Lee Remick took time out from the Christmas rush to do some shopping for herself. And Ebenezer Scrooge would not have approved. First, “she spent three hours here and tried on everything there was,” says Irit Ehrlich of Irit Designs in Beverly Hills. Then, she narrowed down her choices and still had a velvet jacket, a velvet skirt, a silk sweater with velvet roses, a silk blouse and a cashmere top in the “yes” pile. She decided to buy it all for a holiday trip to the East Coast. Not only that, Ehrlich recalls, “She said she’d be back for more after the new year.”

‘Angie Dickinson’s color is pink,” we hear from ceramic-jewelry designer Kimberly Rado, who is styling a handmade necklace and matching earrings in a shell-pink shade for the actress. It’s a gift from volunteer workers with SPRINT (Special Preventive, Research, Intervention and New Technology) for Children, a UCLA research project focused on prenatal health. Dickinson is a generous supporter. The necklace doubles as a belt and is a one-of-a-kind design. Rado’s ready-to-wear styles are sold at Geary stores under the Kimberly Designs label.

Alyssa Milano, 13-year-old TV daughter of Tony Danza on “Who’s the Boss?” is typically teen-age in her taste in clothes. She says she dresses according to her mood, dislikes skirts and adores the following: jeans, baggy sweaters, flats and lots of jewelry--”rhinestones and stuff.” Milano is also learning to become more articulate about her fashion sense, because she was recently signed to be the spokesperson for Greenstreet, a sophisticated junior line. Asked to describe Greenstreet clothes, which she wears at times on the show, Milano says: “They look like adult clothes, but, like, shrunk down.”

Elusive rock star Prince proved a decisive shopper one recent weekend. Designer Betsey Johnson was in her new Melrose Avenue boutique when the singer emerged from a stretch limo at the curb and dashed into the store. Prince quickly picked out a long magenta-pink snap-front dress with shoulder pads. (Johnson speculates he’ll wear it as a long jacket.) He also chose a purple shell-print sweater with matching print pants. “He comes in, points to the things, his bodyguard gets them, and they’re out,” says the designer, who managed a hasty introduction. “I said I liked his work. And he said he liked mine.”

The fur has been flying at Somper Furs on South Rodeo Drive. Victoria Principal bought herself a reversible trench coat lined in Blackglama mink. Mary Hart of “Entertainment Tonight” purchased a Blackglama full-length mink coat and a coyote jacket. Kenny Rogers bought his wife, Marianne, a Russian golden sable coat and a mink vest. Somper’s Jeff Lehman, who told us all the above, says what made the Rogerses’ shopping trip unusual was “they drove their own car, a little Chrysler, with a phone in it. They usually drive up in a big, chauffeured number. I guess they wanted to be incognito.”

La Prairie,the Swiss skin-care firm, really knows how to celebrate the season. This week, 125 special friends of the firm received cards with a ribbon-tied enclosure that reads: “1985 will be remembered as a year of giving. In that spirit, La Prairie would like to make a donation in your name to the charity of your choice. Please complete and retun this card so that we may give your donation during the holidays.” Very much in the spirit of Christmas, the gift is also in the spirit of the company’s 1985 ad campaign, which features 12 stunning Horst photographs of prominent women, including Princess Stephanie and Princess Yasmin Aly Kahn, Mrs. Gordon Getty and Mrs. Dennis Stanfill. In exchange for their participation, La Prairie donated $50,000 per woman to the charity of her choice.

Dads who don’t have a clue what size clothes their kids wear, what trendy trinkets teen-agers are aching for this Christmas and other such vital information, might find help at the Esprit shop in West Hollywood on Sunday afternoon from 2 ‘til 6. It’s been designated Dad-Is-Top-Dog Day, and you can thank “Dynasty” producer Aaron Spelling for putting the idea into somebody’s head. Spelling recently stopped by the Esprit store to shop with his daughter. Even though he wasn’t alone, he got a lot of extra attention from the staff. “We realized that other fathers could use the same help,” says Karen Tremewan of Skalsky and Bates, the company that is overseeing the Sunday project. Special services will include a check-in desk near the door where dads can be assigned to a sales person and pick up a cup of coffee, and an express checkout lane for fathers only.

‘Giorgio’perfume--at $7.99 for eight ounces? Listen saw the yellow-and-white-striped spray bottle of canine scent at the Pet Department store on Melrose Avenue. Our pooch saw it too but whined “pet-ulantly” when we sprayed some behind her floppy ears. She knew, of course, that it wasn’t the real thing. So we bypassed the fraudulent fragrance and went looking for a four-legged version of Donna Karan’s turtleneck cashmere bodysuit that pooch can wear on cold evenings.

Christmas shopping on Rodeo Drive rarely inspires understatement. So when Rodeo’s retailers sent their suggested list of must-have gifts, we weren’t surprised that a sensible silk blouse wasn’t on it. But who wants sensible? Listen took a vote and decided our favorite “musts” are as follows: Louis Vuitton’s one-of-a-kind, leather-covered standing trunk, able to hold at least 10 suits, 20 dresses, 10 sweaters, five pairs of shoes, 10 shirts, two hats and several coats and accessories. The trunk, sans wardrobe, sells for $13,000. It’s at the Vuitton shop. A few doors away, Gucci offers something a little easier to wrap: a tan fox fur throw from Finland, backed in oatmeal-colored cashmere and priced at $15,000.
