[MR] Idea for a university class

[kerrimart at mindspring.com]

True duck tape doubles can be very useful, but you have to be careful how you
make them.  If you squish yourself in the wrong way, getting a bodice to fit
properly is difficult (It all depends on where you want your girls to be, if
you know what I mean) - (I've had the same problem with male dancers and tight
pants- depending on which side they "dress"-- now THOSE are entertaining to
fit)

"Making a duck tape double" would also be a good class, but it is a separate
class from "How to alter patterns and influence people"
