Cathy: On behalf of the women of this country, I'd like to know what the designers had in mind when they created a summer full of leg-revealing mini-dresses and micro-shorts now that we're forbidden from getting suntans, the one thing that made our legs vaguely presentable. Saleswoman: Nude hose! Ta, da! Nude hose are back! Cathy: But all the shoes designed to go with the mini-dresses and micro-shorts are sandals. Do I wear hude hose with sandals? Saleswoman: Oh, no! Hose with sandals? No! For nude hose you need the enclosed pump! Cathy: I wear nude hose and pumps with shorts? Saleswoman: Oh, goodness, no! No pumps with shorts! Only flats with shorts! Cathy: Nude hose and flats with shorts on Saturday?? Saleswoman: Heavens, no! No hose with shorts, and no hose on Saturday! Cathy: So, nude hose and enclosed flats with mini-dresses and micro-shorts for the office? Saleswoman: Mercy, no! No mini-dresses or micro-shorts to the office! No! Cathy: I see. So...no sandals with hose...no shorts with pumps..no hose on Saturday...no minis or micros to the office..three departments full of clothes, and there's nothing that can be worn in any combination whatsoever! Saleswoman: Curses on the informed consumer.
