Shouldering A Heavy Load

Back in the 1980s, my friend Elgy wore blouses with shoulder pads that could rival anything that Blair from The Facts of Life could muster up. In fact, the only thing that could rival Elgy's shoulder pads in terms of size would have been her giant hair, which was almost as big as a hot-air balloon.

I only bring all this up because apparently shoulder pads for women are ... making a comeback! You may have read about it in various publications, including the Wall Street Journal.
