Too much luxury
Somone was selling several Coach bags on an internal mailing list recently. The description came complete with this note:
"When we purchased the Lexus RX300, with a deluxe coach leather interior, the purse and duffle came as part of the interior package."
All I can say is that if I bought something so overpriced and useless that it came with not just one but two overpriced leather bags, I don't think I would advertise this fact.
Fashion
I've long known that fashion makes no allowances for such minor considerations as comfort and warmth (how else do you explain pantyhose?), but I've always thought that fashion designers retained some basic rudiments of common sense. Last night, in the skiwear department, I was proven wrong. Horribly, dismally wrong. One simple phrase for your consideration: low rise snow pants. They look good, I'll admit that. But when you lean over, they form a gaping hole down the small of your back that simply *begs* for a snow ball. Staring at it on my own back in the dressing room mirror with no snow in sight, I STILL felt the insidious impulse. There is just no way I can reasonably expect my friends to resist the temptation (I bought bib pants instead - much safer all around).
