Mumblings: Someone in marketing wasn't wearing their thinking cap.

NOT the clothes I wear. (Disclaimer: This post has absolutely nothing relevant to homeschooling...but you're prolly used to that by now.) Anyway, I ventured out to a local discount retail clothing department store last night, in need of some winter attire. So as I slash my way thru racks of clothing packed tighter than sardines, I keep noticing a certain brand on the labels. In fact, my husband noticed it on another shopping excursion (because most husbands have nothing to do while their lovely wife sets up habitation in the dressing room EXCEPT notice labels). It says "Sag Harbour".

Now I ask you (as my husband asked me), what woman in her right mind (or over a size 14) would ever want to wear clothing labelled "Sag Harbour"??? Like I need reminded???? What kind of hip name is "Sag Harbour" anyway? (Not that the clothes are hip, they're not.) Maybe that explains why so much of their product line ends up in a deep discount store......hmmm. I would love to write this company and remind them that even though Christie Brinkley is their fashion model and looks oh so attractive in their digs, she'd look as good in saran wrap and sea shells too. Not to mention Christie doesn't know the term 'sag' as it relates to the rest of us, and probably won't in this lifetime. As the classic line in 'Singing in the Rain' goes, so I say: "What 'd ya think I am, dumb r somthin'?"

If I ran the corporation which produced this line of clothing, I'd have fired the goofball who suggested that brandname within a fraction of a nano-second. If only I ran the world......

*sigh*
