I SURVIVED BLACK FRIDAY 2011!!!

Queen Ginger forgot to bring her camera, but I assure you, scenes like this were prevalent throughout the land as folks swarmed the malls at midnight to make "Black Friday" the newest phenomenon to hit the shopping universe!


Part of the Queen's professional role was to check out the competition, so she check out Target, Kohl's, and many others, and there were lines like she's never seen as people waited patiently to get their sweaters, electronics, and the item of the year: the triple slow cooker!

Apparently, everyone in the world needs to cook three things at a time all day long!

Luckily, the crowds here in Texas didn't go crazy like they did in the state that invented crazy!

How was Black Friday in your neck of the woods? Did anybody brave it?

Miss Ginger Survives Black Friday

Black Friday has come and gone, and it was a rousing success for Miss G and her stores. If there is an economic downturn, it certainly wasn't apparent Friday!

Miss Ginger scheduled herself sat the Galleria, because a.) it's close to chez Ginger, b.) she has 2 stores there, c.) it's the 4th largest mall in the US, and d.) it's FABULOUS! It was packed, but all the customers seemed to be in great moods, not bitching and whining about the long lines and crowded garages like they sometimes do. They waited patiently to be rung up, and really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Today Miss G went into the office for a few hours to recap the successes, then went off to have her mani and pedi (paws and claws, in kitty speak!)
