An idea

Post by Freedomforall »

I had an epiphany just moments ago. I think it would be neat if some of us could create a skirt museum. It doesn't have to be a physical one per say, but a virtual skirt museum would be quite neat.

That is a good question and I am glad you asked. I was just about to type that when my neighbors initiated fireworks and scared my dogs to death. I think the history of skirts would be a neat thing to see. It could also display the types of skirts designed through history.

Seems to be the story of my life. Something has almost always been done when I think of it.

Don't take it to heart... they say no human has had an "original thought" for a long time now.

It's a plausible idea.
Would this be a museum of skirts, or a museum of men's skirts?
Either way, I would gladly volunteer to be a docent there.
And can you imagine the gift shop??!

Great idea. When I finish the heritage restoration works on my building, I am going to offer part of the ground floor to the local historical society for a museum ....... hmmmm, I better start looking for some cheap male mannequins. People can't criticise inanimate objects for wearing skirts. Brilliant, big window displays of men in skirts, facing the main street. I can see it, a real traffic stopper - no surprise to the locals though.

Good idea Anthony. Just make sure that they are mannequins and not womannequins!

That is a kind offer, just a problem of putting a mini skirt on an upper torso :)

We certainly don't want to discriminate becasue the torso does not have legs....lol

Two thoughts:
1- wouldn't this be more an item for the general discussions?
2- the French association H-E-J (Homme ne jupe: https://asso.i-hej.com/ ) has done so already. They even had gatherings to promote the skirt wearing by men with one of their prime sponsors Hiatus of Nimes.

on facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pg/sobritish67 ... 7306789601

and how it's promoted on the french TV (F3), which is more into the regional items.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldECuM9 ... u.be&t=543

Yeah, that comes up from time to time.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.
