Woman Within

We regularly receive women’s clothing catalogs from various online merchants. Whether we purchase women’s clothing for me or my spouse, we charge the purchase on my credit card. As a result, all the women’s clothing catalogs, not to mention all the wig catalogs, are addressed to me. It doesn’t bother me, but I wonder if the mailman notices? Especially the aptly named “Woman Within” catalog, a name that always makes me smile when I pluck it from our mailbox.

Don’t know why, but that reminds me of our niece who worked summers at Victoria’s Secret. She mentioned once that the store averaged at least one male customer per day who was purchasing bras and/or panties for himself and how their bra fitter frequently had to fit males for bras.

I was not out to our niece, otherwise I would have asked her for details. But it does indicate that our trans sisters have enough confidence to shop for themselves at “Vickie’s” and they are not alone. (I’ve often shopped at Vickie’s for myself and was fitted for a bra at the store our niece worked at, but not while she was on the staff.)

And so it goes.

Pet Peeves

I hate clothing catalogs in print or online, that display clothing just hanging there in mid-air instead of on a model. In midair, you see how the clothing looks on a hanger in your closet, but on a model, you see how the clothing hangs on a real person.

I guess they can claim that by not using a model, they can pass along the savings to the customer, but I prefer models modeling clothing, not hangers!

And what about the catalogs that do use models, yet crop their heads in the catalogs? What's with that?

One of my favorite online clothiers, ideel (formerly ideeli), recently switched to cropped-head models and since they did that, I spend a lot less time perusing what they have for sale. A cropped-head model is a lot less attractive than one with a head on her shoulders.

And go figure why they go through the trouble of hiring a model to show the clothes and then crop her head?

Weather

We just went through a very humid spell the last few days. Luckily, the high humidity ended in time for the convention I am attending today through Saturday.

Although the convention hall is a modern air-conditioned facility, getting in and out of the building today requires lugging stuff for our booth from my car, through the clammy parking garage before experiencing the modern wonders of indoor climate control. So less humidity today means less perspiration as I do my booth babe set-up duties.

Mid-July means that fall clothing catalogs start showing up in my mailbox. I received my first fall catalog yesterday and look forward to more because the fall is my favorite season for both the weather and the fashions.

While on the topic of weather, every evening I watch the weather forecast on WTNH out of New Haven because the weather forecaster, Erika Martin, is a fashionista. She seems to wear something different ever night and I love her fashion sense. 

Stay cool!
