Pumps' Perplexities

Years ago, the only time a woman stepped foot into a men's
barber shop is when she had a young boy in tow....Long gone
are the old hydraulic barber chairs, the copies of Esquire
magazines, the Daily Racing Form and cigar or cigarette
smoke which adorned these establishments.....

Where are the steaming hot towels, the straight razor leather
straps and the rose water.....All gone......It is even tough to
find a male barber these days.....

Now it's Hair Cuttery, Family Hair Care and Great Clips with
a sign on the window that says "men welcome"......The old, rough
looking, barber who could take a horse bet or the "daily number"
has been replaced by a woman....

No more smoking, no more "girlie" magazines and you better
watch your language.....The men's bastion is gone.....Pumps
