HELLO………….
I did such a GOOD JOB with my legging POST the company https://www.shopsvelte.com is back again asking me to do a VIDEO!
HA!
A video……….I can barely film my animals let alone download that to YOU TUBE and POST it on my BLOG!
So, I asked my SUPERWOMAN RENA at https://theblogging911.com for HELP and HERE WE ARE!
HYSTERICAL if YOU ask ME!
This is MY FIRST ATTEMPT at a VIDEO…………..so LAUGH ALONG WITH ME!
THE ITALIAN doesNOT have ALL DAY to listen to his wife who DIRECTS and STYLES as WE go ALONG!!!
I cannot decide which one is BETTER and since my RIGHT HAND MAN has FLOWN THE COOP for a few days(I sent him on a JET PLANE by himself!) IT would be DIFFICULT to REDO by MYSELF with my TRUSTY SELFIE WAND!
SO,I am going to have you tell me which one I should SUBMIT to THE COMPANY!They want it for their FACEBOOK page and BLOG!!!!!!!They have NO idea I am doing the UNDER GARMENT…………SURPRISE!!!!
HOPE THEY APPROVE!
However, I do LOVE this
and will be buying the BLACK one as well since WE ALL GET A 25% DISCOUNT AT CHECKOUT!!!
I think that is MIGHTY KIND of these CANADIAN FOLKS……….did you ever meet a CANADIAN you did not like?
ME NEITHER!
Do you remember this company SHOPSVELTE???
Well, I picked out the Slim cut jeans (denim)
It has THAT TUMMY CONTROL and HUGS THOSE LEGS of MINE!
THE FABRIC IS SUPER STURDY and there is NO WAY BANKSY the GRAND PIGGY will NIP A HOLE THROUGH this FABRIC!
WHAT would YOU PICK if YOU were in the MARKET for this type of pant?
ARE YOU GAME TO GO TAKE A PEEK?
The CODE at CHECK~OUT on their site would be………Code: CONT25OFF ( One use per customer. )
SO, copy and paste this before you GO LOOK AND SEE JUST IN CASE!!!!
Do YOU know how to COPY and PASTE?
Hold the COMMAND button down on your keyboard and push down on your MOUSE. Start Covering with BLUE by moving your MOUSE to the RIGHT!
Once at their check~out put your arrow in their box and hold COMMAND DOWN and HIT V on the keyboard.
Code: CONT25OFF should POP UP!!!!!
That way you do not have to recall it!
EASY…….YES?
NO!!!!!!
LET ME KNOW.
(I HAVE AN APPLE COMPUTER)
If you bought LAST time and have ADDITIONAL information let us KNOW BY ALL MEANS good or bad in the COMMENT section.
WE NEED EVERYONE’S OPINION NOT JUST MINE!
SO, VIDEO ONE or VIDEO TWO which do YOU think could possibly work for their NEEDS?
Or do I need to practice MORE and wait for THAT ITALIAN To come HOME…….GET OVER JETLAG………and RE~SHOOT?
AS YOU CAN SEE I AM HAVING FUN WITH THIS AND AM FLATTERED THEY ASKED ME TO DO IT!
WHO KNEW I WOULD BE MODELING AT AGE 57!!!!

A BOOK REVIEW TO FOLLOW SOON on ALYSON’s SECOND BOOK!
If you have not seen it yet I was told per her EDITOR the book can be purchased HERE
It is a SMALL hardback book that would be a GREAT Hostess or Holiday gift for THAT woman of a CERTAIN AGE!
“You know style when you see it.
For me, it’s an unspoken thing.
It could be a woman walking down the street dressed in jeans and a floppy shirt,but she looks gorgeous.
It’s how the clothes hang on HER body,what shoes she’s wearing.
You can be elegant and chic when you’re wearing a shirt and jeans.”
As stated by LYN SLATER in THE BOOK KNOW YOUR STYLE.
MIX IT, MATCH IT,LOVE IT.
YES, it’s Time to start thinking about THAT HOLIDAY MONTH!
I hope this will HELP!

Fabulous – congratulations to you – the perfect ambassador!

DIVINE -#2. Ahhhh…… to have LONG legs. You are the PERFECT model for for those slim cut Jeans!
Beautiful Kimono. Glad you posted this on YOU TUBE- I can actually view it. Now if you could squeeze
Banksy into the next one- t’would make me SOOOOO Happy!!!!!!

Taste of France says
I like #2 best as well. Congratulations on your reinvention as a model!
The quote at the end is perfect. Must get that book.
Laura Lyman says

LA CONTESSA says
I was just thinking about YOU!!!!!!!!

Lisa says
I liked #2 best as well. I will definitely do some shopping and check out that book. I love the illustrations!
LA CONTESSA says
VERY YOU!
They are already selling used copies for $9.00 on AMAZON!
Big Hug,

Loree says
I would say number 2. You have such a beautiful voice. It’s perfect for adverts. I definitely need to know my style. Sometimes it feels like a mish-mesh of this, that and the other.
Anita says
#2 You seem relaxed and at ease in it.
LA CONTESSA says
RELAXED NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS I did not practice MY SCRIPT before PRODUCTION!!!!!!!
The DIRECTOR was in a HURRY!!!!!

Jacqueline says
Brilliant … well done Elizabeth ….. before you know it, you’ll be producing your first feature film and, I want to come with you when you are nominated for an Oscar !!! XXXX
LA CONTESSA says
NOW THAT WOULD BE FUN!
NOT SO MUCH THE OSCAR BUT MEETING YOU!!!!!!!!!

RebeccaNYC says
Oh I just adore you. These are both so cute, and I loved the one on IG too.
Love that it’s a Canadian company! Did I ever tell you that I am Canadian by birth? Got my passport last year. Yippie!
LA CONTESSA says
I REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?I ADORE YOU!!!!!!!
XX
Jennifer says
Number two…you’re a natural darling!!! Great fun seeing you last week xoxo
Jennifer Lively says
Video Number two is the winner…as are you. You are a fabulous model and do the brand justice.
You have very nice legs, I might add….
Ellie's friend from Canada says
Hi Elizabeth,
I love video #2. A friend was just telling me about some residents who were evacuating from their home when their dog bolted. Later, they went back to their home and found it had totally burned down. As they went up the driveway their dog greeted them. How thedog survived no-one will ever know!
LA CONTESSA says
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY TO SHARE……………XX
ellie's friend from Canada says
I think you can see it on the net if you google Swiss Bernese dog survives wildfire. sorry i can’t do a link. I heard the dog bolted, not that it was left behind, so I’m not sure it’s the same story but as it was a Swiss Bernese, i think it is.
Anita @ Vue at Jindivick says
I’m relieved to hear Elizabeth there are a pair of jeans on the market that are Banksy and Winston proof.
We consumers have been asking for that sort of protection for too long.
Neat xx
LA CONTESSA says
GOT IT COVERED!!!!!!!!
XO
Catherine says
I’m going against the grain here. My vote is for video one. Why? Because it is more natural and off-the-cuff than the other! I love that!! And your voice—it’s so nice!!!!! You are a shining star!!!!
LA CONTESSA says
APPRECIATE YOUR KIND WORDS!
XX
Kim says
Elizabeth you’re adorable and the perfect model… You were a model once right? I love the second video. You did a great job of styling this with the wrap and the jeans look great! Your house is so pretty!
I’ve been wanting to get Allyson’s book!
?? Kim
LA CONTESSA says
NO NEVER A MODEL…………too busy at BALLET CLASSES!!!!!
XX
Lisa White says
Elizabeth…both are fabulous, but VIDEO 2 IS THE CUTEST! I love the step outside and the fluttering of the kimono…it the jeans are really seen there and look beautiful. It also shows the top to good advantage as well. Who can resist a video with a sleepy-eyed Winston. Very well done!
I am also enjoying this book! I had it on pre-order!
Dianne D says
I can’t get past that room you’re standing in!!
I remember the room was on the cover of a garden room book.
LA CONTESSA says
NOT this room MY BEDROOM!
This is the KITCHEN where all Takes place………….
THANK YOU for remembering THAT BOOK!That was a LONG TIME AGO!!!!!!!
ALL books Our Home were in are on the HOME PAGE up top under PRESS and Publications!
The name of THAT book is Garden Style Bringing the Outdoors In by Mary Wynn Ryan

Bungalow Hostess says
Video 2 gets my vote!
You look Totally relaxed and honest!
What fun you are having!
Libby says
I vote for #2 also! Congratulations on the both videos…I usually end up so self-conscious, or start laughing. Well done and I will go look at the items on the site!!!
Cindy birss says
I always thought you would be a great model with those long legs..bravo for a perfect video #2. Again, always a fun way to start my day reading your posts.
Shireen says
Number two! Love the kimono!!! Gorgeous on you!
Stella Martin says
Pretty good start for a new videographer!!!
LA CONTESSA says
He would start without saying ACTION!
Drove me crazy……….we did this 4 times!!!
XX
lisa thomson says
Nice videos, Contessa! You’re so cute in them. Maybe Banksy can make an appearance in the next one? 😉
LA CONTESSA says
I will work on THAT but he is PHONE SHY!He always runs away when he see’s me with that PHONE UP!

1010ParkPlace says
The jeans are fabulous and so are you! Send video #2. You look smashing my friend! xoxox, Brenda
Linda clark says
Video 2! You look divine and a beautiful model !
Nancy B. says
What a delight to hear your voice: a little JackieO, a little California-classy. Always enjoy your fun-derful posts. Either vid works but if I had to choose: #2. You rock!
LA CONTESSA says
JACKIE O AND CALIFORNIA-CLASSY!!!!!!!!!
YOU MADE MY DAY!!!!!
XX
Sheila-Merle Johnson says
I think they would like video #1 if they want to also promote the slimming cami, otherwise #2. Love the mix of up-style and middle-style. The semi-sneakers are such a good counterpoint to the gorgeous, elegant kimono. You look stunning and playful.
Joy Moos says
Once again you are a STAR! Brilliant choice to make you a spokesperson……you are the perfect Contessa everyone wishes to be like!
Both videos are charming…the kimono is divine…..
Whichever video is chosen…..it will be a smashing success!
Hugs galore,
Joy
LA CONTESSA says
THANK YOU! JOY!!!!

foodiefan says
I thought no. 2 too! You come across very relaxed! Their top and bottom looks fab with your kimono and shoes and the backdrop of your house is perfect. Bravo!!!
the gardeners cottage says

D. A. Wolf says
What fun! You look so glam! #2!
Sandra Sallin says
So cute. I love it. Ready for your Oscar? You move so gracefully. Really great job of selling lady.
Sandy Jones says
#2 is by far the better ideo. You will get better and better the more you do it. Just speak regularly and it will become second nature.
Congrats!!!
Apart From My Art says
The people want more! More! The company must be thrilled.
April says
Vid#2—-love it and you!!!!
I think that tank is amazing and the jeans captivating —–love having the discount.
I just put the book in my Amazon cart—–can’t wait to read.
Thank you Contessa! You bring smiles to me, always.
Ros short says
Love no two ,gets message across & the twirl in the kimono was a model moment
LA CONTESSA says
NUMBER TWO IT IS………….XX
Robin in Umbria says
You are absolutely a natural as a model! So glamorous; jeans and a white T are my go-to uniform, but I never look as amazing as you do. Brava Cara. XO

CIAO BELLA……….THANKS for weighting in!

Cara says
It was nice to hear your voice. Not what I expected! I vote for video number 2. You seem even more confident and at ease in it. THANKS!
LA CONTESSA says
YOU made me LAUGH out loud!
Yes, the VOICE Is a bit HIGH PITCHED………………not my BEST quality!
Thank you for that GOOD LAUGH!

Mithra Ballesteros says
I am beyond tickled that you are doing more sponsored posts. And this video was perfect — with your long legs, swan neck, and funny conversational asides, you’re a natural! Even your nervousness is appealing. Much more “real” than some slick youngster. I and your legions of fans are excited to observe you on this new career path, and offer advice when needed. Bottom line: any advertiser would be so lucky to get your authenticity behind one of their products. Woot woot!
LA CONTESSA says
YOU ARE A HOOT!
THANK YOU!

cindy hattersley says
Do we have to pick?!! I love them both! I am going to have to head over there that top is fabulous! You are the perfect model!

D.A. Squires says
I am writing this a day late and a dollar short : ) DOOR # 2!!! You are so perfect for this…they should be making you an offer…even your blog name is PERFECTION!! We NEED to see more women of a certain age with STYLE AND SPARKLE…and that is YOU!! I hope they’re reading all the comments and hearing the applause… because it is resoundingly clear…we choose YOU to represent all of US!! XO
