I have skirts at everything between fairly short denim minis down to floor length, and I really couldn't say I had a favourite length. It depends on how I feel, and what the temperature is!

Having accidentally timed a short break in Paris for the exact days when the temperature climbed to record levels, I was happy to spend one day of our visit in an ankle-length, olive-green Incerun skirt. As one would expect in Paris, there were a lot of very well-dressed people, including some men's...

I have the necessary chest mounds to fill out the chest area of my dresses. They are so comfortable, I wonder why more people, particularly women, don't wear them. I think you alluded to one of the reasons: women often wear dresses to accentuate their femininity, so dresses are often designed to em...

Just made my second venture out in a cropped T shirt, which although it was gender free in the ?1970s, now seems rather fem-gendered. The first time, I wore it over linen trousers, and got a long stare in Waitrose car park from an older guy. This time, I tried it with a long skirt, and got the kind ...

I mainly use hair elastics or scrunchies, or a large claw grip. But this week my wife decided to plait it, and we both liked the effect. Now I just need to master the skill of doing it myself!

Sizes are crazy: I always try to shop with a tape measure. Waist size is sometimes deceptive because a skirt may fit higher than trousers. One of my early purchases was a second-hand skirt labelled as "16", which is one of my tighter fits, and that misled me as to my likely size; on two oc...

We had a Pride march last weekend so, reckoning that practically anything wouldn't look out of place, I abandoned caution and wore a tartan mini skirt with black stockings and a black, somewhat cropped top. It's the first time I have dared to wear stockings rather than tights under a short skirt, bu...

At a quick glance, I like some things and hate others. No surprise there! Brown is one of my favourite colours; so is green, and there are some nice multi-layered looks in green there. One pair of loose shorts with a bag at the waist (Dior) looks so much like a kilt that they really should have been...

I happily wore the usual short shorts in the late 1960s and 1970s (and wore shorts to school until I was 12, though the school uniform ones were on the large and baggy side). Tubular shorts which reached nearer the knee were then the mark of a foreigner. After recently taking up running as exercise,...

:D :D One of the many things I don't understand is why the Pope has to get a new name. I think that happens with nuns as well. The pope doesn't have to. The custom developed gradually. When in the 6th century a man named Mercurius was elected pope, he felt that such a blatantly pagan name was inapp...

Just catching up with the forum after a few days away. I have to say there are a lot of very sensible comments in this thread. I have been engaged in a bit of discussion on Facebook with a friend who is a lifelong campaigner for women's rights (especially in 3rd world countries) and is definitely a ...

In all seriousness, I wonder if this is on RFK's radar as he seeks to find the root cause of what seems to be an Autism epidemic. He seems pretty sure that it's environmental. It seems to be utter confusion from someone who gets their information from the wrong places. There is some evidence that c...

We are men who just happen to choose to wear skirts and dresses, therefore we should use the Gents, not the Ladies facilities. Our choice of clothing does not give us the right to invade women’s spaces. This debate has arisen because some men (however they define themselves) ignore the rights of wo...

I think an apostrophe for plurals of single capital letters is now regarded as acceptable variation. It carries over from lower-case use, as in "mind your p's and q's", which is hard to read correctly without the apostrophes.

You don't think there will be a 3rd Trump term?

not really.

I think that Trump will be retired in favour of Vance running next time.
