ON THE BACK BURNER

I've been vindicated or is it validated, by the NYT,Style Section. It's OK to buy and wear Granny underwear.  A few months ago, I decided that the hip hugger underwear that I was wearing were not all that  not comfortable. Either I have no hips or my waist, hips and thighs are all the same size, or worse, my love handles were moving up to my belly and said belly was hanging over the waist band. So I did what I had to do, I bought a 6 pair package of Hanes, cotton underwear that look like something my Mother hung out on the clothes line. Cost, probably less than $10 at Walmart. Extremely comfortable, if you need to know. I kept this purchase secret. Who needs to know that I have turned into my Mother. But today, I can say that Calvin Klein is making cotton undies , that look like mine, that sell ,one pair for $33.00. I took a chance on comfort over style and Calvin , who may or may not be a good Jewish boy,realized that there must be a lot of women out there who need  help. Good boy , Calvin. Your Mother would have been proud.
