"Stay in your comfy pants." That ad slogan, for Giant's curbside service, is quite telling. Evidently,

there's such an air of entItlement about, that (older) people don't want to trouble themselves into putting on real clothing.  Sad.  Even sadder, since grocery shopping is generally done by women ... "comfy pants" ... mental pictures, mental pictures - UGH!

If Joel, one of my late husband's buddies, is still alive, he'd be pushing toward 100.  Anyway, Joel, being a widower of several years, had made mention of wanting to, eventually, find a lady friend - one around his age.  But - this being years ago - he said that had not met any available women whom he found  attractive ... said something about frumpy.  What Joel didn't say, but was written on his face, he didn't quite understand why.  Yeah, the guy was old back in '95; came from a time when women - even poor/homely women wanted to look like women, not drudgy/loutabouts.

While glad, Giant has the curbside service, the slogan could stand a serious makeover.

  1. Karl Lagerfeld apparently said that if you see a woman out in sweat pants she's given up - which is probably pretty true actually, but I was sitting there reading that in sweat pants, huge woolly socks and no bra! I think he would have despaired of me (although I don't go out looking like that of course)!

  2. Dear Treaders, especially since my husband has passed, i wear old faded clothes at home. It's hard enough finding attractive/functional outfits, so want to preserve what i have.
