Missoni For Target Free Stuff!

I applaud the PR team for Target!!!

Web site went down early this morning because of the feeding frenzy to get Missoni for Target stuff. So Alberto and I jumped in the ancient Bimmer (1985 BMW), and high tailed across the Crescent City Connection to the West Bank (The Best Bank, or The Wank, the other side of the mighty Mississippi). We thought they opened at 10 AM, and that here deep in Cajun country there would be few Missoni lovers.

Well, yes and no. Apparently they opened the doors at 8 AM and there was a feeding frenzy of shoppers. I'm surprised there wasn't a brass band and a second line, and someone dishing out gumbo.

A nice guy who worked there said it was an orderly friendly mob, and he was kind hoping for a tug-of-war cat fight or two, but nothing liked that happened. He said the funniest thing is how the entire mob went from one section of the store to another en masse.

Eva and Faye, two nice girls who offered me their discards, had been shopping since 9 AM for Missoni at Target

We got there about ten after ten, and there were still a very few things on the clothing rack. I scored a sweater, a blouse, a pair of gloves, and a scarf. There was enough of a choice to put back quite a few things. All accessories, like headbands, and little cosmetic bags were gone.  In housewares, I found a few things, but never got to see a pillow. Shoes were picked over too, unless you were a size 8.

All of the clothes run true to size. I wear an 8, and the medium is perfect. Nice enough quality too. The size 8 shoe was too big, so I imagine the shoes are true to size too (I wear 7.5 in street shoes, 7 in dance shoes). The best stuff is the kids stuff, and there was plenty of that. I tried on an XL kids trench coat, that nearly fit, so for any of you small girls out there, check out the kids section.

Target employees said stuff will be back in stock soon, and will be around for two months.
As usual, almost immediately this stuff shows up on eBay
There are already over 3,000 items listed there!

So darling readers, I picked up a few things for you, a collection of six cute things.
