Re: 2nd culottes to skirt conversion.
Nice job. Your conversion has given me a few ideas and with all the yard sales and rummage sales each year I'll have plenty of cheap material to experiment with. And hone my sewing skills. I have enough of an imagination that I don't have to see your face to get the idea. Thanks for posting this con...

Republican Debates ?
I don't know about anyone else but I think this is the 'bottom of the barrel' when it comes to Republicans and their bid for the presidency. These people are all so out of touch its unbeliveable. This country is being run by lobbyists and we are electing figure heads. What do you think.

Re: Will young men ever wear skirts?
Since the marketing is only half hearted at best, young men will not be wearing skirts anytime soon, but they will be there to make fun of older guys that choose to wear them. Thats what I'm seeing where I live. No mainstream or even littlestream trend toward skirt wearing is active in the Lansing-J...

Re: Kilts mainstream
'Hot Topic' is a nation wide chain that caters to the goth and alternative fashion crowd and it would be the perfect place to market a real kilt for men. Not a costume type kilt. One visit to this store and you can see the potential for marketing and as far as fashion goes marketing is where its at....

Re: ??? about wearing a kilt
Its a good look and if someones miffed then so what ! You have captured the look and are warm to boot. You don't have to show your face , even a drunken monkey would get the idea from the great pics. you posted.

Re: HOW MANY SKIRTS DO YOU OWN?
I used to say over 20,then it became over 40. I just took a count yesterday and its over fifty and my wife asked 'how many skirts do you need ?'. Its not a question of need or want but I find it hard to pass up a bargain. Some of my skirts were purchased at retail but most are church rummage sale or...

Re: The Good Olde Days!
Right on. Hit it perfect Skip ! I'm 65 and I remember it like it was yesterday. We didn't have anything back then you could call 'throwaway'. If you threw something away it truly was trash and could not be used any longer. When they introduced throw away diapers I remember thinking about the local d...

Re: The Feel of a Skirt!
I have over 40 skirts in different styles and lengths and the feel and freedom I feel wearing them is where its at for me. My wife loves me in my skirts and thats a plus. I'm not going to burn my jeans just yet but thats always an option.

Re: Pockets, or Lack Thereof
Converting cargo shorts is a excellent idea for everyday out and about skirts. I have a shop near me that make alterations and I'll be taking them a pair of my cargo shorts and see if I can get them to do the conversion. This will be interesting to say the least. I'm going to make it clear that this...

Re: Black Friday 4/15/11
I was playing on Pokerstars.net , just for fun stuff and taking advantage of the freerolls. I have a wagering account for horse racing and even that has been questioned by the goverment boneheads. I find it a violation of my freedom when I'am told what I can or cannot do with my money. I hope the po...
