"The Paradise" Contest
Some period drama-loving friends and I are throwing a big online party to celebrate Masterpiece airing season one of The Paradise. There will be a première night Twitter chat, weekly recaps, and to kick things off . . . a fun contest involving one of our favorite pastimes - SHOPPING! This seemed appropriate as The Paradise is a Victorian-era department store where plucky heroine Denise Lovett is employed in the Ladieswear Dept.
