Getting Drunk at Marshall Fields

What’s better than discovering the 80% off rack at Fields? How about browsing it with drinks & hor’dourves?

Margaret and I were discussing how lame Fashion Week in Chicago is and beelining it to the 80% off rack when a woman walked up and asked us if we wanted a bottle of Pelligrino. Parched from shopping, of course we said “yes.” Ten minutes later a guy walks up offering white wine, which we eagerly take, giving him our water bottles. So we’re browsing the clearance racks some more and a cute waiter comes up and asks me if I want an apple martini. I look down at the white wine in my left hand and the hangers of clothes in my right, stumble through my words saying something like “I.. uh.. white wine.. uh. .. hands full… shopping…..” He says to me, “The correct answer would be “YES!” So, “Yes!,” I say. There I am with white wine in one hand, an apple martini in another, and clothes hanging off my wrist when a waitress comes up asking me if I want chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick. Are you freaking kidding me? Of course I want that!

This of course was all a part of Marshall Fields’ Fashion Week festivities, which we both now agree that we love!

  1. If you didn’t actually buy anything, then why were you trying ballance hangers of clothes when there were more important things to hold onto, like drinks and cheesecake?

  2. Yes, Dick was right. I suppose I could’ve said “what did you buy?” but it sounded like a lot of hangers – so for some reason I added “all”. Now that you say that, it does sound funny.

    They probably didn’t fit because you either had them on wrong (arms in leg holes, etc. – you never know what you’ll do when you’re drinking. Did you leave the store in your own clothes?
