I think that giving compliments is an art that is difficult to master. My friend Debbi in New Mexico is one of the best compliment givers I know. I strive to be like her, but am stingy with compliments. I don’t know why, but it is a character flaw. I am much better with sound advice, but that is probably also a character flaw.
Last night I was drying my hands at the automatic drying in the bathroom of The Daily. Two women had just finished a conversation about the second’s Prada Purse. The Prada Woman got behind me in line for the dryer and said, “Are those Seven jeans?”
“What?” I asked.
“Are they the brand Seven?”
“Um, no, they are from Lane Bryant (FAT JEANS).”
“Oh. Well your ass looks great and I don’t mean that in a queer way.”
“Thank you, I’ll take it.”
