Pippa-dee parties

[Darbees]

Seems that Anne Summers got the idea of holding their parties in peoples homes from Pippa Dee, if I had known that at the time I might have stayed in.

there was also the Tupperware parties, and a jewellery comapny that did "selling" parties, too, called "Sarah Coventry". I remember my mother hosting All three, Tupperware, Pippa Dee, and Sarah Coventry, round about 1970 to 73.

There was another one she did, selling cosmetics, Miss Mary of Sweden.

*shocked* I know MMOS did cosmetics, but I thought they were more to do with corsetry (girdles, bras and stuff).

[Darbees]

Well if they were I never saw them. Could do with tracking them down and getting a girdle actually after trying my smart new £6 Tesco jeans on today.

My grandma used to buy pretty hefty corsetry from MMOS: and I mean hefty!

My wife was a Pippa-Dee party organizer for some years in the late 60s-early 70s.

These parties were well-attended and proved very popular.

I love how threads wander - it would be great if Heeley tyke found a cb buddy on here. Actually I just wanted to ask can you still get tupperware?
