Somebody Actually Buys This Stuff?
Lew Magram
I
got one of these catalogs the other day, and quite frankly, I was insulted.
Who are these Lew Magram people and why in the hell would they think I would
wear this stuff? I wouldn't, unless I was a 55-year-old transvestite hooker
on a fixed income. And probably not even then. It's one of those things that
happens when you get out of your twenties. You begin to get catalogs
that
advertisers think are perfect for your demographic, and all of a sudden you're
picturing yourself in these awful outfits my mother wouldn't even wear (and
she's 60). I got a letter from AARP once. That's the American Association of
Retired People or Persons. I'm only thirty-five, for christ's sake! What's next?
Funeral plot pitches? Adult-diaper-by-the-case offers? Damn. Once you break
30, you're on the shit pile as far as advertisers are concerned. the road to
death.Well, I may be half dead, but that doesn't mean I have to dress like it.
On the plus side, this stuff is cheap. And yes, I do mean inexpensive. The lovely flowered top is only $34.99!
