Hehe, what Carl said. I know, it's kinda bad, but, for me it's just another skirted day out of the seven per week... Last pair of shorts finally had their inseam blow out, so I helped them become a skirt. So, right now, I'm trouserless.

I'm ostensibly retired, in that I get a Gov't stipend to reward me for reaching a certain age without being a burdon on the state. This covers the bills, allowing me more time to bludge while congering up my next world beating contribution to the world of High Fideliy. Audio at least.
My new power supply pictured here will, (believe me, power supplies do matter) produce an even greater three dimensional sound from your vinyl than even the fastest of solid state diodes.
I believe it is because they are operating in a vaccuum.
Also bigger physically does contribute to a bigger, more bulked out sound image.

Don't you just hate that? When an inseam blows out, I mean. Because like, who carries a spare? Who do you call for roadside assistance? What if your naughty bits get twisted in the shrapnel? It all demonstrates yet another advantage of skirts.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.

lol, in 2004, I once was wearing a pair of jeans while I was hunting for auto parts at the local Pick-n-Pull. At the time, the yard was quite muddy and frequently had lakes that the cars sat in. Went to jump over a puddle and heard *rrrriiiippppp!*. Noticed that a certain area was receiving airflow that it normally wouldn't receive when wearing trousered clothing. The jeans were an $80 pair of jeans that had been purchased for me about six months prior by my sister, who has been trying to keep me stuck in the stereotypical male outward appearance ever since I started having longish hair, back in the early '90s. Anyway, luckily, I had a skirt in the car, so when I got out to it, I quickly changed, then went about the rest of my business. When I got home, I threw the now air conditioned jeans on and walked in the door. That was the last time she bought pants for me. Now just ask for stuff above the waist for xmas and birthday gifts.

Long time since I wore jeans, but used to find that they thrashed out between the legs as I walk around a lot.
I really like the feel of a long skirt around my legs while walking, and today I put the Style J on over the long polyesta dress to go up to the shops (it has the "jeans" pockets which the dress lacks) with a long sleeved top ( still cool weather here at the start of Spring) and found it feels a lot better than the denim alone. That caused me to dig out the other long "maxi"skirt to wear under the denim when I have a short sleeved top on. Although it is polyesta it feels silky. The polyesta long sleeved dress is cosy and stretchy and is good over other stuff.
I feel very confident and free in my unbifurcatedness, and never give it a thought.
I do think one should keep one's bod in good shape for skirts. There's nothing more ridiculous than a short fat bloke in a short knee length or above skirt.

Agreed. Unfortunately it's getting harder to retain the 'racing snake' appearance :(
Still, trying to keep the pounds off should hopefully prolong life and give more years of skirting :D
