In the golden era of the past, women bought new spring outfits with new girdles that worked well with the new outfits.
Now Sara Blakely and her Spanx empire creates forgeries. Spanx garment are created to convince women that they are wearing real girdles, but those fake girdles do not work.

Women have been deceived. I remember once when I was a college girl, I bought a girdle/garter pull up off the rack.

My mom when nuts because it did not have hooks and a zipper. She told me that I was not to leave the house in my new purchase.

My mother would go crazy today.

>>>Interesting Tom. I think it`s true to say that

>>Yes, I believe you`re right. I think that in many
