Re: Pride

Gay Pride is a celebration of diversity and inclusion. Wear exactly what you enjoy wearing, and what you enjoy been seen in. The spirit of the occasion is that nobody will be critical or judgmental. I avoided the big San Francisco parade for years, then I was actually in it several times, marching w...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

Doc has finally offered some of their "Mary Jane" shoes in men's sizes. https://www.drmartens.com/us/en/t-bar-regency-leather-mary-jane-shoes-whiskey/p/31528248 Now if they would only bring out their #8065 twin-strap sandal in size 46 (approx.12-UK), something I have passionately wanted fo...

Re: Hypothethical Question

Who made these rules, and who is going to enforce them? The Costume Gestapo? I'll wear what I damn well please. That might include some blacks, greys, blues, browns, and forest greens. I'm not one for florals or gaudy harlequin stuff. Or neon colors. I do like plaids and geometric designs. Checkers ...

Yes, but as usual I would require some pockets.

Re: Duckfeet: Kilt in advertising

Get on the email list of DuckfeetUSA.com and they start sending you incentives (like, discounts), especially if you have already made a purchase. If you order from Denmark (Duckfeet.com) the selection of colors and sizes is slightly larger, but you pay shipping, and no discounts that I know of. I be...

Re: Duckfeet: Kilt in advertising

That's the Duckfeet Lolland in black. They look great with a kilt, or anything else you're wearing. https://duckfeetusa.com/products/lolland-black I have these in brown, size 46. Duckfeet has got to stop calling these "Mary Jane" and listing them as "women's shoes." Elsewhere the...

Re: So my wife got me a handbag for Christmas….

Don't exactly need a purse or handbag. When I'm in leggings, there's an annoying lack of pockets, so I compensate by wearing a sportsman's zip-front utility vest, which has loads of pockets. Or, carry a book-bag. In an area frequented by students, a book-bag never looks out of place. My favorite boo...

Another Costco dress

Jessica Simpson ladies' cozy dress. $12.97 at my local Costco. In three colors: black, navy blue, and burgundy. Approximately knee length, has side-slits (trim-tabs, I call them). In a warm, stretchy fabric. The illustration on the label has a rather "unisex" look. I have not tried one on,...

Re: Male anatomy

Male ballet dancers have something called a "dance belt."
Think industrial-strength jock strap.
40-some years ago, curiosity grabbed me, and I tried one on.
For about 10 minutes. That was more than enough.

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

I could gladly do away with the term "Mary Janes" as it is too pointedly gender-specific. How many men and boys are willing to wear a style of footwear commonly known as "Mary Jane?" (Don't all raise your hands at once!) Better they should be called "bar shoes," "s...
