...who buys this stuff?
If it can be purchased through the mail, I get the catalog. Seriously. Today's mail included a catalog of organic potatoes. Potatoes! (To be fair, I think they also sell parsnips and other root vegetables.)
The potatoes looked pretty sensible, though, when I saw a sweat suit in the next catalog. It was pink. It had a zip-front hooded top and drawstring pants. It was made out of cashmere and it cost more that $250.
Two hundred and fifty bucks for a sweat suit?
And I can't imagine you'd wear it to the gym...it is cashmere.
But I can't see wearing it to work or out for a nice evening on the town...it is a freaking sweat suit.
I can only guess the purchasers of such a thing would be people applying my totally random method of gift-buying, but at a much higher dollar level.

Makes more sense than the cashmere sweats. And Karen, what would you do if some grubby first-grader smeared your cashmere sweat suit with that paint/chocolate/blood/tar mix that end up on clothes in detergent commercials?
