My Best Dixie Carter Impression


So I went to go buy a new ball gown because my old one no longer fits. See the lemon curd post. I found a LOVELY one in BCBG, half-off. Sha-zaam. Then I saw another one that was the most gorgeous color of blue green. I tried it on.

The salesman said to me "I was afraid of that. See how it accentuates your hips."

Excuse. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

"See, it accentuates your hips." He says it again. 20 year old piece of ....

Because the thing is, I have hips. Boy, do I ever. But I in no way feel the need to HIDE them. I have hips. Hello, I'm a WOMAN. We have hips.

I told the 20 year old as much, doing my best Dixie Carter I told him that women have hips and they should never be told to hide them and he should be ashamed of himself for saying so to me or anyone else.

He said, "I just want you to look your best."

My best I say, includes hips.

I hate him. I don't think he cares.
