From horror to harmony in the fitting room

Deirdre Kindthistle

Just before their doors closed for the day, I dashed into my local department store. I found myself trawling the sales racks, unconsciously absorbing a message coming from multiple video screens advertising an undergarment supposed to endow an older body with the appearance of a younger one. Just the appearance of youth, mind you, not actual youth.

Clutching an armload of discounted merchandise, I hurried merrily into a fitting room, where I quickly started changing.

Holy mackerel!!
