Re: Solomon Bergquist

That’s odd, Mouse. I’d clicked on several of his posts and hadn’t seen such comments. Maybe I’m getting too old for this newfangled technology lark :-)

Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers

Maybe worthy of a separate post, but I have noticed recently that there have been some instances of overt skirting on The Internet (mainly Social Media, but also in news reports) where there has been zero reference to the clothing. Now, I don't know whether this is an age thing (youngsters see it as...

Solomon Bergquist

For those of us reckless / crazy enough to navigate the swamps of Social Meeedjya, we may see this Princeton attending writer / director balancing a Smörgåsbord of everyday objects (sometimes ridiculously heavy) on his chin whilst simultaneously wearing some interesting clothing via the site known a...

Re: Dua Lipa’s SNL performance featuring skirted male dancers

Been a fan of Dua Lipa for some time. Love her Tiny Desk performance from a while back (and you get to hear her Sloaney accent, which really works for me :-) ) Love the work she did with Elton John. And her White Town sample reminds me of my teenage years.

Re: Sightings "in the wild"

Monday 15th April, London, close to Spitalfields Market. Guy in an ankle length silver silk skirt or dress (if it were a skirt, I guess you would call it a maxi - looked like it could be stride limiting) with heeled ankle boots and a male-cut blouson jacket that reminded me a bit of a short donkey j...

Re: David Ross Lawn

Followed him for quite a while on Instagram. College lecturer, musician, photographer and lover of fashion - what’s not to like :-)

He got some really negative press when a right-wing commentator decided to pass comment. Fortunately, the brand in question supported him.

NPR reporting style guide

Reading this NPR article , one sentence stood out - How will this change real estate commissions ? For decades, the norm in this country has been for the person selling a home to pay both her own agent and the buyer's agent. I presume that this was a deliberate choice by the (male) journo (rather th...

Re: Oscars 2024

A great looking outfit for anyone who has the right body frame and personality to pull that type of outfit off.

Re: Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

I’m not sure I agree with the rationale for the U.K. not getting hung up on 22.5. Scots wearing kilts are cited as a reason. I’d suggest that the main reason is that the U.K. is not that religious. In 2023, over 50% of those questioned in a survey stated that they did not believe in God (or an equi...

Re: Is anyone else trying to learn a language?

I've always wanted to be able to speak a second language, but despite several attempts I've never managed to progress beyond schoolboy French. I went through a period of reading Le Monde and listening to a French-language Swiss radio station (Couleur 3) but I never got it to stick - partly because I...

Re: Subscription services irony

As Alanis Morissette would no doubt state, "Isn't it ironic, don't you think?" I may listen to that tune on Spotify later on (one of my many subscriptions!) ARR - annual recurring revenue. It's the only metric that anyone seems to care about in my field of work. Recurring revenue is valued...

Skirted / kilted dancer caught on film

The wife and I are great fans of a YouTube channel named Traveling Robert. He and his wife have over 1,000 videos of their RV'ing adventures. In this episode, they are visiting Nashville and at around the 3m 30s mark there is a guy with a white shirt and what looks like a skirt or kilt dancing near ...

Re: Article in The Guardian by a man who wears skirts

I think that in Western Europe the UK is the only country where it is common for wives to take the name of their husband. I was not aware of that - interesting. I'd always assumed that it was a fairly widespread practice throughout the western world and other places where Christianity was the domin...

Re: Article in The Guardian by a man who wears skirts

I'm a solid 2.5 on the feminism test from Phin's sister. If I had kids and if I had a wife with an unusual surname then I'd be happy to take her surname in the interest of keeping the name alive. As it turns out, my wife has a common as muck surname and we have no kids so I'll stick with the surname...
