Watch me do math on live TV! Do you remember Hit Parader magazine? Shari Lewis? This week we're valuing Kids'Pittsburgh Today LiveToday Heather Abrahamer AbDavid Highfield Highfield
Great show, Dr. Lori. I am glad Heather won 🏆 this week. Those 2 have a lot of fun with you. So do I. I look forward to Tuesday to see you on Pittsburgh PTL 😀❤️
I loved Lambchop.....
Still getting nice remarks about being on The Drew Barrymore Show Did you catch it? On Tuesday: my regular tv appearances--I'm talking about t#vintagestylestyle items. Tune in to see what's trash or #valuese. #values
Yes I saw you on Drew's show
I could not find the show because of basketball. 😤
I missed it! I will see if I can find it on youtube.
What would you do? #fashion #shopping
I would walk away and I would also give them a negative Google review
what a lousy business - i’d complain & leave reviews & walk away - ask another tailor to examine your dress & tell you if it was done - or CALL or visit where you bought the dress & ask for measurement of length & compare to prove your point & maybe return evidence to bad place & get refund or have them fix for free!! bad bad people
Yes, I would walk away. 🚶♀️
Yes walk away. They're incompetent.
Walk away
Yes
Def walk away
Walk away! Goodness. I do my own hems, repairs, etc. and that should take minutes to do (especially if that is their profession). They have already wasted YOUR time and money and want to charge you double the second round. No, Ma'am! Someone else can do better for you.😘
That's nuts! Lol.
For sure...walking
Correct answer
If this is the 1st time going to this place, I sure wouldn’t go back there. Look them up too and see how many complaints they have or better yet…notify the BBB. I doubt it if you are the only one having issues. They could have admitted that it was an oversight. Just saying …🤔😊
I’d walk too!
I'd put the story on their website starting with Caveat Emptor: ...
I would of walked away...you did good 👍 😩 😫
Report it to BBB. If you paid via credit card, call your credit card customer service number and dispute the charge. Also, you should make a post with the name of the business. They may contact you to remove the post and you can tell them you will, after they refund your money.
Def walk away!
You did the right thing! Find someone else bc that color looks great on you!
Definitely.
Walk away with my money back!
"I must applaud this shop for their incredibly unique approach to tailoring! They truly think outside the box—my dress was returned exactly as I brought it in, leaving the original design perfectly untouched, which was certainly... unexpected! I was so impressed by their confidence when they suggested charging double to actually do the work the second time. It’s rare to find such bold creativity and a commitment to ensuring a customer comes back, again and again! If you’re looking for a memorable, artistic experience where the result is a total mystery until the last minute, this is the place for you."
I'd walk and give an awesome review on yelp. 😉
Walk away, very fast. They are dishonest! You know nothing was done! Who do they think they are to charge you double the second time. Greedy! Where is the customer service?
If you paid with a credit card, you could dispute the charge.
I would walk away AND tell future customers to proceed with caution.
I’m talking about this plate for a very important reason. So you can Cash in. See my Reveal on Tuesday. #iykyk #vintage
Stay tuned on my FB page for the link to watch the segment where I talk about the plate. Just did the segment this morning. Waiting for TV to post it so I can share it.

Dad and I used to watch every year. With Ice cream and waiting for Amen corner. This Sunday, it’s the Masters. #golf
My Dad played into his 80s and he was a very accomplished athlete even into old age. The Masters say Spring to me. I am thrilled that I got to present an appraisal event in Augusta GA a few years back. Such a wonderful part of the world. #golf #themasters
The weather has been gorgeous there this week. I made cheese spread sandwiches!
My Dad was a golf fanatic. He loved the sport and he played it fairly well. Come Sunday we watched many a tournament together! I miss those days.
Memories we didn't know we were making, my mother loved Golf.
We are watching too in Eastpointe!
That was a great tournament to watch. And, what a fun memory for you.
Sure was an exciting week of golf ⛳️. I’m thrilled Rory got his groove back today!!! Only the fourth player to ever win back-to-back Masters 🤗🤗🤗
Watch me talking trash and maybe appraising it too this week on @TBMorningBlend with good sport Natalie Taylor and Roxanne Wilder
Dr. Lori, we are lucky to have you. You are brilliant 👏 😀
Love you Dr. Lori, so beautiful and so smart

I look forward to see you every Tuesday Dr. Lori! One of my favorite segments !
Good morning 🥰
Good morning my love ❤️
Having Yacht withdrawal!! Making your own dinner is lousy. I was very spoiled—not anymore. #travel
I bet. That chef prepared life was kinda convenient, eh?
Oh thats the worst after coming off an amazing cruise 🛳 Sitting down in the dining room and being served is the bomb
Coming back to reality after being spoiled is never easy..
That looks delicious 😋
I think it looks fabulous.
One of the reasons I love cruising...the food.
Both look yummy, I'll eat it!
Yummm
They both look really good
looks good! 👍
Wow, that's a lot of beans and I can't be doing it all.
Looks delicious!
It looks delicious 😋. I guess you will have to order in. 😉 🤣❤️
One fart and you'll be hungry again.
Looks great!
I'm soaking some chickpeas as we speak
Loads of laundry post-cruise isn’t as glamorous as the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Now, where is my mojito? #travel withdrawal
PVD is a real thing. Post Vacation Depression. haha
Dr. Lori, welcome home 🏡 ♥️. I am flat you are back safely. Hate it when you have laundry to do after a fantastic cruise. 😒
Dust and laundry never ending, ever!
The dust has settled, the shine is no more:)
Lol. Serax
😂. The mint isn't up yet Lori... You'll need vino for now. Welcome home
Ha ha. We are also getting off a cruise,it is going to be hard to get back to real life.
It went with the missing sock...lol.
