You, the Consumer, Drawn


I just got a sewing machine (for sewing! Home Ec redux!), and the best thing about it is this picture in the instruction manuel. Presumably this is the footwear that the good people at Brother envision their typical customer wearing as she sits at her crafts table in the refinished rec room. "Criminey -- I forgot to make the deviled eggs for the fair!"

It's like they're saying, "Enjoy your machine, housefrau. You can make a lot of muu-muus with this baby!"

They could've at least drawn Crocs -- stylish slopwear for those too classy for flip flops and too sane for slippers outdoors.
