Stepford Underwear Wives

Wow! The first few inside pages of the NY Times has lots of bling advertised: jewelry, watches, and Jimmy Choo shoes (just what Grandma needs to pitch headfirst into the baked ham). But I digress.
There was a big ad for lingerie, too, a model in lacy bra and panties. (Also what Grandma needs). The underwear models look like they are all in some weird zombie state. Totally motionless. Like statues. I used to notice this in the Victoria's Secret catalog, too. You never get an ad of someone running to answer the phone in her filmy finery, or tidying up the kitchen or heading for the shower, petting the cat, making the bed, some of the things one might actually do in one's underwear. These woman are standing stock still like they've been stunned. They don't even look like they're having erotic thoughts. Well, maybe some of the VS girls, do. Sort of. But mostly they just look really weird. They aren't smiling, but I wouldn't either if I had to pose in my underwear. They are phoney-baloney and you want to sneak up behind them and yell "boo!" Or turn a big snake loose in the room. Have a peeping Tom crash through the window. Something. Anything.
Couldn't they at least have a cocktail and a cigarette?

Grapeshot, who has a long ugly "to do" list and is procrastinating like mad.
