Unitard

“You know what I’d like for Christmas?” This was an established joke between Paula and Mark, who would reply, “Her mirror?”
     Eventually this exchange became rhetorical and applied whenever they saw someone wearing a completely inappropriate outfit for his/her body type. There was a nuance to it, though, as that person must be rocking the look, otherwise their comment devolved from cheeky to just plain mean. Paula came by the quip through hard knocks, having been taken aside by her girlfriends that day in 1986 when she paired the sky blue cat suit with the lace gloves and yellow scrunchy.
