Yet for the last 30 years women have wanted to believe with All their hearts that even though they May not be Able to Cross their legs in hot weather they re wearing the same dress size As Kathleen Turner grow up if you re wearing the dress then Kathleen Turner is using it for a Condo. Why after All these years should it become so important to me because of a pair of purple tights delivered this week from a mail order House. They Cost $12 plus postage. I know you can t see them but they May sound familiar the Waistband when fully extended is smaller than Sean Penn s smile when he sees paparazzi. The entire length from foot to band is 14 inches. My kids tongues were longer than 14 inches when i asked them if they washed their face before dinner. Trying to covet my body with these would be like trying to hold Back the Start of the new York Marathon with a hygienically sealed toilet strip Are you getting a feeling for these tights at All Tho wrapper said these tights can fit anyone weighing from 90 to 165 if i understand it right these Little shrivelled limbs with pouches for feet can be worn by Rita Moreno Roseanne Barr a pregnant Sigourney Weaver miss Piggy two Sandy duncans Dustin Hoffman doing Shakespeare Beverly Sills Ann Margret and me. Rather an Eclectic group would t you say in Allol these 30 years have i Ever doubled what tha manufacturer told me get real every time i pull on a pair of pantyhose that slops at my Pelvis i am overcome with guilt what s the matter with me i whine As it i were born on a monday and have defective parts. It s wrong to sit around praying Lor a run to relieve tension alter the purple tights experience i vow to Stop blaming myself Lor not being up to the one size fits All code. Not All women Are created equal. We re not even divisible by the and d charts on the Backol the package. Someday at an antique show somewhere our great grandchildren will pick up a plastic egg with one size fits All printed on it and ask what does that mean Don t be surprised in no one is Able to explain it
