If you are one of those, who following the Thanksgiving Day food cram, delves into the Black Friday shopping fest this might be just the thing for you. A “Combined Shopping Bag and Skirt Holder” patented by Girolamo Comi of Cobalt back in 1906. According to the patent application the device is a ” skirt-holder in connection with a shopping bag, so that a woman’s skirt may be conveniently held up and released at will”. I will leave the phrase “released at will” open to interpretation by the reader…….Happy Thanksgiving!
