I always like to have a spare on hand. And a second spare and to be sure another one.
It´s the same thing for everything i own, from electric guitars to shoelaces, cheeses and kitchenknives.
I noticed that the drawers in my wardrobe was stuffed to bursting, so i did an inventory of my lingerie. So here is what i keep in my wardrobe:
Nine suspenderbelts
Four bras
One waistcincher
Two bodies (one with detachable suspenders)
Two camisoles
Two chemises
One basque
10 pairs of tights
23 pairs of stockings and holdups (about half not even opened)
41 pairs of knickers (counting the pair i was wearing)!
How many women owns 23 pairs of stockings or 40 pairs of knickers?
It´s very clear that my problem is not that i dress in ladies underwear. That´s the sane part.
No, i am obviously a manic hoarder and an internetshopping addict. Picture me on a sofa talking to a shrink:
Me: I have this problem with ladies lingerie that i wear.
Shrink: Comforting words , accept who you are etc...
Me: No, you get it all wrong. I enjoy what i wear but i want to stop behaving like a squirrel preparing for winter.
Another thing: My mum. As a pensioner she has a lot of time, and can sometimes spend days just preparing the shopping list.
This weekend she has an honorary doctorate dinner to attend:
Mum: I was trying to find a pair of shiny tights for the dinner, but they were awfully expensive.
Eight euro for a pair, and they problay won´t keep for more than one evening.
Me: That´s a lot of cash. I had no idea. Don´t they sell them in packs of five at the supermarket?
And another comment, this time it was on my ecofriendly washing detergent:
Mum: Is that detergent good?
Me: What do you mean? Does my clothes usually smell dirty or something?
Mum: No, but does it make it look clean?
Me: Well, for white garments i use an eco-bleach also.
Mum: But of course you don´t have any white knickers to wash.
Me: No, thats true Mum.
