Last week Quiet Man was driving along and spotted a window sticker on the back of a passing car. He pointed it out to me and it sure looked like the stick figure family had a Dad in a skirt with some sort of blobby design (flowers?), the Mom in the same triangle shaped skirt but no pattern on the skirt, and two kid figures that I didn't have time to notice their clothes. Now I'm wondering it it really was a skirt on the dad or shorts legs together but since the hemline was straight across the bottom it really looked more skirtlike. Who knows exactly what we saw but it sure made us smile at the possibility.

Think I saw a skirted dad in a window sticker family!

A two woman family?
Hello Skirt-Chaser,
It would be great to know that a guy wearing a skirt was willing to put his image out there, but I wonder if the sticker you saw was actually depicting a family with two lesbian women at the helm. Here in the San Francisco CA - USA area, this is known to be the case sometimes. There are families with two gay men as parents too.
Whatever it was (or is), onward we should go in skirts, whether it's with army boots, Gucci loafers, tennis shoes or high heeled pumps.
By the way I had a fun time last Saturday: Went to a gala wearing a man's black shirt, a black pleated skirt with grey pinstripes, off-black pantyhose and my highest heels (4 inches). My feet were aching at the end, but I had a really good time.
Cheers, John

Vive la difference
I always have to smile at the image this conjurs up. Ye see when I was a wee laddie pumps were what are now called tennis shoes. Aye, high heeled sneakers - wasn't that in a song?John wrote: Whatever it was ......... or high heeled pumps.

Different versions of English
Jock,
Interesting on our versions of pumps...you see a running or athletic shoe, and I see a dressy high heeled woman's shoe. You're thinking white socks, and I'm thinking pantyhose or stockings. Vive la Difference!!
"Put on your high-heeled sneakers, it's party time..." is from a Steely Dan song of some years ago. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were the creative forces in that band, and the line you mention is just like the sort of lyrics they composed.
Cheers, John

"FM" was actually a song for a movie of the same name. It wasn't on one of Steely Dan's albums. And the correct lyric is, "Kick off your high-heeled sneakers, it's party time."
I had to jump in on this one, especially since my name here is also taken from a Steely Dan song.

Are you crazy? Are you high? Or just an ordinary guy?

(I'm not a fan of high heels.)Hmm... it was only recently (thanks to a game I started playing a day ago) that I even heard the term pumps used for something other than tennis shoes! Shows how the same word can mean completely different things for different people, eh?

Hatred is learned, not inherited. Let a little child from Iraq play with a child from the United States, and they will play together without a care in the world. Put the children back in their homes and their parents and the media will teach them hate and prejudice.

High heeled sneakers
High Heeled sneakers has been sung by many.
I have The Who singing it in Quadrophenia and the rolling stones singing it.
My preferred version is by the man who wrote it,Tommy Tucker AKA Robert Higginbotham
Tommy Tucker sang it in about '62
It's a superb, bluesy song and when Tommy sings it you can't sit still. Bloody amazing!

Elvis sang it too apparently.
