Summer Shopping: 2009

summer (n) the warmest season of the year: annually preceded by summer shopping, an annoyingly-wearying ritual involving shopping for barely-there clothing and related accoutrements....

The douche responsible for the “empire waist” as well as anything that hangs from the shoulders to the hips (i.e. all the “recycled-from-the-80’s” fashions) had to be a woman, one carrying a bit much in the midsection at that.
