FOR BETTE MIDLER, singer-comedienne
Why do you wear such awful clothes? - O.M., Wilmington, Del. 

Are you referring in particular to that pair of bloomers I wore up around my chest instead of where it was intended? To answer your question - because I like them. Unlike that old joke about Chinese food, my clothes stay with me forever.  I tend to recycle my favorite things from one show to another. Always shortening, lengthening, taking in or out.
