i discovered this netflix, british/french/american show and i can't. stop. watching it. i mean "kids! your going to bed at 6" and "its NAP time!" and "hey lets watch george" while i sneak away with my ipad to watched 30 mins....cough.....
the show is based on the life of the real mr. selfridge an american wealthy gent, who moved to london to start up his own store. he brought a whole new look/attitude and started the concept of shopping for pleasure and not necessity. the show is a lose recap of his life, but to get a real peek into the man's real life ive been reading up on him on line....fascinating
anyways. back to the show, its filled with beautiful people, amazing clothes, delightful accents (those brits and frenchies!) the ladies of leisure shop, party and enjoy their tea...the show is based on the people who work at the store, which brings another fun, entertaining aspect...watching how they worked backed them....3 ppl to a sales counter...now a days there is 3 ppl in a store! har har the way the treated the costumers, how they were expected to behave, the influence of war on society and the changes that brought....ans my favorite....the window displays and the fact they hired 2 people to actually dress them....so fun! totally my dream job! i mean hello!
anyways. its a great show. i love it! and now i must get back to reality.....ha
happy friday!

Try the Paradise!!! I love Mr Selfridge, but in my humble oppinion , the Paradise surpasses it
i tried the paradise, watched the first sppy for about 20 mins then found mr. selfridge and watched 2 seasons in a wk (early bed times. hahaha) i did try the paradise out again this wk and made it through the first eppy....i think it's the time period i dont love, the late 1800's...im gonna try it again when i have some more time :) how far did you get in watching paradise?
