It's 1965 and Judy, Kathy and Laura are chatting at the park while their children burn the backs of their thighs on the hot metal slide. Laura is admiring Kathy's new bangle bracelet that she picked up on sale at Lazarus.
Judy: Hey Laura, I saw some neat shoes to match your new yellow dress in the Zappos front display window while I was window shopping the other day. I think they were Franco Sartos!
Laura: Really? You know I made this dress myself on my new Singer slant-needle 404! Rob thinks it makes me look too thick and I'm having a dickens of a time finding shoes to match, so I just put on these old black things.
Judy: They'd be just the thing, Laura. They're yellow patent slingbacks with a groovy black button. The heel isn't too high either. Y'know what? I bet you could find them on sale at Endless, they always seem to run a good shoe sale.
Kathy: Well, what are we waiting for? Grab the kids and let's go!
