Why We Love Men

My husband is in Paris this week, and since I couldn't go along this trip, I put in a request for a great Parisian scarf. My only specifications were that it had to be a purple color and it couldn't come from a street vendor. It had to be from an authentic Parisian boutique. So, Frank called me as he came out of a shop on the Champs Elysées, with scarf in hand. From Benetton.

That sweet man paid almost twice as much to buy me a scarf from a chain store that is just a few miles away from our home. Men. They don't necessarily get fashion, but they sure do try.

(I did find this scarf on the Benetton Web site, and I must admit, if it looks like this, I'm really not going to be disappointed.)
