Abstract

"We couldn't ignore their siren song!" my son insisted. My husband sheepishly lowered his head. "You carried these through the mall, in public?!" I was aghast observing the ghostly white, curvy, naked form, absent of any gender identification, complete with attached high-heeled boots. "Two of my students saw us and took pictures," my spouse continued. "They laughed at me," he ended in a whisper.
