The Price Was Right
By Tammy Duffy
I love estate sales. The ladies of our world who never married have the most wonderful art collections and items that gals like me ooze over. I just obtained this suit from a recent estate sale. The estate sale was that of Virginia McDavid Goodson. This Zang Toi cashmere and fur suit was owned by Virginia McDavid Goodson, purchased for her by her then husband, Mark Goodman. Do these names ring a bell? Mrs Goodson was Miss Alabama 1953 and 3rd runner up for Miss American in 1954. She went on to marry Mark Goodman, THE game show producer of The Price Is Right, Matchgame, etc. Virginia lived a life filled with luxury. This suit if bought new would be several thousand dollars in price. I did not pay that. The cashmere and mink on this is suite are exquisite. One just feels RICH when you put it on. I paid.......$91.00. Yep....under $100. A girl just has to feel awesome when you get a deal like this!!! Virginia is still alive in Birmingham. I now own the suit and its in perfect condition. Does this make me a beauty queen because it was owned by one? A Gamergirl? Will I feel compelled to bellow, "Come on Down, You are the next contestant on the Price is Right." when I wear it? The Price was Right for this collector from NJ.
