BY BETH PORTOLESE Let's talk about Ageism shall we? We all know it is out there in some subtle and not so subtle forms; however, I've encountered a couple examples of it recently that I just have to point out because well, they bugged me! When I lived upstate I used to get a lot of catalogs in the mail. This tends to happen once you get on the mailing list for one product and they share your name with a million others. Once I moved to the city, this stopped because they didn't have my address. Because I get so few now, the ones I do get stand out and I actually look at them instead of throwing them away. Last week I got a catalog from Neiman Marcus which normally has some nice clothes in it. When I looked through it, all that it had in it were baggy clothes.
