Re: very short shorts

I think you have to define what a zero length seam is. If it is nothing, then there is no crotch and therefore no bifurcation in the garment, therefore the garment is a skirt. I rest my case. :) :) :) :) :thewave: Methinks we're getting dangerously close to contemplating an infinitesimal here, and ...

Re: HVAC question…

I replaced it with both a new wheel and new replacement motor - it's actually... worse at the highest speed. At the lower speed it's OK. For now I configured the replacement motor and wheel to the slightly lower speed for heat, but I'm feeling majorly defeated at the moment. Not sure where to go fr...

Re: Men's fear of skirts

1. He says that women are the gate keepers of sex. There's no surprise here. This was never an issue for me as I came to the conclusion -- before puberty -- that I would never sire progeny as I'd glimpsed what the future would likely hold -- and I was not wrong in that. Thus, that matter was never ...

Re: Men's fear of skirts

I know in my own life that what kept me from displaying feminine characteristics was the heavy 1960s christian message against being gay, which still comes from part of my family. This collided inside my brain with my love of women and the things they wear. Calling somebody homosexual in so-called ...

Re: Ballet Flats and Mary Janes Back on the Runway

They are still doing the typical ManBox crap! When will it stop? Give it up. It's not going to change or get better in our lifetimes. We lost that battle in the 1970s and it was officially buried low in the 1980s. We can try to soldier on one-by-one, but that's going to get dangerous in some places...

One of the joys of the human condition is that not only can we learn from our own mistakes, but also from the mistakes of others (if they're considerate enough to be honest and open about 'em).

Re: HVAC question…

The motor looks to be fine but I’ll take a closer look. I think I can run it with the impeller off - though I don’t know if the motor can be run safely with no load? Most household motors are synchronous AC types and can be safely run with no load. Trainspotter48 brings up a good point about series...

Re: HVAC question…

Clearly something is out of balance with the blower assembly, and the easiest way to test that in the field will be to simply remove the impeller, spin the motor up and see if the motor vibrates when unloaded. If it does, the motor is out of balance somehow; if not, then the issue in entirely likely...

Re: Necklace as... neck tie?

I routinely wear a simple quartz crystal on a fine gold chain around my neck. It's nowhere near as constricting as a neck-tie and suits my personality quite well. It gets comments, too. I've worn such adornments for years varying between overt statements of occupation (an early 1960s disk-drive head...

Re: Imgur stopping photos from displaying in the UK

The actual reason is of the UK governments own making, with its online safety bill to protect children. part of this, is that systems have to have age verification as part of the sign on to use the systems which Imgur apparently doesn't have and so is being fined by the UK government. In response I...

Re: Imgur stopping photos from displaying in the UK

There is a workaround for UK users of SkirtCafe. As Imgur will not serve photos to UK IP address ranges, one should be able to use a VPN set to the USA say, to fool Imgur into serving the photos. Note: Imgur is a site that's entirely separate from SkirtCafe and we here have no control over it. If I...

Re: Eurostar Uniform Skirts Now Unisex

Since Sky News Australia is basically just another version of Faux News, I'm glad it pissed off the conservative base over there. With all that pro-Trump rhetoric, it's backfiring on them in the best possible way . To hell with fascism and anyone who supports it. As I pointed up to my elder aunt ye...

Re: Techniques you've used to get more men into wearing skirts

I was amazed that the cafe was mentioned and wondered if doing the request from my computer, which accesses the cafe often, affects the result? Or are those bots that are always logged to the cafe, noticing the similar question? Yes, lots of the 'bots that trawl the Cafe are likely feeding these &q...

Re: Techniques you've used to get more men into wearing skirts

The result of slow baby steps at best will get us masculinized skirts and dresses made of heavy scratchy fabric. You will have you choice of the drab color palette consisting of black, brown, dark blue, and gray. Is this what the folks on the Cafe want? It certainly isn’t what I want. Women now wea...
