(It<br>sure didn't look as if they had.) The woman gave me the fishy stare<br>to end all fishy stares; I think if I had asked to be fitted for a<br>bra (!) I couldn't have elicited any more ill-concealed hostility.<p><br>I notice their store isn't there any more. Divine retribution,<br>I calls it....<p>> I rarely go to dance stores though. I order on-line for<br>> convenience and because it's less costly, even with shipping.<br>> Dance stores don't cater to men as there are very few of us that<br>> create a demand at the local stores.<p>I know. Even at Capezio's main store in Manhattan the selection<br>for men is dim. And mail order isn't as easy as it used to be;<br>M. Stevens offers black & white tights & nothing else, & Bal-Togs<br>have gone unisex: last time I got a pair from them I had to order<br>women's in extra-large: that was all they offered.<p>Tom Parsons[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
