Re: Streetwear Footwear

This isn't my attitude: We started over 25 years ago helping people who were assigned male at birth find products to express their femininity - first with a catalog and later, a website devoted to those who needed specialized clothing and products to express their true selves. Over time, we emerged ...

Re: Success

Sometimes what the image states is true. Sometimes what people call "success" is due to inheritance, privilege, and exploitation of others.

Although I call it a waist pack or belt pack, I make the same choice. Helps in remembering to take my wallet, pocketknife, keys, and phone when I go out.

Re: MIni Dresses & Skirts for Men

We are making equality statements not only in fashion, but everywhere else. We are giving equality to women and demonstrating how she is entitled in equal pay nor matter what we wear. When a woman walk through employer door in a dress and works with a man in a dress doing the same job, she should e...

My adult son suggested I change into pants before going someplace formal with him a few times. I politely declined and he now seems used to it.

Re: David Ross Lawn

With #2, there's a major stigma we the common folk are going against and trying to overcome. I live in a conservative small town. I'm almost always in a skirt, although I wear trousers or a dress once in a while. I don't find any major stigma. Probably some folks used to talk about me behind my bac...

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

So why do we need to rehash it over and over again????? I agree with Al it is unnecessary to do so. There are new people in the cafe since the last discussion. They want to be part of the conversation. That's fine with me. People have already said what I had to say--that other verses in the same ch...

Re: Let's never speak this word again

Women wearing pants did not occur, in America, until Katharine Hepburn wore them off a movie setback in the 1940s-50s. My mom told me the story of how when she moved from Chicago to a Minnesota farm in 1930, she was the first girl around to wear snow pants in the winter. It was already normal in Ch...

Re: That rare male compliment

My wife had to be hospitalized in Peoria for about 8 days for neck surgery. I stayed with her, but got to go home once and changed into this dress for comfort. I wore it day and night about 4 days. A lead nurse (male) and a head doctor (female) mentioned it. The nurse thought it very practical and t...

Re: let's list why we like skirts

"Why?" questions aren't even real queries. They're just disingenuous probing into someone else without even the respect of trying to understand their perspective. My answer to "why?" is a little personal, but may be helpful to many, so I will respond. I dealt with an itchy skin ...

cash-is-king.jpg Spending locally, with cash the money stays local. Fifty transactions from store to store and the money is still local. With plastic, the banks get a percentage, say 1%, each time. With 50 transactions the banks own about half the money. I understand that charging a surcharge for p...

But isn't a state of mind real? You can argue whether it is a choice or delusion, but it is still real.
