Come to the Cabi-ret

Have you gotten an invitation to a Cabi party yet? I’ve received at least two and I’m not sure what to make of them.

Whereas our moms went to Tupperware parties, we are now invited to clothes buying events.  Cabi is short for Carol Anderson, a dress designer who got her start in the 1970s. You can only purchase her clothes through a party at a friend of workmate’s home. (Note the “relaxed atmosphere” reference on the Web site.)

You don’t earn all that much for hosting a party – a few discounts on clothing, etc. But the folks I know who host these things things say they’re da bomb for middle age women.

Hmmm. Well, I’m not much for sitting around and buying stuff at parties. But I guess I’d rather hear about a line of clothes than the way a lid burps. We’ve come a long-ish way, baby.
