I saw what I thought was a really nice outfit hanging on a mannequin and if it wasn’t for the horrible figure on the mannequin, I might have been encouraged to try it on.

Then it occurred to me, if the size zero manequin can’t pull off an outfit, why would I ever want to try it on my size something else frame? Pass.

The second sales fumble was when I was killing time surfing real estate websites looking through homes and snooping at how people decorate.

One write-up that caught my attention began, “Immaculate” so I continued reading and reviewing photos.

I can’t confirm the animal I saw on the front lawn of this particular house was in fact a rooster, I’m merely suggesting if it was a rooster wandering the grounds, I might be hard pressed to call the home and the surroundings, immaculate.

Then my eight year old walked into the room, looked over my shoulder and said, “OMG is that a rooster? FYI Mom, you’re looking at a rooster.”

OMG I can’t believe I’m worrying about strange sales tactics.
