      Michael Dugenia Or was she like my mother who thought she was incredibly stylish but was in reality a short buxom little lady in glasses with a bubble hair style that was so short waisted it was sad because of where her chest was. She would buy things like jeweled black suede high heeled cowboy boots that she has never worn. Many things hang in her closet with the tags still on them. One day I went over there and she was about 76 and she had just opened a package that had just came that was an ankle bracelet with huge turquoise gemstone charms all the way around and I had a fit and I said she would look ridiculous, well I made her mad that day, she didn’t like being criticized but nobody was wearing ankle bracelets especially like that. It would have looked nice on a young Hawaiian girl in a sarong with tan legs and bare feet. But not an old woman. But the pictures of this woman in her house looked very glamorous.

      I go to estate sales often and by the time any shoppers get there, the family has already long decided what to keep. Some professional sellers require the family not be present at the sale to avoid awkward interactions with collectors or business owners (like Doris) who will analyze items through a profit gain/loss lens. And this is TV, they’re thinking out loud for a camera.
