While channel-surfing with my lovely wife, we ended up catching the final segments of What Not to Wear. The episode featured a young woman living in Manhattan. Her “after” pictures looked great.
“I wonder what the ‘befores’ look like,” I said.
As if in response, the show cut to her “before” pictures. They were
mostly a cross of college “schlump” outfits and stuff that was locked
permanently in 1987. She looked more New Jersey than New York.
“She lives in the city,” I said, “she should dress a little.”
Wendy recoiled in horror.
“Was it something I said?” I asked.
“No, it’s how you said it. You sounded just like my mother!”
Oh, great. I think I just cancelled the next fortnight’s nookie, and I
didn’t even do anything fun like coming home completely smashed with
the boys to play Grand Theft Auto.
