One Size to Rule Them All


Kayira Be Readers! Week's end friends! I think the holiday season is officially in high gear now. I've got a few dinners and such events going on from now til the end of the month. I try to avoid the malls usually at this time of year, preferring to shop online and sidestep the crowds. I have noticed though, that the crowds did not appear this year at the mall. I'm sure they'll be there as the days get fewer toward Christmas, but the last few weeks haven't been too bad on the occasions when I've dared go shopping. I bought the above garter skirt at VS on sale. I forget the exact price, but it was low enough that I couldn't pass it up. It's pretty nice, but the sizing could have been a little better as I think it only came in two sizes to fit all. Whoever thought of "One Size Fits All" should lose their job, because one size does NOT fit all EVER! Anyway, this item does fit OK if not perfect and the overall quality is very nice. The garter straps are removable as well, a nice feature.

I understand your aversion to crowds when you're on a man mission, but don't you love being with all the ladies, looking, touching and feeling the finery? It still brings back recollection of the mystery, excitement and embarrassment being with Mom on shopping excursions when we wound up in "ladies foundations."

Garter skirts are sooo cool. Sizes run too big, too small?

Hey, it just occurred to me. Why hasn't some enterprising attorney sued VS for not having a men's dressing room?

JamieLin, I have similar memories from childhood. I hadn't thought of it in years or maybe ever, but I can recall exactly what you described. A feeling of excitement and embarrassment in being somewhere I wasn't supposed to be. I had the same thought about VS dressing rooms; I'd imagine most guys would be too ashamed to even mention that they'd wanted to try something on in there!
