Weird things you have accomplished

50. Entering the Way Back machine

Back in the early days of the Women's Movement, when there was much discussion of exercising one's liberation, I decided on a very symbolic act. I was too practical to waste my meager salary burning a perfectly wearable bra so I went to the grocery store one evening in nothing but a light flowing rain coat and a pair of flat shoes. Nothing underneath. There was something freeing about all the fresh air under the coat and no one but me knowing that I was without the usual accoutrements expected of a decent young lady. I giggled to myself as I picked out a few purchases. It was a small gesture to be sure -- never did break any decency laws -- but I knew that under that lavender A-shaped, light-weight, beltless, floating coat was nothing but shameless nudity. And I LOVED IT!! I laughed about it for days.
