Order your SATC Tulle Skirts Early for Halloween!




Order Early for Halloween!
Get Go Retro!

For all you Sex and the city fans! You know this famous skirt! Carrie Bradshaw sports it in the opening sequence! Well, this is a replica made to fit you!   So, for all of you who want to be "Carrie Bradshaw" again this year for Halloween ... order your Sex and the City Tulle Skirts early in order to get one!  


This tutu skirt has a soft, silky bottom layer made from high-end Bemberg lining. This fabric is static-cling resistant and breathable, so you can sit pretty or dance the night away with out feeling sticky or clingy, just FABULOUS. Four layers of bridal tulle are gathered and sewn in a fabulously feminine 3-tier style. At the back, there is a satin ribbon tie closure with a row of satin covered buttons underneath.

This skirt is designed to be worn high waisted and would look great with a skinny tank top and a pair of sexy heals!

Fun trivia info ...

''People had reservations about the tutu in the opening sequence,'' Sarah Jessica Parker told EW in 2003. But she and costume designer Patricia Field ''stuck to our guns.'' And so it was that even before her first scene, Carrie Bradshaw and her $5 vintage tulle skirt became an instant fashion classic. Fittingly, the tutu, from Parker's personal collection, makes a cameo in the movie.

The Fifties Housewife .... "The Rules"

Some of you may have already seen this ... but it deserves another 'round on the net.  : )  Personally, I'd be in big trouble if this was a "pass" or "fail" job : )

The Good Housewife

The following is excerpted from an actual 1950's high school Home Economics textbook:


ADVANCE: How to be a Good Wife

HAVE DINNER READY:   Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal--on time. This is a way to let him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned with his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home, and having a good meal ready is part of the warm welcome that is needed.

PREPARE YOURSELF: Take fifteen minutes to rest so that you will be refreshed when he arrives. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift. Greet him with a smile.

CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: Make one last trip though the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up children's books and toys, papers, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you lift too.

PREPARE THE CHILDREN: If they are small, wash their hands and faces and comb their hair. They are his little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

MINIMIZE ALL NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise from the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

SOME "DO NOT'S": Don't greet him with problems and complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as a minor problem compared to what he might have gone through that day.

MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE: Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest that he lie down in the bedroom. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he doesn't take you to dinner or to other entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to unwind and relax.

THE GOAL: TO MAKE YOUR HOME A PLACE OF PEACE AND ORDER WHERE YOUR HUSBAND CAN RELAX IN BODY AND SPIRIT.
