depends on whether I can find my size.

8. Create your very own store-brand name. (ie; Toys 'R Us, WalMart) What would YOUR establishment's name be? Place the name on this sign. When we are finished with this meme, I'll put them all together and we'll have our very own shopping mall.If you don't know how to write on this from your computer, go to imagechef.com and find it in the "signs" category. It's simple.
And please, for the of all things plastic, stay out of the dungeon. It's almost Christmas!
