Lisa Kerson, a jewelry designer in her early 30s, whose parents insisted that she look nice when going to a play or traveling on a plane.
Huh?
Her parents apparently are throwbacks to the 50s and 60s when air travel was something actually special. "Jet set" and all that.
My grandparents told me similar stories about getting really dressed up for flying. I even heard Joan Rivers complaining about how people dress sloppy in first class.
