Feeding The Economy with Fashionistas

We have a new baby boy in the family. Cutie and I went to the bris. The mom looked radiant. I can't believe she had a baby 8 days ago. I thought I looked good a week later weighing in at 10 lbs more than pre-pregnancy weight. Anyway, she's in the fashion industry as are her friends and family. I'm amazed. People still where high-heel shoes with pointy toes. We're talking 4-inch heels.

I'm so out of it. I got comfortable in the late eighties and never looked back. I came to the conclusion that only secretaries wore heels. I forgot about the fashionistas. There was someone in my old apartment building that had the bleach blond hair and wore heels. It really is their uniform. Just as jeans is mine. Their uniform is much better for the economy. They get to buy among themselves creating a special economic unit with teens and 20-somethings drooling for brands.

It's so good to be 40-something and past all that.
