Love this, and I don't see it as particularly unmarketable.
And the "tao of" titles are probably a little too numerous at this point.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They always sound to me like copycat advice books propped up on really vagued-up Eastern bullshit and sold to business types. (And, sadly, I don't disagree at all with the "marketable" assessment.)
There's always "Zen and the Art of Lingerie Sales."

Or "Zen and the Pantyhose Man"

Punishingly Intricate
I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You. I think publishers will fear it, maybe.
A Pantyhose Man is a much scarier concept to me!
(I think both of those titles are great. I'm not a publisher though.)

Art Crawl!!!
Happy Birthday Jilli! I hope that the procedure goes well.
Isn't it funny how it seems that every year all the OTHER guys in People's Sexiest Man alive are sexier than the guy on the cover?
And for askye's fluffy cat, may I suggest the Norwegian Forest Cat? They are like a cobbier Maine Coon Cat and I met a most impressive one at a cat show. His front paws were at least as big, if not bigger than my hands.

I'm good with calling Matthew McConaughey the sexiest man alive, at least for a month or twelve.
He's kinda pretty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been told that perkins the cat is probably part Norwegian forest cat, and it's safe to say he's pretty darn fluffy [link]

Happy Birthday Jilli!
I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You, but I may be biased from having more experience with snotty clerks than panty hose.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I like Life Lessons from the Pantyhose Man the best. t /unhelpful
