Hey!

I've been thinking of ordering some new shirts. Fortuitously, the JC Penny catalog arrived in the post this afternoon.

Women's wear is on pages 2-77. Men's wear is pages 78-85.

Do I detect a slight shopping imbalance?

I suppose that depends on the section from which you plan to order. Remember, ruffles are no longer in fashion.

did someone say "catalog[ue] shopping"?

ah, but twas ever thus in catalogue-land.

the sterling James Lileks (of The Gallery of Regrettable Food fame) recently dug up a Sears Catalog 1973 and is putting the more cringe-worthy pages up, one week at a time. It's good for a giggle.

a) yes, brian, I realise that you were only 7 at the time. You'll find clothes similar to those you prolly wore back then.

b) WARNING: both Polyester Double-Knit and Colours Not Observable In Nature will be found on these pages.

Project Runway needs to get crackin' on some designs for men. I'm just sayin'.
