I've been snapping up Tailored Woman items on eBay lately. One of my friends theorizes that so many items are coming on the market because of the down economy. I know that I will start having to sell some of my closet shortly to pay for all of these new acquisitions, which include leopard print pumps, a pink satin dress, and a navy leather purse that is very Kelly bag-esque. I've noted that some sellers are checking my blog for information on the store, then including it in their sales descriptions. I'm only too glad to help! (Though they are preaching to the choir, since I'll likely be the one buying the items. It's all very 'meta' or self-referential or whatever the term is.)
A while back I purchased these original illustrations from the Tailored Woman's
New York Times and
Sunday Tribune advertisements. The illustrator was Naomi Shapin and the ads appeared sometime in the 1960s. This rather grand lady reminds me of Patricia Neal's character in
Breakfast at Tiffany's, sweeping into the apartment of her kept man, the gorgeous young George Peppard, with a cry of, "Dahhling...!"
(Not that I would ever think of buying a young man on eBay or anywhere else, mind you...)

How cool that you can connect with your family and your past via eBay. Brilliant! And really, all these purchases are just additional resources for your fabulous memoir! Think of the museum potential! Book signing plus exhibit of The Tailored Woman clothing, advertisements, and accessories! I can't wait!! :-)
