The Ink-Pot and the Palette

OT, but I was just in Duane Reade (chain drugstore) and they had a rack of clothing accessories made by a company called Hollywood. One of them is an elastic strap that in effect takes in your pants, but only at the back so the front stays flat. I have forgotten what this as distinct from their other gimmicks is called, but if you are interested and can't find it chez vous, I'd be glad to get you one. It sounds very handy for your now way-big pants that aren't horrible enough for you to be grateful for a chance to throw them out, but not good enough to have tailored (or not good enough to have tailored YET).
