I’ve always said that I don’t wear dresses because, when I do, I feel as if I am not fully prepared for an emergency. What if I had to run through tall weeds, brush, deep snow or a nonmigrating flock of mosquitoes? What if the emergency called for fighting fire or high winds or blood-thirsty porcupines? What if it’s 20-below zero? I’d frostbite my legs. What if it’s 105 above? I already have a farmer’s tan on my arms, do I really need an Armani tan on my legs? What if I h...
