Feeling Like a Twilight Zone Protagonist
The fashion world has once again reminded me that I am not part of this culture…
After wasting the better part of a day searching for a minor upgrade to my interview clothes, I have learned that no man under the age of 40 - and no woman of any age - has even heard of a tie tack, let alone knows where I could buy one. The girls behind the counter at TJ Maxx were convinced I was making this all up, until the security guard (the over-40 guy) stepped in to explain that “tie tacks” really existed… once.
I suspect he also came here from my weird parallel dimension, where the men had tie tacks and the women had eyebrows. I should have asked.
Anyway, tie tacks: I'm rolling Need on the next one that drops.
