I Wanted to See How Many Actually Wore the Apron During Thier Shows.

[MissChef]

In my almost 9 years of selling, I have gone without an apron maybe, at most 10 times, and that would be because I forgot it!!!!!!
I am waaaay to much of a messy cook! And I'll wipe something on my pants and then I'd really feel dumb:blushing: ..... I wear a nice blue PC blouse and white pants!! ughhhh..... I need an apron! Plus I think I own like 20 of them!!!! But I still don't have a black one and I want one!

Luckily that apron adjusts to size because it still fits me at 8.5 months pregnant! I always wear it, and the pins I've earned. I always have a PC towel in one pocket, and my timer clipped to one.

I think I did one show without my apron and felt naked! I've even worn it while making Thanksgiving dinner, to keep my clothes clean while I'm making dinner. My family just laughed the first time, but now they expect it. LOL

I feel naked without my apron...I've actually turned around on my way to a show because I forgot it! I put it on just as I'm starting the demo and always have an extra for my host (though I saw a posting about letting everyone pick an apron to wear...I'm thinking about that one)

I wanted to see how many actually wore the apron during thier shows. I know I have quit wearing mine because it looks awful and I am too cheap to buy a new one. I was watching the new DVD and they all were wearing theirs, but I didn't know if it was because they were being filmed or not.What do you do?

I wear my apron because, like a lot of people, I'm really messy and am constantly wanting to wipe my hands on stuff.

My guess is that since PC includes the apron in the kit, they expect that we will wear it and film everyone wearing it for that reason.

I've heard of using it as a recruiting tool saying that just like the apron fits all consultants, it fits all dreams just as well... regardless of size.

I wear mine when I start my show, Its the "time to get started" signal - I also have the pins I have earned for top sales, recruiting, at regional as well as the hwc pin, I keep my scraper for when I talk about stoneware, the garlic press tool that comes with it (I know it self stores) and a towel, doorprize slips, and 2 citrus peelers (my virgin prizes) all in the pockets - I do take it off after I give the doorprize out and am finished with my presentation -

Oh yeah - and I tuck a towel into the front string... figure it is a good way to show the towels as well.

And when I wear it at home, I wear it backwards so I don't stain it.

I don't think I've ever washed mine! Maybe once, but I have to wear it because of the towel thing. I don't like to be looking all over someone's kitchen for a towel. (Not sure why it isn't right by the sink, but it never seems to be right there.) Plus I don't like to use a towel that I'm not sure is clean. Eek!

I've never washed mine either and I wear it at every show!! I guess I'm a farily neat cook, plus with the new show format, I actually don't do any cooking at my shows!!! LOL At my last show I went off to the side and sat down with two of the guests who were talking amongst themselves and I started bragging about how great my job was!!

I always wear my apron, but don't put it on until I'm just ready to start the presentation and take if off after the recipe is ready. Since I'm a Food Bank Coordinator this year, I like to wear that apron and it gets people asking what it means.

Also, you could pin a $100 bill (fake or real) to the top of your apron and explain to people that that is the amount of money you are going to be making tonight in commission.

This has nothing to do with whether I wear my apron or not, but...

My 4yo was trying to ask me something one day and I couldn't understand what he was saying. He was helping me put away my stuff from a show, so I figured he was asking about a product (he has significant speech problems, so is very hard to understand some days). He finally pointed to my apron and said, "I said, Where does your prawn go?" He always thought that when I said "apron" that I was saying "a prawn"! Funny guy!

Put mine on for the demo only. It is OFF when I greet/take orders.
