I know it's me, but I have to ask

Imagine you're invited to a wedding. For the sake of reality, let's say it's your cousin from your mother's side. It's at the Waldorf+Astoria and you probably know most of the people who are going, except for the old fogies that were invited by the parents on both sides, because ... well just because. In my case, you also have to pretend that you're female. For the devoted female followers of this blog, you have one less thing to imagine, yet you are more familiar with this situation.

You go shopping for a dress (black of course) because all the other dresses (black) that you have in your closet are a) not the right color, b) don't fit, c) out of style, d) all of the above. So after several trips to the mall or store, you find the right dress for the occasion, and if you're (un)lucky you have the shoes to go with the dress.

It's a sunny, pleasant Saturday afternoon as you arrive to the church, but as soon as you walk in you sense there is something wrong. From the corner of your eye you notice "the other woman". That B----! How dare she! What will you do? You hope that at least you will be seated at opposite ends of the reception hall, but do you take a chance. "She" has also sensed a disturbance in the force and is trying to a Jedi mind trick to shield herself.

But there is no escaping it. You are both wearing the same dress and neither of you is going to back down. It's a total catastrophe! Your whole night is ruined. Now if you were a guy and you actually noticed that someone else was wearing the same suit as you, the 2 of you would lock eyes, there would be an upward nod, and a tacit acknowledgment of both your good tastes in clothes. Heck you might even buy each other drinks at the bar. By buy, I mean order, because there better be an open bar. Otherwise, you wasted all this money on a suit and they don't even have open bar? C'mon, Shanto.

In light on these facts, why is it "cute" for my 2 girls to have and wear the EXACT same outfits, at the same time? And to boot, there are stores that specialize in mother-daughter outfits that are EXACTLY the same and are intended to be worn at the same time. I admit, the girls do look cute, but that's because I'm their Armo Dad.

My devoted female followers. I need answers.
