Stereotype of the Month Entry
(12/24/02)


Another Stereotype of the Month entry:

A friend bought me this watch as a gift . . .she did not realize the implications that the name of the watch had for me until i informed her. Am writing Swatch about it right after the holiday . . .

Rob's comment
Red skin and "indices," leather with fringe, owned by a man...sounds like your stereotypical sqauw to me.
