I went through my mail today. Although I was only away for ten days it's a huge pile. One of the things that I didn't even want to open was a catalogue for "the modern housewife." (how did they get my address?) But it was worth it, I was so surprised what exists in Germany that I didn't now yet. Not only are there "thinking lipsticks" (sounds good, wonder whether they process information?) which are kussecht! (kiss-real) "Dauerfusselrollen" (permanentlintstickrolls) "Frühlingsschmuck" (springdecorateurs), "Blitzbügler" (flashirons), "flexi clean New!", City shirts and country panties, no there are also: Vase quartets, heartflowerkeepers (Herzblumenhalter) dentprotectors (Dellenschützer), hangingearrabbits (Schlappohrhasen), wallpuffer (Wandpuffer), completsets (Komplettsets) netpears (Nistbirnen), lawnseperators (Rasentrenner), gardencats (Gartenkatzen), lawndrafters (Rasenlüfter), masterglassblanc (Master-Glassblank), magicbraid (Zauberzopf), nailchewstop (Nagelkaustop), invisible bras, bathingfeet, handmassagehedgehogs, radimax, Tischtuchklammernblume and a Spätzlehexe (noodlewitches). Once you have all this you are a modern housewife and then you know in how many colors the favorite Coverflowerdress comes and you're bound to win the supergolf. If you take the perfect Reisebegleiter (travelcompanion) with the practical pocketdivision, you can leave all this shit behind you and start a new life with "Easy comfort." Have fun and don't forget to be modern!
