No Blanco Para Tu

Today was supposed to be the day we did something outdoorsy... alas Panama weather had other plans for us.  Instead of outdoors we settled for a huge mall.  Jodie and I went with the purpose of finding clothes.  While at a department store Jodie wanted to try on a white shirt and a cream-ish dress.  When we got to the dressing rooms the attendant TOOK HER CLOTHES, told her "no blanco para tu.... otro colores"  Then proceeded to take the clothes Jodie picked out and came back with other colors...  We found this strange but just laughed about it.  Get this, EVERY store we went into told her no white.  One went as far as NOT LETTING HER TRY IT ON.  Weird, right?  Maybe it's some weird law, you have to be a certain shade on the color scale to wear white.  Thank God I wasn't trying to wear it..... Jodie looks hispanic next to me.
