Talk about a blast from the past–on a whim I just googled what I remembered about my favorite blurb from the J. Peterman catalogue (circa mid-'90s), and lo, there it was. The skirt isn’t available, but the prose still is. [My favorite.](http://www.jpeterman.com/LC-Annatas-Skirt) I was a nerdy teenager, and wanted nothing more than to be beautiful and mysterious. Alas, the skirt wasn’t enough. Did you have a favorite? Link to it. I love these. ---

I’ve always loved the fact that John O’Hurley (the actor who played Mr Peterman in _Seinfeld_ was one of (possibly the) major investor in re-starting the brand in the late 1990s. ---

I can’t separate the real Peterman catalog from the Seinfeld Peterman. Maybe I need to go on the Peterman Reality Tour. ---
