Soon after her November 5 birthday, Buffy Longworth of Forest Park begins preparations for her holiday shopping. For 19 years she has been passionate about assisting her family and clients with their holiday shopping. A woman on a mission, Buffy is as comfortable shopping at Big Lots as she is shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue. A statuesque blond with a fetching smile, she is flamboyant with a pop of Christmas flash. With her alligator shopping bag in tow, Buffy’s foray into the holiday retail-shopping world is underway. Her impeccable style and taste coupled with a lilting, Southern accent, enhances the joy of the season.
