A reader favorite in our paper is Coffeetalk. It’s a quick daily brite found on the back of the weather page.
I was delighted this week to see that I was several days out in front of Coffeetalk when, on Sunday, I made my plea for the health industry to redesign hospital gowns.
On Tuesday, there is was. My answer. Only it’s happening in Europe. Those fashion-concious Europeans gave designers $37,500 each to develop prototypes for products that would increase patient dignity and prevent the embarassing “flash.”
The Labour govenment in England has promised to get the designs in hospitals across England next year, but only if it wins the national election this spring.
Come on, America. We don’t need high fashion. We need a better way to preserve our butts.
