The "Mad Men" inspired poufy cocktail dress! Saleswoman: Imagine greeting your husband at the front door with a martini! Imagine purring,"how was your day, my poor, tired sweetheart?" Imagine rushing home from your OWN job to fulfill that classic female fantasy... Assistant: May I ring that up for you??

That IS NOT a female fantasy - a female fantasy is coming home to a husband who says “I got a sitter, how about we go get dinner and neck massages?”

That’s just the point, ejcapulet, which is why Cathy just smiled and dumped the martini on the salesclerk’s head. In other words, shut up, Ms. Salesclerk!

When I worked weekends my husband would greet me, then have me sit down & put my feet up (I worked mostly on my feet) and then he would massage my feet. Talk about a fantasy come true! Definitely a “keeper”!!

While I love the gorgeous wardrobes and dignity of the past, I don’t think I could summon up the energy to look as good as they did.

Personally, I think the female fantasy is coming home to find hubby’s cleaned house, has a candelight dinner ready, soft music playing and the promise of “extra curriculars” afterwards.
Or is that more of a pipe dream?
Knowing how self-conscious Cathy is about her hips, I’m surprised she’d even try on that dress.

It might work IF the woman didn’t have a job outside the home and IF she didn’t have a lot of kids to deal with. But if she also works let him pamper her sometimes. It’s give and take ya know?

those 2 sales clerks look like 2 old maids that make up their own fantasies. They are trying to relive there youth. Thats when that style was in.

I would not like that look. And with today’s lack of job market there are more people looking for work and that type of fantasy is just that. I’m glad Cathy dumped that glass of water on her head.

She looks like Mamie Eisenhower – I wore those dresses as a kid, and they sucked.
