Mr Selfridge (2013)
Mr. Selfridge
folks..I am obsessed with the 20th century..before the 50s...and especially stores...The May Company, Higbee's and Halles, all in the past sadly, along with the memories..instead we have wal mart...and ..that is it as Target, while being an upper class wal mart, sadly it is an overpriced one..
Mr.Selfridge is the boss I dreamed of having..hard working yet respectful of his extended family...his employees.
you feel the excitement in the 1st season as his partner leaves him high and dry..yet, he marches on with only success and the pitfalls of family and work..
how i dream of the past, of the pageantry of getting dressed up on a tuesday to go downtown and shop with me mum..a lil england there folks..lol..to put on my lip on tie and get on a buss..which i still call trolley..and head out for a day in the big city!..even though we lived 3.5 miles away..
Christmas was the best, the windows downtown were 2nd to none..if you saw "A Christmas Story" you saw what I mean in the beginning of the movie...
but I admit, I am on my 3rd viewing of the entire series and of course study the real Mr.Selfridge vs this version..and..i will stop there..lol..anyhow..best series ever!
