Overheard At Beacon’s…

Saks might be effed, but biznass at Beacon’s Closet is booming, so much so that they’ve got a new Park Slope store to show for it. Whilst trying things on in the dressing room, I overheard the following exchange between a girl and her boyfriend:

Girl: How does this look?

Boyfriend: You look SO SKINNY in that!
Hear this, men: Shopping with your girlfriend is either foolish or noble, depending on your ability to answer this question correctly. If she tries on something that’s less than flattering, simply feign ignorance, pretend you’re bored and grunt something to the effect of “Good.”

If she tries on something that really does look good, You-Look-So-Skinny-In-That will get you laid Every. Single. Time.

You’re welcome.
