This is news?

Gee. I thought it was American women that were overweight. Those Londoneers carry tooo many pounds.

Some people blame monetary policy for the Great Depression. Others blame credit policy, others blame structural contradictions, and still others just blame e-vill corporations.

I blame women voters.

It's good for the economy.

Wow!

[R. Scott]

My daughter has around 100 pair of shoes.

[Panerai]

And how much of those money is on shoes?

[proxy_user]

And how does this compare to men? Do we have any male volunteers to do a survey?

I think I have finally nearly managed to stop buying things I won't wear, but this is after many years experience.

[bluesagewoman]

This thread should open up a can of worms.

[Ditter]

Yeah. so? Not every purchase is a success. Some cars are lemons too. Some expensive dogs bite or pee on the furniture, some steak is tough. "Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances."

How do those women live with themselves? I'm sure a homeless person would love to have that lime green polyester halter top some callous Brit snagged from the clearance rack last year.

Keeps the foreigners working don'tcha see. Planned obsolescence or in the case planned never to wear...

[Riley]

Women waste billions on clothes never worn

Riley drops what he's doing, rummages around in the closet, takes out enormous bullhorn, hikes to the top of the tallest mountain, fills his lungs and in a roaring bellow, thunders...

DUH!!!

(Somewhere out there tonight, the Ex Mrs. Riley, is examining a bulging closet which cannot be made to fit another article of clothing, and will in all liklihood utter that familiar refrain, "I don't have anything to wear- I need to go shopping".)

I think in FY 2005 I bought a pair of khakis, a pair of corduroys, a six-pack of tube socks and maybe some underwear (I'm not counting assorted baseball caps). And I'm single.

There may be a corollary.

deju vous all over again

[paulat]

I think you not taking into account that women are prone to thinking, hopefully, about "size."

"I'm gonna wear that when I get to that 'size'"

Also, due to homornal cycles, women have to have at least 2-3 sizes of clothing, just to accomodate fluctuations.

My dear wife buys all of her designer clothing at consignment stores for typically what the sales tax is on the item new. She looks for what she calls "diet dresses", new with labels and never worn by women who hoped they could diet their way into them. She has build a fabulous designer wardrobe on a Penny's budget. I'm glad I married smart and beautiful.

My "wardrobe"...24/7

The stuff in the closet that the we-mons don't ware must be their "this makes me FAT" cloths.
