ME!

 

I'm standing in the checkout line at StuffMart. The cover of Cosmo catches my eye. There's some bombshell on the cover wearing a dress that looks like a slip. Except the "bust" portion of the dress is either knitted or crocheted. I decide to take a closer look.

 

So there I am, peering at this lady's boobs, the magazine only two inches from my nose. The guy behind me says "She's really something, huh?"

 

"Uh...uh...," I say intelligently. At this point, I realize that the guy thinks that either A) I'm gay, or B) I'm gay. I decide to play cool. "Just looking at her dress," I mumble.

 

"Did you see her on TV last week?" he asks me politely. "Uh, no..." I mumble again. "Who is she?" I ask him, hoping that maybe he'll think I'm nearsighted and need new glasses.

 

"Jessica Simpson," he replied.

 

"Who's that?" I blurt out, belatedly realizing that my ignorance of modern entertainment personalities will probably make him think I either A) live in a cave, or B) have recently escaped from an Amish or Menonite community.

 

He gives me this funny look. I throw money at the cashier, who has found the conversation amusing, and yell, "I'm just trying to tell if the dress is knitted or crocheted!" I grab my bags and make my escape.

 

But deep in my heart I know....

 

They think I'm gay.

My husband is convinced I'm certifiably insane with the way I make him pause and do slow-mo through movies now. I say "ooooh! That's crochet!!" and he just kinda rolls his eyes and then smiles.:blush

OMG! :eek I did the exact same thing when I saw that (I didn't notice who it was on the cover either!). I'm thinkin':

Yeah - I think that's kind of like the bikini I made with a little extra underneath and I think I could do that and I wonder how they got the yarn to EXACTLY match the fabric and that must be really expensive yarn and I wonder what it is 'cause wool is just too warm but it doesn't look like cotton and...

 

Well, you get the picture. Anyway, the only thing I can say to make you feel less embarassed about your story is at least you weren't STROKING HER BREASTS(!) when the guy behind you makes the comment! :blush:blush:blush

 

I'll never be able to shop at QFC again!

Yeah... they think you're gay, but they think you're gay with really good taste in fashion... (or women)
